"Huh, what did you say, boy." Juang's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Aaron.
Aaron, his expression cold and firm, stood protectively in front of Liling, shielding her from Juang's intrusive gaze.
"I said, can't you see she's uncomfortable?" Aaron's voice sliced through the tense air.
Liling's heart raced as she looked at Aaron, finding solace in his embrace.
She quickly gathered her courage and stepped forward, positioning herself between Aaron and Juang. She knew that Juang's frustration was evident.
"Boy, do you know who the hell I am?" Juang's voice trembled with anger, his forehead vein bulging as he approached Aaron. Liling, caught in the middle, spoke up, her voice shaky but determined.
"I-I am sorry, Captain. He's just new... He doesn't know who he's talking to," she stammered, her hand trembling as she gestured towards Aaron.
