When he saw Olivia's swollen face, he shot me a cold look.
"Apologize to Olivia!"
I lifted my chin and stared back at him.
"You just believe whatever she says, don't you?"
Olivia clung to Thomas's arm, playing the victim.
"Thomas, let it go. She's in a bad mood. I won't hold it against her."
But Thomas, with a stern face, repeated.
"I told you to apologize!"
"What if I don't?"
"With one word from me, your company will forever lose the chance to cooperate with the Field Group!"
This threat was making things difficult for me.
After all, it had something to do with the company.
"But do I really have to swallow my anger?"
I hesitated for only three seconds.
Then I stepped forward and slapped Olivia's face.
"Smack!"
The sound of the slap resounded through the corridor in an instant.
"I slapped him. I admit it."
"As for who slapped her before, you know very well!"
I turned to Olivia.
"Hope your acting can always be as brilliant as it is today."
……
A few days later, the bidding for Hundred City's new project came to an end.
As expected, Astion Building Materials, where Olivia worked, won the bid.
