It wasn’t a question.
It was a statement.
Yet, it was bone-chillingly cold, filled with murderous intent.
Dangerous, icy, oppressive.
The girl’s heart suddenly leaped into her throat, her fear spreading from her heart and coursing through her veins, until her limbs felt numb.
In front of her, Perry Reed was lounging casually.
Leaning against the back of his chair, dressed in an elegant trench coat and shirt. Yet, the feelings he evoked in others were far from admiration - they were utter intimidation.
For he was dangerously intimidating.
His handsome yet indifferent face, his deep-set eyes radiated danger. The narrowed, murderous glint in his eyes was akin to a sharp sword, aiming straight for the deepest corners of the heart upon eye contact.
Uncontrollable.
The girl couldn’t help but tremble.
She opened her mouth, but was immediately silenced.
She was taken aback to find that in front of this man, even speaking had become incredibly difficult.
"Wha...wha...what’s happening?"
At this moment, the boss, who had returned from the back kitchen, rushed over upon hearing the assistant’s narrative.
He seemed to come to make peace, but while he prepared to speak, he felt unexpectedly nervous.
He got a clear look at the man sitting at the table.
Dressed all in black, he emanated a cold and dangerous aura, resembling a bloodthirsty predator emerging from the darkness.
His presence was too overwhelming.
The boss, who had been running this store for many years, had never seen such a dangerous figure. His legs went weak on their own accord.
What was happening today....

"Dad!" Seeing the boss, the girl immediately hid behind him, clutching his arm. Her body trembling uncontrollably as she tearfully complained, "They...they bullied me."
The girl was the only child, spoiled from a young age. This upbringing had fostered her arrogant personality. She couldn’t stand even the slightest injustice.
Today, after falling down a couple of times, losing tremendous face, and feeling jealous of Flossie Wright’s appearance, she refused to apologize out of anger, and now she had been frightened by this customer, naturally, she felt wronged.
Now that her doting father was here, she felt somewhat relieved.
At this, the boss felt embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Perry Reed raised an eyebrow, his piercing gaze mixed with a hint of impatience.
Without any hesitation, the boss pulled his daughter out from behind him and pushed her in front of him, "Apologize now!"
"What ’wha’, look at what you’ve become. You won’t even acknowledge when you’re in the wrong. Apologize now!"
The girl was stunned.
She couldn’t comprehend why her usually affectionate father was suddenly so harsh.
Caught unawares, she was momentarily unresponsive.
The next moment-
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Wah, Daddy..."
The distressed girl felt extremely wronged and stomped her foot before running away in anguish.
At her reaction, the boss, caught off guard, stood there awkwardly.
"Forget it."
That cold voice, broke through the boss’s confusion.
It was Flossie Wright who had been watching at the side the whole time.
Unlike Perry Reed, she had remained indifferent from the start, as if the coffee hadn’t been spilled on her, and the refusal to apologize hadn’t been aimed at her.
She just watched.
And now, she spoke.
Relieving the boss’s embarrassment, she put an end to the situation.
Immediately, the boss’s expression improved, as he quickly leaned down saying, "Let me clean your shoes for you."
