Chapter 181 Justin, is that you? Part2

"Where the hell have you been, kid? Do you have any idea how crazy I've been going trying to find you?" The familiar voice of my old boss bellowed through the phone, as loud and commanding as ever.

I had been on the receiving end of his scolding many times before.

"Boss, I..." Hearing his familiar voice felt like being reborn after a long, terrible nightmare.

I was finally awake, and my words choked up with emotion.

"What do you mean 'I'? You have one hour to get your ass over here!"

He hung up abruptly, but not before I detected a tremble in his voice—a mix of happiness and excitement.

That call from my boss lifted all the weight off my shoulders.

All I wanted now was to see my colleagues and the brothers I had fought alongside.

As I stepped out of the car and entered the newsroom, under the sculpted gazes of my coworkers, I rushed to my boss's office.

My excitement made me forget all decorum, and I burst through the door without knocking.
