Riya turned at the call with a smug look on her face. She didn't see it coming as a hard slap landed on her face, catching her off guard as she fell on the floor at the impact.

She felt the seering pain on her left cheek as she caressed it with her trembling hand.

Her horrified face met Justine's confident one as he looked down on her with belittling eyes.

Justine shakes his hand, the one he used to slap the bitch out of her.

"Damn. My palm hurts. You're really thick-skinned." Justine smirked, seeing the incredulous look on Riya's face.

"H-how dare you slap me?!" Riya bellowed as she stood, anger seeping through her veins.

She lunged forward, clawing Justine on the face, her long nails scratching him a little as he was able to back away.

"You fucking garbage!" Riya screamed hysterically, aiming to grab Justine by the hair.

However, Justine just shoved her, taking advantage of his height and strength over the woman.

He couldn't control the surge of anger as he grabbed Riya's long blonde hair, gripping hard which made the latter squeal in pain.

"Let go of me!" Riya struggled but Justine didn't let her off his grip.

"What's with your hair, bitch? It's greasy as fuck! Do you even shower?" Justine grimaced, pulling harder and harsher that made Riya cry out in pain.30

Her screams echoed in the hallways, catching the attention of the employees who were about to head down the cafeteria for lunch.

"LET GO OF ME YOU FUCKING WHORE!" Riya was trashing her hands all over, scratching Justine's arms, but he didn't mind.

Having the woman screaming from pain is euphoric. He felt good to finally land his hand on this bitch after all the times he had to keep his anger bottled up inside him.

"I'm going to kill you!" Riya screamed once more as Justine dragged her near his cubicle.

"Then I'll just have to kill you first." Justine huffed, not wanting to let go of the woman who kept on struggling.

The people who were now looking at the scene were horrified and shocked. Some were even filming the brawl while the others call for security.

"Let me go!!" Riya groaned in pain as she kept pulling away from Justine's grip.

"You really want me to? Okay." Justine suddenly released the woman, the constant struggling made her fall on the floor, near the shattered mirror almost grazing her skin.

She looked like she's in the brink of crying, hair a total mess, lips quivering from both anger and humiliation.

"Now, why don't you clean that mess you created yourself?" Justine uttered, pertaining to the pieces of broken glass on the floor.

Riya glared at him before screaming at the top of her lungs like a crazy woman.

It was in this moment that the door to the CEO's room opened, revealing Ray with a shocked look on his face.

"What's going on here?" He asked in a dangerous tone, seeing Justine towering over a now crying Riya.

The brunet finally snapped out of his rage, hearing Ray's voice. He turned to look, eyes wide seeing Ray's stern face.

"ray.." Riya called out, tears cascading down her face like waterfalls.

She was a crying mess, looking too pitiful, but Justine knew better. She stood, running toward Ray as she cried on his chest.

"H-he attacked me.. Ray. H-he.." She sobbed, choking on her words.

Justine rolled his eyes at her acting. He gazed at the Ray who's now glaring at him.

"I did, but don't expect me to say sorry because she clearly deserved it." Justine admitted which only deepened the crease on Ray's forehead.

"S-see? He's even proud of what he did!" Riya clings onto the Ray as she glared at Justine.

"I'm going to sue you!" She threatened.

The people around just watched, too afraid to get involved. From this crowd emerged Bob and Jin who were huffing for air.

As soon as they heard that the secretary was causing trouble, they immediately ran to check on their friend. Their eyes widened at the sight.

"Justine!" Bob called out as he made his way to Justine's side. He looked at him, worried to see the scratches on his skin.

The brunet didn't pay attention to his friend as he stared at Ray with the woman still in his arms.

"I'm going to sue him, . I'm going to make sure he rots in jail!" She cried and repeated.

Justine felt his heart clench when Ray turned his attention to Riya, consoling her by caressing her back.

"Do whatever you want." Ray uttered, not even sparing Justine a glance as he went back inside the office with Riya following behind.

The pain in Justine's heart was too palpable, realizing that Ray really doesn't give a fuck about him anymore.

He was hoping that he would take his side even though it seems impossible. He had longed to be consoled by him too, but he didn't.

Instead, he looked at him with anger and disappointment.

