Ensure you tidy up before you take your leave.


    ”


    “Sir.


    ” Opening his eyes, Mekhi called out in a hushed tone.


    “Can I.


    Nathan, expecting Mekhi’s request, firmly refused, “No.


    But if you don’t mind everyone knowing about your punishment in my office today, ask them toe in and clean up the floor for you.


    Even if you’re unable to stand, you can still move.


    I’ll ensure no one enters to disturb you, to preserve some of your dignity.


    The choice is yours.


    ”


    Unyielding and cold, Nathan stared silently at the pathetic man on the floor, showing no mercy.


    “Okay…”Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Hearing that, Nathan put on his coat and turned towards the door.


    But he abruptly turned and added, “I hope you were honest with me about Noelle.


    If not, you’d face some tough consequences.


    ”


    With eyshes blinking uneasily, Mekhi gave no response.


    Nathan snorted and walked out of the office gracefully.


    After Nathan took his leave, Mekhi struggled to lift his head and fixed his gaze on the “director” sign on the desk.


    Unconsciously, his fists clenched.


    He was unable to conceal the surging hatred within him.


    Following a brief rest, he managed to rise from the floor.


    Exhausted, he couldn’t stand and proceeded forward on his knees.


    Using a duster cloth, he wiped away sweat and tea stains from the floor and cleared the scattered porcin pieces.


    Afterward, he contacted a trusted friend who helped him return to his office.


    He took a shower, changed clothes, and then headed home.


    Upon Nathan’s return to N&L Fairy Land, he found several guests.


    Cyrus, Sonny, and Luisa were all there.


    They sat on the sofa in silence.


    Their somber expressions hinted at an impending meeting.


    Nathan approached Lucinda directly and sat next to her.


    Despite the other people present, he embraced her.


    Lucinda patted his hand and cautioned, “Stop it! Many people are watching.


    ”


    Her firm pat left a faint red mark on his wrist, but he didn’t release his grip.


    Sighing, he confessed, “I haven’t seen you all day.


    I miss you.


    ”


    Cyrus sighed, feeling helpless as he saw the mischievous expression on Nathan’s face.


    Sonny, unfazed, held hisughter as he watched Nathan’s childish antics before Lucinda.
