We’ll see about that.” Reese balled up her fists and charged, her presence fierce, Isaac was taken aback.
Was this really about to go down?
She had to be nuts. With her tiny frame, she thought she could take him on? She must have a death wish.
But as Reese got closer, Isase saw a deadly glint in her eyes, and a chill ran down his spine. Even he couldn’t figure out why he felt that way
She was just a young, clueless girl, yet she had the nerve to challenge him.
Tuc shook off his brief moment of fear, grabbed Reese’s fist, and was ready to slam her to the ground. The crowd around them gasped.
As Isaac flung Reese, she locked eyes with him, a smug grin on her face. Before he could react, the was already on his shoulders, landing a solid punch to his face. The pain was intense. Isaac grabbed her hand and tossed her off, but she landed on her feet.
Isaac touched his wollen face, his anger twisting his features

Malcolm gave Justin a light slap upside the head. “Why didn’t you help Mrs. Flynn first,

When Justin hustled Malcolm to the scene, they found Reese pinning Isaac to the ground, choking him so hard he couldn’t move.
Justin was stunned. “What the…
Was this for real? Herse could fight? She could even take down someone like Isaac?
The other employees, seeing Malcolm arrive, quickly stepped
“It’s over, Both Tsaac and Heese are in deep trouble now. Mr. Flynn can’t stand troublemakers, especially ones who wreck the cafeteria.”

What other secrets does she have that I don’t know about?
He stated, “Reese, let him go.“
Keese tuned to look at Malcolm and started to speak. “Mr. Flynn, “
She almost called him something else, maybe because Malenim hail earned her respect when he helped her.
Tac, lying on the ground all bruised and battered, angrily shouted at Reese.
“Did you hear that? Mr. Flynn told you to let me go!”
Only then did Reese release Isaac, who quickly scrambled over to Malcolm.
“Mr. Flynn, this crazy woman, she…
Isaac’s voice trailed off as he saw the cold, dark glint in Malcolm’s eyes, making him shrink back and speak more softly.
“She hit me.”
“Isaac, I’ve heard from colleagues that you’re a bully and a troublemaker. Do you think the cafeteria belongs to you?”
Malcolm’s voice was icy and stern, his brows furrowed, and the invisible pressure made Isaac break out in a cold sweat.
I… Mr. Flynn, they’re just exaggerating. It was this woman who hit me first.
“So you think it’s okay to bully female colleagues?”
Malcolm’s gaze was sharp, his features hard and unyielding, sitting ti
there against the light like an inviolable deity.
Isaac was at a loss for words, feeling like the point they focused on was quite different. He was talking about the crazy woman hitting him, but Malcolm not only didn’t stand up for him but also held him accountable for bullying female colleagues.
“Given that you usually bully colleagues, are unreasonable, and cause trouble in the company, you are demoted to a regular employee. If I hear about you bullying colleagues, especially female colleagues, again, you can submit your resignation.”
Isaac was stunned on the spot. “Mr. Flynn, L…”
“Everyone, clear out. Isaac, clean up this mess. I’ll have someone check it before the end of the day.”
The other colleagues couldn’t help but praise Malcolm’s actions, finally getting rid of a major troublemaker. They had thought about reporting Isaac directly to Malcolm before, but Isaac always found out and threatened them.
Isaac had warned them that if they dared to speak up in front of Malcolm, he’d have his people get them fired.
Nowadays, finding a job outside isn’t easy, and the Flynn Group offers some of the best benefits around.
None of them wanted to leave, so they endured until now. No one expected that Isaac would be dealt with by the new girl, Reese, and a woman at that.
After everyone dispersed, Malcolm called Reese to his office. When she entered, she hung her head, her small hands fidgeting in front of her, looking like a schoolgirl who had done something wrong. It was actually kind of cute.
Malcolm looked at her helplessly, wheeling himself forward, his voice soft, no longer as cold and hard as usual.
“Just started and already causing trouble. Did you assume I’d clean up after you?“
When he heard from Justin that Isaac was fighting with her, his heart inexplicably tightened. It was a feeling he hadn’t experienced in over twenty years, yet it felt so real.
When would have thought that when he arrived at the cafeteria, he would see Isaac being completely overpowered by her?
At that moment, his heart settled and he even felt like laughing. What was Reese’s deal? She looked so frail, yet she dared to take on someone as burly as Isaac.
