Lee Investment, representing the powerful Lees, was a ‘symbol of power and status in Lilyrose.
The Lees nearly removed Johnson, the former mayor, from office.
That was the reason why Keeve did not see the seven department heads as a threat.
Keeve believed Lee Investment could bring the whole administration down easily.
Hence why Keeve did not take Kaze seriously.
"Don't just stand there, Lee. Kneel and apologize now." With Kaze saying nothing, Miriam took it that Keeve's power scared him. She grew arrogant.
Ignoring Miriam, Kaze turned to Keeves and nodded in contemplation. "So you're Samson's nephew. That explains the arrogance.” Keeve frowned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe unsettling calmness in Kaze's eyes both offended and
discomforted Keeve.
Keeve smacked Miriam's tight ass.
"What are you doing, Mr. Hobbs? So many are watching us." Miriam squirmed in his arms, her eyes reflecting that she had the hots for him.
*I'll get to you later, slut."
Keeve smiled and pointed at Kaze. "Didn't he hit you? Now is your chance to get back at him. Go and slap him.
"Don't worry, | got you. He won't shy away when you hit him. Just smack him and let everything out." The certainty in Keeve's voice made Miriam's eyes sparkle.
She loved a domineering and confident man.
"Thank you, Mr. Hobbs. You're the best. Muah!" Getting on her tiptoes, Miriam left a lipstick mark on Keeve's face. She then tuned around and walked toward Kaze.
She waved her palm and said bossily, "I'm not in a rush to hit you, Lee. You can take the first swing.
"Weren't you cocky to attack me before? *Come on. I'm giving you a chance to hit me. | dare you to hit me again." Miriam put her face closer.
*Come on! Hit me! "Too scared? "You have no balls. You're not a man.” With Keeve having her back, Miriam had no more reservations.
She wanted to insult Kaze and hit him beyond recognition.
Only then, she would feel better.
*If you say so." Amused, Kaze slapped her twice right away.
"Smack! Smack!" Miriam recoiled back in pain. Both sides of her cheeks swelled in red.

Kaze assaulted her right in front of Keeve.
The man was asking for it.
Kaze flicked his wrist offhandedly. "Didn't you ask me to hit you? *Since you put your face in front of me to hit you, | didn't see any reason to refuse your request.
"Am | man enough now?" Kaze's tone was flat.
His composure was the perfect response to Miriam's
taunting.
Miriam challenged Kaze to hit her, calling to question his masculinity if he did not do so.
Fair enough, Kaze gave her what she wanted.
"Ah! I'm going to kill you!" Miriam covered her face and screamed hysterically. She felt like a laughingstock.
She brought it upon herself.
