He had been generous enough to secure her employment and ensure her position was manageable.


    She hadn’t expressed her gratitude, and now, she evencked the courage to acknowledge their acquaintance.


    She showed no gratitude at all.


    It reaffirmed his thought; he should not be so considerate toward her.


    Visibly upset, Kyson gestured toward the corner and deliberately asked Kurt, “Who are those two gossiping over there?”


    Bunny Bookery


    Kurt promptly approached and announced, “Mr.


    Shaw wants to speak with you.


    Please stand up.


    ”


    The other employee, Audrey Ortiz, rose to her feet timidly.


    Dulcie inhaled deeply and also stood.


    She nervously toyed with the hem of her shirt, her heart pounding so hard she thought it might burst.


    She kept her head down, focusing on her toes, too intimidated to look up at Kyson.


    Kyson’s expression was stern as he inquired, “Are you too hideous to show your face, or are you exceptionally beautiful? What makes it so hard for you to look at me?”


    Dulcie remained silent, realizing from his tone that he had recognized her.


    “Look up.


    ”


    Dulcie lifted her head reluctantly and spoke softly.


    “Hello, Mr.


    Shaw.


    My name is Dulcie Burton, a new intern in the logistics department.


    I’m responsible for printing documents and making coffee…”


    “Did I ask for your job description?”


    His voice was cold and harsh.


    “No…” Dulcie cut herself off.


    Kyson, with a stern look, admonished in a low voice, “This is a workce, and everyone else is diligently working.


    You two are the only ones chatting.


    Is this what you think you’re paid for?”


    Audrey repeatedly bowed and pleaded, “I’m sorry, Mr.


    Shaw.


    It won’t happen again.


    Please, give me another chance.


    Don’t fire me!”


    Dulcie remained silent and bowed respectfully as well.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Kyson, observing her submissive gesture, felt a surge of annoyance.


    Kurt stepped forward to speak on Audrey’s behalf.


    “Mr.


    Shaw, Audrey is a regr employee.


    She has been with us for two years and has notmitted any significant errors.


    After your public admonition today, I believe she won’t repeat her mistake.


    ”


    Kyson’s expression remained stern.


    He turned to Kurt and queried, “And what about her colleague who was equally engaged in the conversation? How should we address her situation?”


    Kurt remained silent for a moment.


    He nced at Dulcie, noting her obvious nervousness.


    Being new to the job, she seemed unaware that she should be apologizing as Audrey had.


    But Kurt was acutely aware of her identity; she was Kyson’s wife.


    Kurt understood that Kyson wanted him to speak up so that Kyson could justify forgiving Dulcie.
