After the divorce, he begged

Jeffrey ignored him and walked past, heading outside.

Gregory didn’t try to stop him. Instead, turning to glare at Jeffrey’s back, he threatened, “If you so much as go for a run, I’ll call Ms. Jensen myself and let her know just how reckless you’ve been with your health since the divorce,”

Jeffrey stopped in his tracks.

Gregory broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew threatening Mr. Hanson was playing with fire, but if he didn’t do it, Jeffrey would probably run himself into the ground one of these days.

“Got a lot of free time on your hands?” Jeffrey’s expression was unreadable.

“Yes,” Gregory replied, maintaining his professional calm, though his heart was practically pounding out of his chest. “You’ve finished all my tasks yourself. I’ve had nothing to do lately.”

Jeffrey didn’t lose any of his intimidating vibe. “Alright.”

Gregory grew even more uneasy.

‘What does he mean by that?‘ Gregory wondered.

“The company doesn’t pay people to sit around doing nothing,” Jeffrey said, keeping his slow and intimidating tone. “Since you’re so free, go help those guys fix up the mess you all made. I’ll come check it when the break is over.”

“Wait, isn’t that supposed to be their problem?” Gregory blurted out, really didn’t see that coming at all.

“You didn’t keep an eye on them, so that comes back on you too,” Jeffrey replied.

Gregory could only stare, speechless.

Gregory said, “Guess I’m not so free after all.”

Jeffrey’s gaze never softened, still radiating that overwhelming pressure. “Even if you’re swamped, keep a close – but discreet–watch on things. Stephen’s been making lots of moves recently. Don’t let him get away with anything.”

“Got it,” Gregory replied, though it was clear he was forcing himself.

Jeffrey just grunted and turned away.

Just before Jeffrey could start running, Gregory brought his phone to his ear, all business, and said, “Hello, Ms. Jensen.”

Before he could even finish, Jeffrey snatched the phone right out of his hand.

Gregory felt a chill run down his spine, but he forced himself to speak up.“Mr. Hanson, I’m only trying to look out for your health. You’ve hardly been sleeping these days, and sometimes you don’t rest at all. If you go for a run now, you’re seriously risking collapsing”
