Confrontation!

Clarence's words echoed throughout the room.

Boris stopped in his tracks. He felt an urge to curse right there and then.

Joshua Hayes' condition was indeed tricky, and he already had the intention to back out of this case.

Just as he was about to come up with some excuse to leave, Jeremy had indirectly helped him by bringing Clarence over.

He had tried to look angry on the outside, but on the inside, he was overjoyed! 

However, who on earth could have expected Clarence to insult him like that?

If Boris left now, that would prove what Clarence had said against him, would it not?

No!

He could not leave.

"What did you say, little runt?" Boris glared angrily at Clarence.

Clarence stood his ground, "Old man, are your ears as bad as your skills now?"

Boris had already insulted him by calling him a little runt, so why should Clarence show him any respect?

What was the meaning of this?
