The colleague rolled her eyes.
"Are you slow or something? The Nicholls Group is a family business passed down through generations. Of course, it wasn't founded by Mr. Nathaniel Nicholls himself. But if you bothered to read further, you'd see that he's the current CEO!"
Mavis's face flushed with embarrassment.
She had made a fool of herself.
Just last night, she had proudly told Nathaniel that she had found a job, not realizing it was his company…
How would Nathaniel react when he found out?
Would he think she was being deliberate?
Trying to make him notice her often, even fall for her, purposely seeking his attention?
Given his unpredictable temper, would he mock her?
Mavis felt bitter, wanting to hide under her desk.
The colleague at the neighboring workstation was puzzled.
"What's with the reaction? Do you… know Mr. Nicholls personally?"
Mavis shook her head.
"Not really."
…
Meanwhile, Nathaniel's piercing blue eyes swept across the room, taking in every workstation.
Everyone appeared focused on their work, except for two slender figures crouched in the corner, avoiding his gaze.
Nathaniel furrowed his brows, feeling slightly irritated.
He was not some wild animal that would pounce on them.
Why were they hiding like this?
He casually walked over, the only sounds around him being the clicking of keyboards and mice.
Although Mavis and her colleague's gossip was quiet, he could hear it clearly.
Nathaniel caught the last few sentences, especially Mavis's "Not really."
His expression turned cold, anger slowly brewing within him.
He had tried to help her by finding her a job and arranging something easy to handle, yet she did not even dare to admit to knowing him.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
