"I bet Diamond stood around naked with him. What can that bimbo do anyway? She acts like she is some kind of smartass! I bet she pouted her ass every day for our CEO to fuck, HAHAHA!"

Chloe clenched her fist, she might not have many friends, but she already considered Diamond her good friend, her homegirl— as what Diamond usually said to refer to Chloe.

She would never allow someone to talk shit about her homegirl, so she gathered courage and raised her voice, "T—Take that back!"

The two men stopped laughing and turned their heads at the petite lady. They raised their brows and taunted her, "What did you say again? I didn't catch it, sorry."

"I said, take that back!" Chloe yelled. Since she had raised her voice, she gained even more courage. "Diamond— she is a competent secretary! She has a lot of workloads every day and definitely has no time to hit on a random woman like you two jackasses!"

The two men were provoked when Chloe called them jackasses. They thought this woman was gentle and shy, their type, because this kind of woman rarely fights back.

"Well, do you know my position here? I might not be a CEO, but my position is important enough to be your senior, so you better be careful," one of the men stretched his arm, wanting to grab Chloe's arm to yank her in, and Chloe screamed before he could touch her;

"DON'T TOUCH ME!"

He was so hungry he could eat an elephant now. He checked his watch and realized he had waited 20 minutes for his sister-in-law to come in with his lunch.

He knew it was childish and shameful to demand food, but he was hungry. His stomach started grumbling nonstop.

"Fuck, what took her so long?!" Vernon got up from the chair as he got impatient. He was ready to scold Chloe for taking too long to reheat his lunch. He slammed the door open, alerting all the staff who was busy working.

They looked at their CEO, and their body tensed immediately. Because Mr. Phoenix Gray's hawk-like eyes glared at everyone around. They felt the air thin as it was difficult to breathe under such intimidation. At this point, even a drop of pencil would be heard within the whole floor.

While everyone was silent, a shriek followed by a woman yelling from the pantry;

"DON'T TOUCH ME!"

Vernon's eyes darkened, and his pupils thinned once he heard the familiar voice of a woman coming from the pantry. He rushed to the pantry to see what was happening.

There, he saw his sister-in-law getting cornered by two men— whom he recognized as his staff.

The male staff was stunned when Chloe suddenly screamed. He hadn't even touched her yet!

He gritted his teeth as he lost his patience with this woman, "You're seriously pissing me off. Do you want to get fired on your first day!? I can do that if I want to!"

"Who's getting fired?"

The two male staff heard the deep, threatening voice behind them. They turned around in unison and saw their CEO, Vernon Phoenix Gray standing tall. His gaze was already intimidating enough, but the male staff felt they were facing the real devil this time.

Vernon didn't really know the real story behind this, but when he saw his sister-in-law getting cornered and trembled in fear, his veins popped, and he grabbed the two men's necks in less than a second.

"ACK!"

"UCK!"

Vernon's movement was so fast that the two male staff had no time to react. They couldn't breathe because Vernon actually strangled them without mercy. They tried to break free by flailing around, and Vernon found these two to be troublesome.

He lifted both of them until their feet didn't touch the ground. They were at Mr. Phoenix Gray's mercy at this point.

"Ack… Ack…"

"Uck… Uck…"

"You two are brave enough to target another woman, huh?" Vernon taunted. He could hear a commotion behind him. At this point, all the staff on this floor must have gathered near the pantry to see what was happening.

Vernon gave Chloe another glance, and he squeezed his grip around their hands until their body twitched unnaturally.

He turned around and showed the two men to the other staff. They watched in horror as the two grown adults got strangled while their body lifted by their CEO, Vernon Phoenix Gray.

"Listen, everyone, I don't care whatever you're doing in the office. But I won't tolerate slacking off. Look at these two bastards trying to hit on my second secretary," Vernon said as he looked over his shoulder to check on his sister-in-law again. When he saw her pale face, his jaw clenched, and he slammed the two men to the floor.

"ARGH!"

"URGH!"

The two male staff felt so much pain in their back that they thought Mr. Phoenix Gray had broken their ribs and backbone.

Vernon kicked them in the gut and said, "You two are fired."

The two male staff were shocked. They looked at their CEO while holding the pain in their body, "B—Boss, w—we're division supervisor! Y—You can't just fire us like that!"

"Who said that I can't?" Vernon chuckled. He kicked them in the chest until their painful scream echoed in the office. "I am the boss here, remember?"

"W—We can sue you for attacking us! Your reputation will be ruined if people know about this!"

Chloe finally snapped out of her daze once she heard the two male staff would sue Vernon for attacking them. She was scared before, but there was no way in hell she would bring a problem to Vernon.

He was busy with his life, and she didn't want to be an obstacle to his successful career.

Thus, Chloe gently tapped Vernon's arm with her trembling hand. She wanted to stop Vernon from ruining his career just for a woman like her;

"V—Vernon, I… I am okay. Let them go."
