Mavis was completely focused on her work and did not notice his change in expression.
After an hour of diligent effort, she was finally done sorting all the files.
She was even sweating from the hard work.
"Mr. Nicholls, I've finished organizing everything," she announced, gesturing toward the neatly stacked files on the floor.
Looking at the organized files, Nathaniel smirked, covering his mouth as he said, "You may leave."
Huh? What?
Was he seriously letting her go just like that?
Without even looking at her?
Mavis was shocked and frustrated.
So, this matter was not urgent at all!
She stole a glance at his barely suppressed amusement and suddenly realized she had been tricked!
He did it on purpose, wanting to see her struggle!
Despite realizing this, Mavis did not dare to fight back.
After all, she was just a powerless assistant.
With her head hung low, she left the office.
Mavis barely had a moment to rest throughout the afternoon, and she slumped down from exhaustion once she was back at her desk.
As days passed, Mavis grew accustomed to working with Nathaniel.
Enduring his teasing and pranks, she found herself looking forward to the days ahead.
With more time spent with him, she no longer felt intimidated by him and even dared to push back at times.
Mavis suddenly found herself enjoying her work and the time spent with Nathaniel.
"Mr. Nicholls, I brewed a cup of cappuccino for you. Give it a taste," she said.
She placed the coffee on his desk before hastily leaving with a mischievous smile.
"Mavis!"
Just as the office door closed, Nathaniel's furious voice echoed inside.
How dare she put salt in the cappuccino!

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