DYLAN GOT INTO A FIGHT WITH BRYSON

Mason's angry shout echoed through the room as he heard Bryson's voice and the sound of the bug being destroyed. His fists clenched, he ripped off his tie in a fit of rage.

"You're on my hit list, Mia," he bellowed. "Consider yourself warned. I'll be coming for you, and next time, it won't be a warning."

Meanwhile, Bryson expressed his gratitude to Mia. "You've been a beacon of light in my darkest hour. I wouldn't have thought of that if not for you." He pulled her into a tight hug, and Mia smiled, whispering in his ear.

"I was always an exceptional student, Bryson," she said with a hint of mischief. "If you're grateful, show your appreciation with a kiss."

Bryson smiled, breaking the hug, and muttered, "Naughty girl," before kissing her passionately. They breathed heavily, smiling at each other afterward.

"Mia, you wanted to tell me something, didn't you?" Bryson asked. Mia nodded, but before she could speak, the door swung open, and a stunning young woman entered.

Mia's eyes widened in surprise as she stared at the voluptuous woman. "Sophia?" Bryson exclaimed, his tone laced with anger.

Sophia sauntered over to Bryson, embracing him tightly. Mia's jealousy flared, and she fled the office, tears welling up in her eyes.

Bryson's irritation grew as he pushed Sophia away. She steadied herself, unfazed.

"What's gotten into you, baby?" Sophia asked, her voice dripping with sweetness. "I've missed you terribly. You look more handsome than ever. I long to feel your touch again."

"Shut up, you shameless seductress!" Bryson thundered. "Have you no decency? You think a simple apology will suffice?"

Sophia's smile persisted as she stepped closer. "Baby, I've said sorry countless times. It was just one mistake, and I was drugged. I love you, and I'd never hurt you again."

Bryson's anger intensified. "A one-night stand? You call betraying me and stealing company documents just mistakes?" His intimidating aura filled the office.

Sophia pleaded, tears streaming down her face. "Baby, I swear I was drugged when I did that. It was all a mistake."

Bryson's expression remained unyielding. "Leave my office now and never cross my path again, you deceitful woman. You're nothing but a relic of my past."

Sophia's anger flared. "How could you do this to me, Bryson? Do you even love me? And who was that woman in your office?"

Bryson's voice rose. "I loved you when I was blind, but now I see you for who you truly are. Your presence disgusts me. You've lost the right to question me."

Sophia persisted, despite Bryson's clear disdain. "I love you, Bryson, and I won't give up. You're the love of my life, and I'll return when your anger subsides."

Bryson's anger boiled over. "Leave, Sophia. Don't ever come back."

As Sophia departed, Bryson's emotions simmered. He stepped outside, finding Mia alone, basking in the cool breeze.

"Mia," he called softly, approaching her.

Mia didn't respond. Bryson sat beside her, taking her hands.

"Mia, I'm sorry. That was my ex. I had no idea she'd return to the States. You're the only one for me, baby."

Mia's tears flowed as she hugged Bryson. "I love you, Bryson. The thought of losing you terrifies me."

Bryson soothed her. "My jealous girlfriend." He kissed her, and they shared a laugh.

As they returned to the office, Sophia seethed in her bed, anger and despair consuming her. "Mason, you ruined me. I won't lose Bryson without a fight."

Later, as Bryson and Mia left work, they encountered Dylan, Mia's ex. Bryson's anger flared, and he punched Dylan.

Mia intervened, alarmed. "Baby, are you okay?"

Dylan sneered. "So, you're dating now?"
Mia ignored him as she only cared about Bryson. Dylan became infuriated and tried hitting Bryson again but he retaliated.
The situation escalated into a fierce brawl. Mia tried to intervene, but Bryson unintentionally struck her, and she fell unconscious.

Bryson's rage shifted to despair. "You idiot, look what you've done!"

Dylan retaliated, "You punched her, you fool! If anything happens to Mia, I'll kill you."

Bryson countered, "She's no longer your concern, psychopath."

As Bryson rushed Mia to the hospital, Dylan's anguish grew. "Mia, why? Do you even love me?"

Mia was admitted, and Bryson's anxiety mounted. "That scoundrel! Mia, please forgive me, wake up for me," he whispered, his eyes welling up with tears.
