However, Nathaniel suddenly remembered a car that did not look too expensive.
It was the car Mavis had mentioned before.
Although it was pricey, it had a subtle elegance that suited someone like her who preferred to stay low-profile.
Nathaniel replied, "I'll go find you a modest one. Would that work?"
"Also, it should be cheap," Kristen added.
Nathaniel nodded. "As you wish."
Soon enough, Nathaniel managed to procure a car that looked affordable.
Before bringing it back, he had it deliberately aged a bit by a professional.
Kristen took it at face value.
The model was ordinary, nothing particularly fancy, but it was very comfortable to sit in.
"Is this car expensive?"
Nathaniel shook his head. "Not at all."
For a moment, Kristen did not know what to say. The car indeed did not look expensive, but if Kristen truly were a naive village girl, she might have actually believed Nathaniel's words.
Nonetheless, she could only pretend not to know anything.
…
On her first day at work, people looked at Kristen differently.
She thought it was because she came from a small place.
However, after arriving at the company, her colleagues started gossiping more and more, saying all sorts of things.
By the third day of work, she finally realized something was wrong.
Originally, she was supposed to get hold of some crucial company documents, but Nathaniel had placed her by his side instead as a do-nothing assistant who still got paid.
She wanted to help her colleagues, but they looked at her strangely and did not want to interact with her much.
Before leaving work, Kristen could not hold it in anymore and went to find Nathaniel.
"Nate, what is this about?"
Nathaniel frowned. "What's wrong? Is someone bullying you at the company?"

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