Chapter 806:
The group was certain Dustin was in for a severe reprimand.
Dustin trailed behind Collin into the office, his expression distant and unfocused, completely unaware of the
thoughts running through everyone else’s minds.
Once the office door shut behind them, Dustin overheard Collin on the phone. “Contact the boxing gym. I'm
bringing someone along shortly.” The moment he heard those words, Dustin jolted back to awareness, his voice
laced with panic as he asked, “Collin, you're not actually thinking of draggingto the boxing gym, are you?”
Collin adjusted his tie and responded coldly, “You need to sharpen up. We can’t afford your lack of focus with the
workload we have.” Just then, a knock cat the door. “Boss, the gym is prepared for your arrival. Shall we go
now?”
Dustin's panic surged, and his first thought was escape. “Collin, hold on, | suddenly feel quite ill...”

Three hours later, Dustin lay exhausted and soaked in sweat on the gym mat.

Without a flicker of emotion, he glanced down at Dustin, who was struggling for air, then peeled off his gloves at
an unhurried pace. “Get up.”
Fear washed over Dustin’s face, but he couldn't even lift a hand to protest. “I can’t do it, Collin. | messed up. Just
letoff the hook. If this keeps going, it’s going to kill me.”
Collin gave him a distant look, then sat down abruptly on the gym floor, stripping off his gloves and flinging them
to the side.
Just then, his assistant arrived with two water bottles, handing them to Collin, who casually threw one to Dustin.
Startled by the unexpected toss, Dustin exclaimed, “Collin, you're really—"
“What are you trying to say?” Collin asked, a hint of challenge in his tone.
Dustin hesitated, then quietly unscrewed the cap of his water bottle and took a sip.
Moments later, Collins voice dropped to a whisper as he said, “I hope this won't happen again.”
Dustin understood right away that Collin was calling him out for spacing out during the meeting. “Yeah, | know.
I'm not myself today. I'm sorry.”
