Chapter 202

Before he could finish, Yates suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Floyd by the collar in a swift motion.

Floyd, always the epitome of grace and gentility, towered slightly over Yates. Being two years his senior, his build was more robust.

Yet, he didn't retaliate. Instead, he let Yates push him until his back slammed against the wall with a loud "thud!"

As his back hit the wall, Yates swung a fist at him, yelling, "What right do you have to bring up the past!"

Floyd could have dodged it.

He might look slim, but he was far from frail. However, he chose not to, waiting for Yates's blow to land on his face, thinking it might be good to let him vent.

But-

Just as the punch was about to connect, Yates suddenly redirected his fist, smashing it into the wall beside Floyd's face with a resounding "bang!" Floyd blinked in surprise.

The corridor fell into an eerie silence, so quiet you could hear their heartbeats.

Yates and Floyd stood close, the heat of Yates's angry breath brushing against Floyd's face.

Floyd looked at him, seeing no longer the boy who used to follow him around, calling him "brother" years ago.

Floyd lowered his gaze, "Yatesy, you've grown taller."

Yates's anger seemed to dissipate with that punch. Hearing Floyd, he sullenly lowered his head, but before he could respond, the door to the private room burst open, and Merry rushed out.

She was holding her phone, looking somewhat anxious, but the sight that greeted her the two men standing so close-left her utterly baffled.

Merry's eyes widened, pointing first at Floyd, then at Yates, stammering, "You, you two... what's going on here?"

Yates glanced at her impatiently, pushing Floyd against the wall again as he let go of his collar, making him stumble back.

As Yates turned to leave, Floyd sharply inhaled in pain, "Ah," making Yates halt and look back to see Floyd rubbing his shoulder, saying, "Yatesy, you hurt me."
