I reached for my phone to call the police, but the man snatched it from my hand and smashed it onto the pavement, stomping on it for good measure. "Call the cops? You really think the police will believe a nobody like you over me?"
The commotion had started blocking traffic, and soon a crowd began to gather. Instead of stepping in, they whispered among themselves.
"Hey, dude, it’s not worth the trouble," one bystander said. "Your car is already old. It's not worth much money."
"Yeah," another chimed in. "Besides, look at the road, it's jammed now. Just pay him off, so we can all move on."
"Exactly. He’s driving a Porsche, and you’re in that old thing. You’ll never win. Just consider it a lesson learned."
Their words only fueled the man’s arrogance, and he smirked, looking like he had me cornered. What he didn’t expect was that one of the drivers stuck in traffic happened to be one of my employees, who called the police in my stead.
Noticing it, the man was in a fury and about to scold my employee when his phone suddenly rang.
