Chapter 277 Gossip on the 32nd Floor
Yan Kui finished her ice cream in a few bites, grabbed a tissue from the nearby tea room to wipe her lips, and then stood next to the printer with the other two.
Under the blazing sun, the curtains on the upper floors of the office building were mostly drawn, blocking out most of the sunlight.
Two men and a woman stood by the window, the atmosphere somewhat tense.
There are only a few employees scattered around the 32nd floor now, and those who have noticed something is wrong are just sitting at their workstations and secretly watching.
Only interns would run around like that, delivering documents for others. So, the three of them pretending to be holding documents and standing nearby didn't seem out of place.
One of the boys, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, suddenly spoke to the girl opposite him, his tone as if he was barely suppressing his anger: "What did you do last night?"
The girl seemed to sense the stares of those around her, and with a somber expression, she tried to persuade him, "Can't we talk about this after get off work? It's during working hours now, and I'm very busy..."
I don't know what word in those sentences offended the boy, but his voice suddenly rose: "You're very busy, aren't you? So you were busy with him all night last night?!"
Those around gasped in shock.
This topic is too explosive.
The man in the tie next to him got a little impatient and slammed the documents in his hand onto the table: "Don't spread rumors here, we were working overtime last night!"
"Also, since you're not part of our department, please leave!"
Enraged by the way the man in the shirt threw things, he grabbed the girl next to him, the movement so forceful that it seemed to pull on a stray hair at the back of her neck, causing her to cry out in pain.
The man in the shirt ignored him and said, "Explain yourself. What kind of shift requires you to work all night? Are you saying only the two of you are working overtime, and no one else is?"
Tears welled in the woman's eyes, dangling from her eyelashes. The pain made her disregard everything else, and she began to explain in a broken voice, "There are three people in our team. Lin Ge, Xiao Jia, and I have been in a video conference because we're dealing with overseas sales, which involves a time difference. That's why I stayed at the company all night! Let me go!"
"Then why didn't you reply to my messages?! Don't try to fool me!"
"ah!"
The man shook her violently, causing the desk next to them to slam shut with a sharp, screeching sound.
The girl cried out in pain when he suddenly pulled out a small clump of her hair.
Yan Kui felt uncomfortable watching this, and the two girls next to her were also grimacing as they watched the scene.
The pain screamed, and the girl's face contorted with throbbing veins: "We've already broken up! Why should I reply to your messages! If you don't let go, I'm calling security!"
"Go ahead and yell! Don't forget I'm a company employee too!" the man persisted, acting as if he wasn't afraid of anyone, not even the King of Heaven himself.
A woman wearing black-rimmed glasses suddenly walked out of the office behind them. Looking at the situation, she frowned and said seriously, "This is a company. Please talk to me after get off work."
"Since you are a company employee, you should abide by the rules. Please let her go."
The girl, whose hand was being held, tried her best to pry the man's hand off, but the difference in their strength was too great. Her fingertips were red, leaving red marks on the back of his hand, but she couldn't make him loosen his grip even an inch.
The man in the shirt ripped his employee ID card off his chest with one hand and threw it at the feet of the woman with black-rimmed glasses, angrily saying, "Take it! I'm going to get to the bottom of this!"
The two girls next to Yan Kui seemed very nervous. One of them suddenly whispered, "Should we go and stop them?"
The girl being pulled started crying, tears streaming down her face, her voice choked with sobs: "I told you, I was just working, and we've already broken up..."
The man in the shirt acted as if he couldn't hear, dragging the person toward another man as if he were dragging some insignificant object, not a person with thoughts and dignity.
Yan Kui was thinking.
There were nearly twenty small green plants piled up next to her by the window. She was about five meters away from the man, and there was a large round desk next to her, which was suitable for a tug-of-war.
There were one or two other people nearby, calling the front desk to call security.
A crisp, loud sound of glass shattering rang out.
"ah!!"
The man was knocked back several steps by the small pothos plant in the glass basin. He felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and instinctively released his grip on the woman.
