A high-level meeting turned tense as senior officials clashed over a weeks-long proposal debate. Emotions boiled over when one leader snapped, “You’re a jerk,” silencing the room.
The real shock came moments later, when the other official calmly responded with a short, cutting remark. Though his exact words weren’t heard, witnesses described them as “devastatingly precise.”
The first man quietly gathered his papers and left without a word.
The room remained frozen. No one spoke. Efforts to resume the meeting faltered under the weight of the moment.
Though both men returned to work later, the atmosphere remained strained. Behind closed doors, talks are underway to ease tensions and restore cooperation.
