Nathaniel sounded incredibly impatient, his deep voice stern and fierce, yet his teaching was thorough and detailed.
Mavis remained quiet throughout.
“Try it. Use the method I just taught you and type another row of text."
Mavis, being a beginner, had to watch the keyboard as she typed.
However, she was very diligent and tried hard to overcome her two-finger typing habit.
Following the technique Nathaniel had just taught her, she slowly typed out another row of text.
As she was not used to it, Mavis kept pressing on the wrong letter. Nevertheless, the positions of her fingers were accurate.
Nathaniel quietly observed her hands.
She was making progress so quickly, showing that she had a knack for this.
Nathaniel felt somewhat relieved.
Though satisfied with her progress, he still said, “You're incredibly slow. Tonight, I'm adding an extra task for you. Once you finish entering the data, you'll also need to transcribe this contract. Remember the technique I just taught you. You're not allowed to sleep until you're done, and your internship salary for the month will be deducted too."
Mavis grimaced as she turned to him, asking, "But you said that outside the company, I'm not your employee. How can you exploit labor like this and dock my pay?"
He remained unapologetic as he replied, "Your skills are lacking. If you want to navigate the workplace confidently in the future, you'll need to step up. I won't let our personal relationship interfere with work. If you can't handle the workload after your three-month probation, be prepared to be let go from the Nicholls Group."
Even though his words were harsh, every word rang true.
Not wanting to lose her internship pay for the first month, Mavis tried to speed up her typing, completely ignoring his presence and focusing solely on her work.
Her speed indeed improved significantly.
Nathaniel watched her for a while before his gaze focused on her earlobes.
When he corrected her finger placement earlier, their proximity caused his face to brush against Mavis's ear.
It made his heart flutter strangely.
Realizing he was wandering into unnecessary thoughts again, Nathaniel's expression grew colder.
“Hurry up and finish so you can sleep. You're so slow. Even a pig is smarter than you. I can't believe you didn't even learn basic computer skills while you were in Harbor City.”
He muttered irritably and headed to the window in the study to smoke.

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