The area was crowded, and by now, plenty of bystanders had stopped to watch the scene
Emily hadn’t come alone. A few rough–looking men trailed behind her, most likely people she had brought as backup.
Enrica frowned, confused. As far as she knew, Colin and Emily weren’t particularly close at work.
The only time she had seen them interact was when Emily had lett Colin’s office with red–rimmed eyes.
At the time, Enrica had assumed it was just another case of an office crash ending in rejection. But seeing Emily now, storming in like a scored lover catching her man cheating
Could there have been more to their relationship than she had thought?
Colin’s expression darkened the moment he saw Emily. He immediately rushed forward, grabbing her wrist and yanking the brick from her band before tossing it
“What the hell are you doing? I already told you that I’m not interested in you. Stay the hell away from me!”
Emily’s eyes were bloodshot as she wiped away her tears. “Colin, you bastard! How could you do this to me? Do you remember what you said when you were chasing me?
“you swore you’d love me forever! Now that you’ve set your sights on Enrica, suddenly none of that matters anymore, huh?”
Colin looked like he wanted to clap a hand over her mouth. “Not here. We can talk about this later, past go home for now!”
Emily let out a sharp, bitter laugh. Then her voice turned shrill. “What’s wrong? Afraid I’ll expose your true colors in front of Enrica? Afraid she’ll dump you?
“Why didn’t you think about this when you sweet–talked me into bed? Why didn’t you think about this when you made me get an abortion?
“Encica, do you see him now? This is the man you’re so interested in! A lying, spineless piece of shit!TM
Colin’s face paled. He tumed to Enrica, his voice urgent. “Enrica, listen to me. It’s not what she’s making it sound like
But Enrica just stared at them, utterly baffled.
“I think you’ve misunderstood something. Nothing is going on between Mr. Boum and me
”
she said slowly, turning to Emily.
Emily let out a harsh scott. “Misunderstood? You two have been making eyes at each other in the office for months! Do you think I’m blind? colin, do you think you can just throw me away? After everything?
“I stayed with you through everything! I got rid of our baby for you! I ruined my life for you! And now, just like that, do you think you can dump me? Screw you!”
She swung bean and shouted, “Get them!”
The men she had brought didn’t hesitate. They surged forward, ready to wreck the place.
Zack and Rachel tried to stop them, but there was no way the two of them could hold off several guys at once.
In an instant, the table was overturned
Skewers, beer, and dishes went flying. Zack, Rachel, and Colin were immediately caught in a brawl, fists swinging
Meanwhile, Enrica scrambled to dodge the lacks and punches flying in every direction. She red to pull Zack and Rachel out of the fight, but it was nouse,
call the police?
If she did, she, Colin, and Emily would all lose their jobs.
Her mind raced, she had no idea who else to tum.to.
After a split second of hesitation, she grabbed her phone and called Zayne. “Zayne, can you come over? We’re in some trouble.
On the other end, Zayne had been lying in bed. But the second he heard her voice, he sat up, already pulling on his clothes,
“Got it. I’m on my way. What’s happening? Do I need to bring people?
Enrica was just about to answer, but a heavy metal chair slammed into her back.
she cried out in agony. “Ahh!”
Her phone slipped from her fingers and crashed to the ground.
On the other end of the line, Zayne’s heart clenched “Enrica? Encica! Are you okay? Talk to me, Enrica!”
No response. His expression darkened as he imenediately called Matthew. “Bring some men. Now.”
Back at the scene, Ennca was on the ground, gasping through the pain.
Zack and Rachel beard her scream and immediately abandoned their fight, rushing to her side.
“Enrica! Are you okay?” Their voices were panicked.
Borica gritted her teeth and shook her head. “I’m for…”
