A Man Like None Other

“Thank you for your wise advice, Mr. Jennings. However, I can be stubborn at times.” Kai grinned from ear to ear.

Xavier merely flashed a smile and kept mum. He assumed that Kai would get beaten up later. Right, you'll see what comes next!

Although he was utterly dissatisfied, Zayne had no choice but to let Kai keep his seat. He then helplessly sat down on the other side of Xavier. Maria, on the other hand, sat down next to Zayne. Maria was so angry that she was staring fiercely at Kai. If you weren't here, I'd be sitting there now. Then we could butter Mr. Jennings up so that Zayne could be the manager of the procurement department. I can then be promoted to the manager of the sales department! I shouldn't have brought you into the company. You're such a nuisance!

“Kai, if it weren't for Mr. Jennings, do you think you can work here? Do you think you can ever afford to dine here? Mark my words, this is the first and last time you'll ever get to dine in at Vintage Restaurant. You're a piece of rubbish!” Zayne mocked with resentment written all over his face.

In Zayne's eyes, it was a good opportunity to show his support for Xavier by taking his side.

Slap!

But as soon as Zayne completed his sentence, a tight slap landed on his face.

Everyone gaped in astonishment.

While everyone was staring at Zayne, Zayne's bewildered eyes were glued onto Kai. He didn't expect that Kai would dare to lay hands on him.

Sat in between the two of them, Xavier furrowed his brows. How dare you do that in front of me? Kai's actions showed that he didn't have an ounce of respect for him.

“This is to teach you a lesson. The only reason I haven't beaten you up yet is for the sake of Mr. Saunders. But if you disrespect me one more time, I will definitely not hold back.” Kai glared at Zayne with murderous intent.

Kai's glare was so intimidating that it sent shivers down Zayne's spine.

“Kai, have you gone crazy? Why did you hit Zayne?” Maria thundered.

"How dare you hit Mr. Carlson? Do you really want to lose your job, Kai?"

"You've gone over the line! You're just a salesperson! How dare you assault the manager of the sales department? You deserve to get fired.”

Everyone in the room spoke in Zayne's defense.

“Kai, you better kneel before Mr. Carlson and beg for mercy. Otherwise, you'll get fired for sure!” Lydia added while pointing her finger at Kai.

“Kai, why did you do that?” Hilda didn't know what else to say because she never thought that Kai was capable of such an act.

“Fire me?” Kai grinned. “How could he fire me when Mr. Jennings is here? He's not qualified!”

“Kai, I swear I'll kill you for this!” After he took a moment to compose himself, Zayne yelled in anger. Regardless of how intimidated he was, he had no choice but to stand up for himself. Otherwise, he'd lose the respect the others had for him.

Slap!

After Zayne's taunt, he was getting up to have a go at Kai. Unfortunately for him, he was stopped in his tracks by another slap on his face.

Kai was just too fast for Zayne to handle. He couldn't get out of Kai's way.

But as Kai was giving Zayne a slap, his eyes were fixed on Xavier with contempt.

Despite that, a grim expression remained on Xavier's face.

Having gotten slapped twice, Zayne was blazing with anger. He shouted, “Kai, I'll..."
