The man next to Greyson spoke carefully in a lowered voice, explaining briefly about Malcolm.

"Isn't this disgusting? Hasn't anyone tried to report this Malcolm?" Greyson commented then picked up the glass and drained the contents. His voice was rather loud when he said that.

The man became frightened. He glanced at Malcolm briefly then said again, "Keep your voice down. He can hear."

"Report to where? Didn't it say that the HR manager is his uncle?" This time it was the other man who spoke. He said it in a half-whispered voice.

"Then, report it to the HR director." Greyson came up with another solution. "Report hid uncle and nephew as well."

Suddenly, the cafeteria became even quieter. Before, there were still whispers and the sound of clashing cutlery. No one dared to comment on Malcolm openly. This time it became completely quiet after Greyson said that.

The four men and one woman sitting at the table with Greyson immediately turned pale when someone walked over.

"I heard someone was about to report me to the director. Who dares to say that?" Malcolm looked like a mountain looming over those currently sitting around the table. His eyes were fixed on Greyson who wasn't even looking at Malcolm at all.

No one answered. But the gazes of five pairs of eyes were fixed on Greyson.

"Hey, you. Are you deaf? Is that you talking?" Malcolm threw the question directly at Greyson this time. Greyson's indifference made him even angrier.

Again there was no response.

His table mates took pity on Greyson. This man had only been working for two days and had to stumble into trouble with Malcolm. Maybe he wouldn't work until tomorrow.

"Do you really have a hearing problem? You want me to point out the real problem?" Malcolm clenched his fist, ready to throw it at Greyson's face.

"Violence is not allowed in the company. In addition to the threat of expulsion, you'll also face criminal charges." Greyson said calmly. He didn't seem worried at all. Not because he had the ability to deal with Malcolm's violent actions. But more because he had been bullied many times before. His face had been battered a few times and he thought it didn't really hurt anymore.

Wouldn't it be great if he had proof of abuse?

Malcolm's fist stopped in mid-air. His hands seemed to be trembling with anger. This man was very brave to speak. But the truth is that what this man said is not wrong. Maybe beating someone up would satisfy his heart, but if the police really intervened, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to get away with it.

There are too many witnesses.

Malcolm suddenly smiled wickedly. He retracted his fist.

"Ah, who would act violently? I was just joking." Malcolm patted Greyson's shoulder casually. It seemed like a familiar friend. "What's your name, buddy? I like your courage. Not like the others who are cowards."

"Greyson...."

"Good name." Malcolm praised perfunctorily even before the name was finished.

"...Hayes." Greyson lowered his voice until it was barely audible. He wasn't sure the assistant manager would recognize him as the new Hayes CEO. He didn't care either.

"So, my friend Greyson, are you really going to report me to the director?" asked Malcolm with a chuckle.

Greyson glanced at his five desk mates before rising from his seat. "Of course. I'm a good friend. I'll straighten out a crooked friend's path. Perhaps the director can teach you some valuable lessons."

There were stifled exclamations. Some couldn't believe it. This man was not grateful at all to have been saved. He had almost lost his handsome face. But still stubbornly wanted to report Malcolm. Isn't this called being a real fool?

Malcolm's smile immediately stopped. His face slowly darkened.

"Are you sure?"

Greyson nodded confidently. "Maybe I should just report it to the manager? No need to bother the director."

Malcolm laughed out loud at that. "Don't you know who our HR manager is?"

"I haven't met him yet. But I heard he has a dumb nephew." Greyson laughed amusedly after saying that.

"You... You...!" Malcolm pointed at Greyson's face with a trembling hand.  He felt like killing someone.

"Don't point like that. It's not polite at all." Greyson reminded. "Not to worry, I'll speak fairly."

Afterward, Greyson passed by Malcolm who had transformed into a volcano. People could see that the assistant manager was about to explode at any moment.

Just a few steps into the walk, Malcolm's cry was heard. "Stop!"

No, this was going to be a bloody scene! Some people looked up.

Others were distancing themselves, getting as far away from the source of the explosion as possible.

Harlan had been incessantly praying for Greyson's safety. After all, the target had been turned on the man.

Most of the people no longer wanted to eat lunch. They were scared but also curious. No one had been brave enough to challenge Malcolm openly. They denounced and cursed behind his back, but shriveled up like poor rats when confronted.

So, no one left. Everyone was waiting for this exciting spectacle.

Greyson stopped his steps and turned around. "You have something else to say?"

"Do you think the manager or director will believe you? Even if you reported it to the CEO himself, it would be useless." Malcolm's face became extremely hideous. He stepped closer to Greyson.

"You think so? How about we see whose word will be believed first?" Greyson ignored Malcolm's anger. He resumed his steps towards the HR office.
