Sylvie went out of the office and went to the bathroom alone. Standing in front of the mirror, she turned on the tap and washed her face to make herself sober. She looked up at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were red and her face was pale and swollen. She took a deep breath, held back tears and said in a low voice, "Sylvie, you can prove yourself! Come on!"
Then, she looked at herself in the mirror and put on a beautiful smile. She blinked her beautiful eyes. She must trust herself, so that others can have confidence in her.
When she went back to her desk, she did the analysis in good spirits.
Aila, Secretary Hill and Daria all turned their gaze at Sylvie. When they saw Sylvie smiling, they were a little surprised and didn't say anything.
Sylvie didn't finish the report until everyone got off work. She spent more time than Secretary Hill did, but she had finished it anyway. She printed out and knocked the office door.
It had been more than an hour since they got off work.
Only Marley and she were left in the floor. Marley stayed in his office, busy with his business.
"Come in!" A deep voice came from inside.
Sylvie pushed the door, went in and saw Marley working on a laptop. He was typing fast. His long eyelashes were black and dense. When they drooped, they looked more beautiful.
"Mr Hughes!" She shouted and felt a little embarrassed.
Marley looked up at her, and said softly, "Have you finished it?"
"Yes." Sylvie walked over and handed him the report.
Marley frowned, reached out to take it. He held the report with his long fingers and read it. "Sit down!"
Sylvie didn't dare to sit.
He looked up and signaled her to sit in the chair. Sylvie could only sit down.
Marley read it carefully and spent about ten minutes.
Sylvie was waiting and peered at him many times. She found that he frowned from time to time but looked very serious. It was true that a man who worked hard was the most charming
After reading it, Marley put the report on his desk and looked up at her. "What do you think of your analysis?"
Sylvie was shocked and didn't expect that he would ask so bluntly. "It's hard to say!"
"You are not confident?"
"No!" She lowered her head.
"Keep your head up!" He shouted.
Sylvie could only look up at his handsome face. A hint of fear flashed through her eyes. She hesitated for a moment and answered firmly, "I think I have done it well!"
He looked at her. "Sure, but you spent too much time!"
"Yes!" She knew it. She was surprised that he didn't give her a hard time and even appreciated her. She was astonished and felt her hard work was worthwhile.
"Let's go!" He stood up suddenly.
"You said that you would punish me." She didn't forget that he wanted to give her other documents.
He took the suit and straightened up. Sylvie stood up. He just walked towards her. She stepped back. There was fear in her eyes. He got closer. She was so scared that her pupils slightly contracted. He stood in front of her.
Sylvie lowered her head subconsciously and her heart beat fast.
"Go home and work overtime!" He spoke.
She was stunned and looked up to his dark eyes. He bent and got close to her. She was scared and stepped back. Their gaze met. He put on a mischievous look. "If you don't want to work overtime, I can punish you in another way!"
She was a little puzzled, but blushed. "What?"
"Sleep with me tonight!" He said in a hoarse voice.
"I would rather work overtime!" She spoke.
"My good girl!" Marley gently smiled. "Well done, Sylvie!"
Sylvie looked at him shyly. He curled his lips and said faintly, "You need to work harder to improve your efficient! Do you get it?"
"Yes!" Sylvie was stunned, then nodded, and put on a bright smile. "I'll work hard!"
Seeing her bright smile, Marley was at a loss. A charming smile touched his lips. "Let's go home!"
She followed him downstairs.

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
