Chapter: 1905
Henley chuckled. “Mitchel, lacking confidence? Just chatting up Raegan gets you this worked up. Imagine if I had taken her to bed. Would you be even more riled?"
Deliberately slowing his speech, Henley ensured only the two of them could hear, his every word dripping with mockery.
“Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated,"
Henley mused.
Henley had always pegged Mitchel as sensitive and easily provoked. It took just a few words to push Mitchel over the edge.
Initially, Mitchel had planned to settle things with a punch and then moved on, but hearing Henley's words turned his expression icy in an instant.
Henley licked his cracked lips, taunting, "No wonder I've been fixated on Raegan all these years. She's such a beauty. I couldn't help it.”
Enraged, Mitchel's fists became a relentless barrage, raining blows down upon Henley, leaving Henley choked and powerless against the onslaught.
More and more onlookers gathered around, drawn to the spectacle unfolding before them. The company's higher-ups duking it out? No one dared to step in.
Spotting someone filming, Raegan swiftly grabbed Mitchel's arm.
"Mitchel, knock it off!"
Unsatisfied, Mitchel hurled another punch before finally releasing Henley.
Now, Henley's once-handsome face resembled a bruised canvas, a real sight for sore eyes.
“Tug along, Mitchel. Let's head to your office," Raegan insisted.
They couldn't afford any more public spectacle. Raegan knew all too well that Mitchel, as the CEO, losing his cool in front of the staff would spread like wildfire. His already shaky standing in the company would plummet further, fueled by this incident.
Moreover, without grasping the full picture, people would naturally side with the apparent underdog.
Nobody wanted a hot-headed leader.
As expected, murmurs started rippling through the crowd.
"How could Mitchel stoop so low? Even if he can't stand Henley, brawling in the office isn't the answer."
“Henley's always courteous to the receptionist, and he's often treating us to dinner. A kind soul like him doesn't deserve this kind of bullying!"
