The Woman From Hell

I shrank back, feeling a little awkward. "I don't think you can really call it bullying. I wouldn't go so far as to call it that."

Marius was confused and added, "Then that means you bullied him."

I slapped him. I supposed that counted. I nodded.

After another round of surprise, Marius looked at me with a stunned expression. "No way... How did you bully him? Did you beat him?"

I nodded. It was indeed a beating.

Marius could not believe it. He shook his head and sighed. "No way... Why? What did he do?"

"He..."

I stumbled and told him roughly what had happened. Marius nodded after hearing what I said. "So that's what happened. It's a bit strange, Drover has never behaved like that."

"I was thinking, could it be because the project was bothering him and that's why his temperament changed?" I was taking a stab in the dark. I had no other clue apart from this.

Marius pursed his lips. He seemed puzzled by Drover's behavior. "Drover wouldn't behave so impulsively. How could he..." He pointed at me. Then, as if feeling like it was not appropriate, he put his hand down and shook his head while sighing. "If only Heather were here."