The loud slamming of the door seemed to awaken Justine from everything, reality finally sinking in.

He felt Bob's hands on his shoulders, his worried look on sight as he stared at him.

"Are you okay? What happened?" He asked, seeing the pain in Justine's eyes.

Jin came to their side after asking the other employees to leave. He looked worried as well, seeing the bruises and scratches on Justine's skin.

"What happened?" Bob repeated but Justine just sadly smiled.

"Nothing." He responded, trying his best not to burst into tears. He looked at Bob's eyes, feeling too hurt and sad.

"Please take me out of here.. Anywhere.. just.. far from here." He begged in a restrained voice.

Bob and Jin looked at him, both nodding their head as they smiled encouragingly at him.

"Don't worry. We got you."

"Ray I'm hurting all over." Riya cried, clinging herself to Ray as they sat on the couch. She pressed herself to him even more which made the Ray sigh.

"I'll ask my driver to accompany you to the hospital. Get yourself checked." Ray said, removing Riya's hands on him.

He stood, uncaring of the hurt expression on Riya's face.

"I'm in pain because of that whore and yet you can't even show sympathy toward me." Riya uttered in a restrained voice that made Ray look at her.

"What exactly did you do, Riya?" Ray suddenly asked which earned a scowl from the woman.

"What?" She asked.

Ray stood in front of her, hands inside his pockets.

"Justine wouldn't have snapped at you if you didn't do anything. What exactly did you do?" Ray asked in a serious voice.

Riya laughed, feeling aghast at the question. She shakes her head in disbelief.

"I can't believe you, ." She huffed, running a hand on her dishevelled hair.

"Are you seriously asking me that? You think I provoked him that's why he did this to me?" Riya scoffed, faking the hurt in her voice, lips trembling as tears trickled down her eyes.

"He attacked me because he's jealous! I didn't do anything!" She cried, palms covering her face as her shoulders shake.

Ray sighed as he stared at her. "I'll call my driver so you could go." He said, making his way back to his table.

Riya lifted her head, eyes full of anger as tears continued to flow down her cheeks.

"You don't believe me, do you?" She asked in a stern voice.

Ray looked at her. "Just go." He said dismissively.

Riya abruptly stood from her seat, angrily walking toward the Ray.

"I've been by your side from the start! How could you think of me this way, Ray?! Would you rather believe that man? The son of your father's whore?!" She bellowed, uncaring of the deadly glare on Ray's face.

"Get the fuck out, Riya." He ordered in a dangerous voice.

Riya gritted her teeth, chest rising and falling from too much rage.

"You're such a fool, Ray. You've been clearly bewitched by him. I can't believe you're following your father's footsteps." She said in a mocking tone.3

"I feel bad for your mother." Riya looked at Ray with a sad smile.

"She killed herself because of a whore.. and now her son is being fooled and played by that whore's son." She continued, seeing Ray grit his teeth in controlled anger.

She backed away when the Ray stood, towering above her.

"GET THE HELL OUT!" Ray bellowed, making Riya step back.

She looked at his angry face, trying her best not to be scared as she was forced to turn on her heels.

"I'm going to sue that bitch! I won't let him get away with what he did!" She stormed out, leaving Ray still fuming in anger.

He exasperatedly slumped on his chair, feeling his head ache. He sighed, remembering Justine's face and the bruises and scratches on his skin that Ray had a glimpse earlier.

Not to mention, the pained expression on his face as he looked at him.

Ray sighed, feeling so out of focused with only a certain brunet in mind.?!" Riya bellowed as she stood, anger seeping through her veins.

She lunged forward, clawing Justine on the face, her long nails scratching him a little as he was able to back away.

"You fucking garbage!" Riya screamed hysterically, aiming to grab Justine by the hair.

However, Justine just shoved her, taking advantage of his height and strength over the woman.

He couldn't control the surge of anger as he grabbed Riya's long blonde hair, gripping hard which made the latter squeal in pain.

"Let go of me!" Riya struggled but Justine didn't let her off his grip.

"What's with your hair, bitch? It's greasy as fuck! Do you even shower?" Justine grimaced, pulling harder and harsher that made Riya cry out in pain.
