Jayceon lunged forward, aiming to seize Thiago by the collar and hurl him to the floor.

But Thiago smoothly avoided his attack.

Jayceon stumbled, missing his target.

As tensions escalated towards a confrontation, the receptionist hastily dialed the CEO's office for intervention.

The four receptionists nearby averted their gaze, steering clear of the escalating tension. They were well aware of Jayceon's close ties with the CEO and his frequent use of Ethan's private elevator. They wouldn't dare intervene in his matter.

You say you love her, but your actions? You've constantly been seen with other women. Even her move back to Shirie changed nothing. Do you really think she'd forgive you?"

"I brought those women withonly for business," Jayceon snapped back, his face red with anger. Thiago m scoffed. "Really? Business? Then why doesn't Mr. Mitchell have these kinds of 'business' gatherings?" He then glanced at Ethan, wondering why Ethan was friends with someone like Jayceon.
