The Protector

Maurice was now becoming increasingly arrogant. During the management meeting, he insisted on interrupting.

He was upset but forced himself to suppress his anger.

Meanwhile, Gerry questioned, “Ms. Lopez, what happened? We didn’t hold a meeting to discuss this, so why are we rejecting the contract now?”

All the other members of management were puzzled.

Horace too inquired with a smile, “Ms. Lopez, may I know what the problem is? Weren’t we clearly on the same page yesterday? Why are you going back on your word today?”

Just then, Maurice couldn’t help but interrupt, “That’s right. Ms. Lopez, your decision shows that you are untrustworthy. You can’t let your personal agenda affect how you run the company. As actors, credibility is important to us too. Even if you are the boss, you can’t diss us like that!”

“Know your place!” Zoey bellowed suddenly, shocking everyone present.

“The company management is having a meeting. Since when do you have the right to speak? You are becoming increasingly presumptuous!” Zoey snarled as she couldn’t tolerate Maurice’s behavior anymore.

Meanwhile, Levi was secretly gloating.

Despite his wife’s gentle demeanor, she would snap back when cornered.
