Without even knocking, Flossie Wright kicked open the door.
Glenn Hutchinson, who was processing a report, winced at the loud noise. He lifted his gaze calmly, looking towards Flossie who slammed the door shut again.
Her delicate face was full of cold intent, the chilling gaze was like an ice pick, penetrating the heart. In an instant, the blood splattered, the cold air spread rapidly in the room. The faint murderous intent made one’s hair stand on end.
Seeing Flossie truly angry, Glenn’s demeanor remained unchanged, but he sighed inwardly, guessing that he had really made her blow her top this time.
Bard Walker, he had exposed himself again...
"Glenn Hutchinson!"
Walking steadily towards the office desk, the words Flossie spat out were like ice shards, the murderous intent that suddenly erupted made the entire office feel like an icehouse.
As the threatening punch approached him, Glenn instinctively dodged, simultaneously closing his laptop to protect the report that he had written for several hours. This small action was enough to delay Flossie. Her punch hung in the air, then abruptly changed direction, aiming for Glenn’s head again.
In this urgent situation, Glenn Hutchinson’s eyes narrowed, he quickly made a choice between blocking and evading. Utilizing the desk, he slid his office chair backward and barely dodged Flossie’s attack.
However, Flossie pursued relentlessly. In the instant when she vaulted over the desk, she managed to land several hits on Glenn, who could only block and not retaliate, given her furious state.
Flossie was a seasoned veteran after all. Even if her strength and speed were off, her moves were still ruthless, aiming for critical spots with no mercy. In all this fury, Glenn was naturally at a disadvantage, even defending himself became an issue and he took a few hits from Flossie.
In the end, as if frustrated, Flossie swept her leg and grabbed Glenn’s shoulder, pulling him down to the floor.
Seeing Flossie fall first, Glenn instinctively reached out to protect her. However, just as he hooked his arms around her waist, Flossie suddenly rolled him over and flipped him onto the ground. Taking advantage of the fall, Flossie’s elbow was already blocking Glenn’s neck, pressing him down hard onto the ground.
Glenn blinked, seeing the angry Flossie on top of him, he suddenly became still.
"Did you let Bard Walker threaten me?"
Applying some pressure on the elbow resting on his neck, Flossie’s gaze was as sharp as an ice blade. Even seeing Glenn’s concession did little to dissipate her anger.
Gazing at her calmly, Glenn’s eyes were full of suppressed emotion as he admitted without any attempt at concealment.
Flossie’s eyes narrowed at the expected answer, which only served to chill her heart further. However, her mind was strangely calm now, in stark contrast to her earlier impulsiveness and anger.
She didn’t despise threats or scheming.
For her, those were integral parts of her previous life.
But such a life was too exhausting.
After returning from a war, she did not want the people around her to threaten or scheme against her.
Of course, she had no plans to scheme against them either.
This was her normality.
That was why, she didn’t really enjoy struggling with Glenn, it was the reason she kept making concessions in front of him.
"Congratulations," Flossie suddenly withdrew her elbow, her indifferently cold gaze landed on Glenn Hutchinson. Her voice was soft and slow, but it was chilling to the core,"We can’t even be friends anymore."
As her words fell, Glenn’s pupils constricted slightly. As Flossie was about to leave, his arm around her waist suddenly tightened, and with ground support, he managed to flip their positions over, with him pressing her down now.

His brows tightly knitted, Glenn’s helplessness was even more apparent. Seeing Flossie’s stubbornness, he sighed, almost in despair, "Can’t you be less intense?!"
