Flashback ( 6 months ago)

Pooh took a deep breath and gave a cocky smile to the audience and took his mic.

" Fuck you !"

" Fuck you Mr. Pavel Phoom !"

Pavel frowned, his eyes burning with anger as he gritted his teeth. The silence of the audience after Pooh's insult only fueled his rage. 

Determined to confront Pooh, Pavel waited until the meeting ended and then followed him down the hallway, his footsteps echoing with intensity.

As they reached Pooh's office, Pavel saw that Pooh acted oblivious to his presence, continuing to walk calmly. Pavel's fury boiled over. He reached out and tapped Pooh's shoulder.

Pooh turned around slowly, a calm and indifferent expression on his face.

"Pavel," Pooh said, his voice dripping with insincere politeness. "Can I help you with something?"

Pavel's response was a low growl. "You think you can humiliate me in front of everyone and get away with it?"

Pooh smirked, a cocky smile playing on his lips. "Oh, Pavel, you need to lighten up. It's just a bit of fun."

Pavel couldn't contain himself any longer. He arched his fist back, ready to punch Pooh. But in a flash, Pooh's hand shot out and grabbed Pavel's fist in mid-air.

"Really, Pavel?" Pooh said, his voice calm but mocking. "Is this the best you've got?"

Pavel struggled to pull his fist free, but Pooh's grip was ironclad. The smirk on Pooh's face only widened.

"Let go, Pooh," Pavel spat, his voice shaking with rage. "Or you'll regret it."

"Regret it?" Pooh laughed, releasing Pavel's fist and taking a step back. "I doubt that. But if you want to settle this like children, by all means, take your best shot. Just know, you'll only embarrass yourself further."

Pavel's breathing was heavy, his fists clenched at his sides. He could feel the eyes of his colleagues starting to gather, their whispers filling the air. But he couldn't back down now.

"You don't scare me, Pooh," Pavel said, his voice steady despite the fury within him. "This isn't over."

"Oh, I'm counting on it," Pooh replied, his smile never faltering. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do."

With that, Pooh turned and walked into his office, leaving Pavel standing there, seething with unresolved anger.
