"How fucking dare you?! "

Hueningkai's eyes were burning with rage as his hand gripped tightly onto Siwon's arm, his knuckles white. Siwon let out a whimper of pain, but Hueningkai seemed lost to everything. It took Mr. Choi, Suyeong and me to pry him off of her.

"Hueningkai calm down and actually explain what happened. "

"There's nothing to explain, it's just lies he's believing in. "

I had a small idea on what happened as Bora looked mad and smug at the same time. But apparently, Siwon still held on to her snooty ways.

And that was Hueningkai's breaking point as he whirled at her and screamed.

"LIES?! IT WAS LIES?! Excuse me, but we are not like you, you lying, manipulator! You go around plagiarizing and stealing other people's honest hardwork and yet possess the absolute audacity to call them liars?! I would drag you to court for that one if I could! "

"Hueningkai, I understand your rage, but you need to calm down and tell me the details, so I can take the appropriate action necessary. "

Mr. Choi simultaneously managed to calm down the enraged man, while the edge in the last part managed to put the fear of God in Siwon.

Bora immediately swooped in at first chance, detailing out how we had sort of worked together and seen each other's designs and then seeing the identical designs presented by Siwon. She also pointed out how she had seen Siwon visit my cubicle two days ago.

"Stealing, hmm..? Interesting choice, Ms. Cha. So you admit Ms. Chae Ahrin here works better than you? "

"WHAT?! "

The shriek sounded like a banshee screaming. Siwon looked like she might claw off her skin and eyes before admitting something like that. But Mr. Choi hardly seemed to be done.

"No..? Well it sure seems like it. Why would a person steal other's work to present it as their own? Must be because they think that their own work will not bring same results. So you see, you indirectly just admitted that Ms. Chae is a better designer than you. Congratulations for that, this might be the breakthrough on your road to achieving maturity! "

"I want retribution! She must be held accountable. "

Hueningkai declared with all the vengeance in his tone, his eyes narrowed down on the now miffed-looking woman.

"And she will. You should know better than anyone else how your uncle Mr. Park works, Ms. Cha Siwon. Do you seriously think he would protect you? For something so vicious? "

"I— you all are being biased towards her! What has she done to make you all act like guard dogs fawning over her?!"

Cha Siwon had turned pink with rage, screeching and yowling like an enraged cat, in face of Mr. Choi's icy demeanor.

"Let's go have a chat with your dear uncle. Let's see how he deals with your act of sabotage! Then you can't even claim us to be harbouring a bias. "

With that the last remnants of any colour was washed out of her face. Hueningkai's stormy face was just calmed a midget, Bora and Suyeong sported similar smirks, while Mr. Choi was looking the part of ice statue, all cold and calculative.

"Uhm... Can we just.. Please drop this? "

As soon as the words came out, four faces whirled to face me with varying degrees of shock. Then the dam broke.

"Whatever in the name of all that's holy do you mean?! "

"Are you out of your goddamn mind?! You'll let her go?! "
