Elias’s anger surged like a tidal wave, engulfing his entire being Driven by the ferocity of his emotions, he creened his already beleaguered sports car directly toward James’s Hummer, discarding thoughts of self preservation.
As the collision erupted in a blaze of fury, Diari body was jotted forward, only to snap back, his elbow colliding harshly with the car door
A sharp pang of pain contorted his features, and he realized his left arm was probably injured.
Inside the Hummer, James seemed nonchalant about the newly acquired dents and scrapes etched across
his vehicle.
He regarded Elias in the sports car, a smirk of arrogance and disdain tugging at his lips. “Ants shaking a tree, overestimating your abilities
Without further ado, he accelerated away, leaving Elias to simmer in his frustration.
Elias’s clenched fist met the steering wheel in a futile punch, only to be met with a renewed wave of pain.
Lukas received Elias’s call when Elias sat in the ambulance.
Grievances pouring from his mouth, he elucidated the entire sequence of events. “Lukas, you can’t even imagine how insufferably arrogant that bastard is. He flipped me off and admitted it was deliberate. Damn it, I’m practically boiling over! Once they release me from this hospital, I’m going to wipe the floor
with that asshole!”
“You’re certainly a spectacle. Managed to only hurt yourself by crushing to others.” Lukas’s tone
remained nonchalant.
Elias retorted, “He provoked me on purpose. He rammed into me first. It’s all because we snagged your designer away last night. He’s deliberately itching for a fight!”
A tinge of exasperation tinged Lukas’s voice. “Enough with the absurdity. What’s the sense in crashing your sports car into his Hummer? Did you leave your brain at home today? If you genuinely want to take a swing at him, how about using a tank next time and simply run him over?”
A chuckle broke free from Elias, dispelling his sulky demeanor. “You’ve got a point there. I’ll consider a tank for our next encounter, just to be safe.”
Upon ending the call, Lukas made his way directly to the hospital.

bastard!”
A furrow etched across Reese’s brow. The scene unfolding was all too clear to her mind.
In a span of seconds, she took out her phone, playing a prerecorded loop of emergency siren, and diales the local police number.
Clutching her phone, she sprinted toward the alley, raising her voice. “The cops are on their ways”
The hurried footsteps of the aggressors could be heard retreating, mingling with frantic whispers, “Quit in let’s go, the cops are coming!”
“Hurry, the police sirens are wailing just outside the alley!”
As Reese neared the alley’s entrance, the sound of a fleeing group faded into the distance.
Hastily, she approached the site of the altercation.

Cautiously closing in, she discovered a within a sack discarded on the ground.
With nimble fingers, Reese untied the sack and revealed an unexpected visage beneath.
She never expected that when the bag was removed, a handsome face would appear before her eyes.
In the past, Reese thought that a man could be handsome as a piece of God’s art was a kind of
exaggeration.
However, now, upon seeing this person before her, she felt that was not exaggerated at all.

The human propensity for visual stimulation momentarily arrested Reese?
Only when the individual addressed her in a courteous tone. “Did you sound the alarm just now, Miss?”
Reese snap back to reality.
Quickly lending a hand, she helped him to his feet and urged. “We should leave this place, just in case
those individuals return.”
Nodding in agreement, they hastened out of the alleyway.
Sighs of relief were exchanged as they reached the main thoroughfare.
Reese couldn’t help but notice his facial injuries, remnants of the earlier altercation. Concern evident in her voice, she inquired. “Are you all right?”
The man shook his head, a smile gracing his features, “It’s nothing too severe, just a few minor scrapes. By the way. I haven’t had the chance to introduce myself.”
With an extended hand and a genial smile, he introduced, “Hello, I’m Anthony. Thank you timely intervention and kindly help.”

Upon hearing the name, Reese’s mind jolted. Anthony? Why did it so familiar?
Then, like a lightning bolt of realization, a piece of information pierced her consciousness. Her eyes widened in astonishment. “You’re the director of Rivers Health Medical Center?”
Anthony’s features registered a flicker of surprise. “You recognize me?”
