Chapter 12
With a slight sense of unease lingering, Seojang returned to his office. As soon as his figure completely disappeared from sight, the remaining men simultaneously turned their gaze to Grayson. Standing still, they looked up at him with hardened expressions, as if facing a criminal.
Their arms crossed or one hand placed on their hips, their gazes were filled with blatant dissatisfaction. The hatred they felt for themselves, having been momentarily mesmerized by his unfamiliar beauty, only fueled their animosity, making it reach its peak.
In the suffocating silence, the air in the room grew tense. In the midst of it all, a man took a step forward, attempting to take the initiative, and spoke in a low voice while looking up at Grayson.
"You're a firefighter starting today? You?"
Another man, as if helping, quickly asked with a rough tone.
"How did you even get in here? We all went through tests. Don’t you have to do the same?"
"Right, the physical test. That's basic, basic stuff."
After quickly agreeing with the first man, others immediately jumped in, not wasting any time.
"You have to ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) carry heavy equipment and rush into dangerous places when there's a fire. Think you can do it?"
"Just showing up and calling yourself a colleague? That's bullshit. You can’t do that."
"We're a team. If someone like you gets in and messes things up, we’re all at risk. Hey, are you listening?"
"Answer me, you son of a bitch. Are you deaf?"
