Tai turned too, arm still around my waist.
“Can we help you with something?” Tai asked.
Jason ignored him. “Well looks like congratulations are in order.” He said to me.
“Tai… this is Jason. My ex-husband. I’m not sure why he’s here.” I spoke with a firm voice, irritated that Jason was still ignoring Tai. What an asshole.
“I accompanied the officials from the institute. Remember, I’m on the board. You guys made a big discovery everyone’s talking about.”
I knew that there would be a few officials here from the institute, my father would be attending as one, but Jason didn’t really need to be here.
It was necessary at all. Except maybe to irritate me.
“Right.” I nodded. “I forgot that you look for every opportunity to put your name on something.”
“Some things I seriously wished never had my name.”
Me… he was talking about me.
Tai noticed that straight away. “I’m sorry what did you just say?” Tai released his hold on me.
Jason simply laughed as he regarded Tai, looking him up and down like he was beneath him.
“This your latest victim Phoebe?” Jason mused eyeing Tai up with amusement.
Victim.How dare he?
“Come on Tai let’s go.” I didn’t want to speak to Jason anymore or cause a scene.
“Personal lapdog too, where did you find this guy?” Jason continued. “You know she may have the ass and tits but did this bitch tell you she comes with a warning label?”
The blood drained from my cheeks. This was his attempt to embarrass me the same way I embarrassed him at his meeting.
The only warning label I could come with was that I couldn’t have children.
Before I could respond and tell him to go fuck himself Tai landed a fist straight in Jason’s face.
Tai was at least four inches taller, was built like a tank with all that muscle and that no- nonsense attitude fueled him with rage.
“Fucking asshole, how dare you speak to her like that?” Tai cried.
Jason stumbled backwards but regained his footing and threw back a punch that Tai dodged with ease.
Tai grabbed him in his neck and hoisted him up in the air.
“Tai stop!” I cried when I saw Jason gasping for air.
Several people had gathered around now watching the debacle.
Tai released Jason, but the fool thought he should continue the fight. He kicked Tai and that was when Tai grabbed him and threw him on the ground.
Suddenly the two were on the ground, Tai landing punches in Jason’s face.
I had to throw myself on his back to get him to stop.
“Tai no, it’s not worth it!” I cried.
One last punch. Another would have knocked him out, or killed him for sure.
