Mekhi gazed at the metal sign on the desk, which read Director. He had to remind himself that Nathan was his boss.
He restrained his frustration, picked up the ashtray from the carpet, and slammed it against his own forehead before Nathan.
His forehead instantly reddened and swelled but didnt bleed.
Nathan relished Mekhis frustrated expression and sternly scolded, Noelle moved back to the Shaws house just a week ago, and your task completion has dropped by half. Youve clearly been slacking off lately. No excuses! I havent checked in here for a while, and you deliberately try to deceive me? Have you considered the consequences of lying to me?
After Nathan said that, he picked up the teacup from the table and hurled it at Mekhi.
This time, Mekhi refrained from evading.
The teacup found its mark on the swollen wound on his forehead, broke the skin, and drew blood.
Enduring the sharp pain, Mekhi furrowed his brow and responded respectfully, I wouldnt dare deceive you, sir.
Were both well aware of your willingness or unwillingness to commit such acts.
Known for his decisiveness and ruthlessness, Nathan had softened over the past year due to his wifes influence.
Now, at her behest, he was very ready to teach Mekhi a lesson.

Nathan had long desired to punish Mekhi, who excelled at feigning ignorance, preying on the vulnerable, yielding to the powerful, and being manipulative.
Considering this, Nathan rubbed his wristwatch and questioned in a cold tone, Im reprimanding you for negligence at work. Yet, you attempt to dispute and evade punishment. Right?
With his hands behind his back, Mekhi clenched his fists and strained veins stood out on his arms.
He, being subordinate to Nathan, had no choice.
He felt aggrieved but resigned.
Sorry, sir. Ill accept any consequences.
Staring intently, Nathan declared, Your punishment is unavoidable.
Since theres ample time before the end of the workday, Ill use it to instill some discipline in you.
Taken aback, Mekhi glanced up at Nathan and sensed a subtle threat in his eyes.
Nathan adjusted his collar, rose slowly, and approached Mekhi.
Towering a bit over him, Nathan exuded dominance.
Remove your coat.
Baffled, Mekhi stared at Nathan for some time before complying with the directive. He removed the green coat, folded it neatly, and placed it on the sofa.
