Nathaniel sensed it and turned around, glaring at Tommy.
Tommy quickly wiped the smile off his face, hastily explaining, "I just remembered a funny joke I saw just now and couldn't help but laugh."
Nathaniel raised an eyebrow, his blue eyes twinkling as he teased, "What joke? Show it to me."
Tommy hesitated, thrown off guard by Nathaniel's unexpected request.
"Uh, it was just a random video I stumbled upon on an app. I didn't like or save it, so I probably can't find it again…"
Nathaniel casually continued, "Then you can tell me yourself."
Placed in a tough spot, Tommy whispered in resignation, "Mr. Nicholls…"
"If you can't tell it, I'll deduct it from your salary. That seems fair."
Tommy thought it was not fair at all!
His mind raced as he recalled a corny joke he had heard before.
"It's an animation about two banana brothers out for a stroll. The older one, with longer legs, walks ahead and suddenly feels hot, so he takes off his peel. And then, Mr. Nicholls, guess what happened…"
Tommy animatedly recounted the joke, gesturing and laughing as he spoke.
"The younger banana brother slips on the peel, and the voiceover, it's just hilarious, haha…"
He held onto the elevator railing, doubled over with laughter, clutching his stomach.
"Isn't it funny? Really hilarious, right?"
Nathaniel stared at him expressionlessly, his gaze icy cold.
The chill in his gaze sent shivers down Tommy's spine.
Tommy's smile quickly faded, and his expression turned serious as he respectfully lowered his head.
"Yeah. It's not funny at all…"
Seeing Tommy surrender, Nathaniel felt a sense of satisfaction.
His expression softened slightly.
"It's indeed not funny at all. From now on, refrain from indulging in such useless humor."
"Yes, of course. I won't watch them again."
As they chatted, the elevator reached the fifteenth floor.
The employees on the entire floor had no idea Nathaniel was coming.
When they suddenly saw him, the whole floor erupted into screams.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)
The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
