She wanted to douse Yorick with another ss of water, only to find the ss was empty.


    With a loud bang, she mmed it on the desk and stood up, "Wait here for a sec."


    Leaving those words behind, Ste strode confidently towards the office door.


    Yorick watched her leave, frowning, puzzled about what she was up to, but he decided to wait as she had asked.


    He was curious to see what kind of exnation she woulde up with. Yeah, that was what Yorick thought.


    He figured his words had been too sharp, too aggressive, and Ste needed a moment to cool off.


    After taking a breather, she woulde back with a reasonable exnation.


    ...


    As Ste emerged from the office, Tabitha approached her respectfully, "Boss."


    Ste headed straight for the restroom, grabbing the mop bucketmonly used by the janitors. The bucket was still full of dirty water, and Ste carried it towards the office.


    Seeing this, Tabitha hurriedly offered to help, "Boss, what do you need the bucket for? Let me carry it for you. That water was just used by the janitor to clean the toilets; it wasn''t meant for hands." "No need, keep doing your thing."


    From the tone of her boss'' voice, it seemed like the situation was not great.


    Knowing that Yorick was in the office, Tabitha had a pretty good idea of what Ste intended to do with that bucket of water.


    ...


    In the office.


    Yorick saw Ste enter so quickly, "Cooled off already?"


    As soon as he finished, he noticed the bucket in her hands. A bad feeling washed over him.


    The next moment, with a ssh, he was drenched, cold water making him shiver.


    With a loud thud, Ste mmed the bucket onto the floor.


    Yorick roared in anger, "Ste!"


    This damn woman!


    Now, he was soaking wet, water dripping from his hair, making it hard for him to even keep his eyes open.


    And what was that smell? It was awful.


    Yorick furiously wiped his face, ring at Ste with pure rage.


    Ste crossed her arms, "Feeling awake now? Anything else you don''t understand?"


    Yorick red back at her furiously.


    If looks could kill, Yorick would have devoured her right then and there.


    Seeing Yorick too angry to speak, Ste repeated, "Anything else you don''t get? Next time, it won''t just be


    cold water; it''ll be ove


    Questioning her like this? If she didn''t show these people a lesson, would they really think Ste was a pushover?


    Yorick was left speechless, never


    having been treated this way before. From his childhood, partly due to the influence of the Quarry family, andter as he took over the Quarry Group, wasn''t everyone respectful towards him?


    This woman...


    "I''ll see your studio shut down!"


    Yorick roared as he stood up. His whole demeanor exuded intimidation, trying to pressure Ste.


    But Ste remained unfazed, "We''ll see if you can actually do that."


    Intimidation met with defiance!


    Yorick''s eyes could have sparked mes, but facing Ste''s fearlessness, his fire seemed to be dousedpletely. "I''ll get you for this!"


    With those parting words, Yorick stormed out, full of rage.


    Behind him, Ste''s disdainful ''tsk''


    sound made his departure even colder, intensifying his resolve to not


    rest until he had brought her down.
