Chapter 1160: Chapter 1160: Fighting
Justin Battleson’s direct dismissal of two employees had already spread throughout the entire company.
In the end, they also knew the reasons why, so there was no one in the company who dared to discuss Charlotte Thompson and Elijah Walker’s affair anymore.
It was just that, although Charlotte had Justin’s protection, things were not going well for Elijah.
The failure of the project, coupled with the office gossip, made him instantly the most isolated person in the entire design department.
"Oops, my apologies, Elijah, the great designer."
Elijah had been working on his documents in his own spot when someone passing by deliberately knocked over his coffee, drenching all the design drafts and documents beside him.
Elijah frowned in displeasure.
"Elijah, the great designer, have I made you angry?"
The tone of the person provoking Elijah was laced with unmistakable sarcasm, "You’re not going to hit me, are you? Or are you going to find someone to get me fired?"
Looking at the face in front of him that desperately needed a punch, Elijah took a deep breath and then made the move he most wanted to make right now.
He threw a punch directly.
The smile on the man’s face was scattered in an instant.
Everyone in the design department was enjoying the spectacle, but no one expected that Elijah, who had been quietly enduring, would actually lash out at this time.
Instantly, the design department became chaotic.
"Since you’re asking for it, why should I be polite? And do you have any idea how important these documents are? You’ve ruined them, and when the blame comes down from above, what will you offer as compensation?"
Elijah had already thought of his justification before taking a swing, pointing to the papers and drafts on his desk that had been ruined.
He wasn’t lying; those drafts were indeed important and needed to be submitted shortly, but now they had been deliberately destroyed.
"Have you lost your mind, Elijah? How dare you hit me!"
The man’s collar was grasped by Elijah, and although he was spouting threats, his gaze toward Elijah was now tinged with fear.
However, Elijah only took that one punch to let off steam; the rest of his posture was just to scare the man and he had no intention of continuing the fight.
After all, making a scene in the office wouldn’t benefit him at all.
He merely wanted to serve as a warning to the man before him and to everyone else.
He was never an easy target.
Elijah let go calmly, then picked up the stack of drafts from his desk and slapped them on the man’s chest.
"Since you’re the one who dirtied these, it’s up to you to fix them."
"Why should I? The documents aren’t even my responsibility!" the man immediately retorted.
"Because the coffee was deliberately spilled by you, it has nothing to do with me. You’re the one responsible," Elijah said calmly as he took off his glasses and wiped them with a tissue from aside.
Seeing the man about to say something else, Elijah simply raised his hand toward the surveillance camera.
"The evidence is all there; if you want to..."
However, before Elijah could finish his sentence, a reprimand came from the office doorway.
"What are you all doing here during working hours?"
People turned their heads and saw George Robbins standing at the entrance, not sure when he had arrived there, but his expression seemed to have seen everything that had just transpired.
The man quickly covered his face, beginning to play the victim: "Mr. Robbins, you must give me some justice here, Elijah actually hit someone!"
