the President Office of White Corp.
Malcolm just entered the office and Chad came in to ask for reward.
"Boss, you're energetic today. You must have a great time last night, right?" He rubbed his hands together, with a silly smile similar to a puppy's on his face.
Energetic?
Last night he knelt on the washboard for nearly an hour and his knees were still swollen with two bruises.
Malcolm's dark eyes were lightly averted. His expression was mysterious but he smiled, which was a little weird.
Chad looked confused. It was the first time for him to see such a strange expression on his boss' face, as if he was angry, but also seemed to be in a good mood?
Was this a success, or was it a failure?
He was a little unsure.
Malcolm, who was wearing a pair of black leather gloves today for the first time, removed the gloves and showed Chad the palm of his left hand. His voice was low with no emotion.
"What do you think of the battle?"
Chad looked at his left hand and saw the swollen and purple bruises on his palm, feeling shocked.
This was ...
Beaten by Miss Lyra again?
His hand was swollen like this. Miss Lyra was so cruel!
Chad subconsciously swallowed. He had already imagined how tragic his boss was last night in accordance with what he taught.
With his boss' ferocious and vindictive nature, he must not resigned to it and involve him to share his tragedy.
Damn, he was to ask for a reward, but he let himself be caught!
Chad instantly went weak in the legs and fell at Malcolm's feet, hugging Malcolm's right leg with a forlorn look on his face.
Because of the lack of acting skills, it was hard for him to squeeze some tears, so he could only howl: "Boss! I'm guilty! I shouldn't have given you a bad idea. It's all my fault! I am willing to accept any punishment! Temporary dismissal is fine, but don't deduct my money again, or I'll just have to eat instant noodles every day!"
Malcolm's eyes were deep, looking down at him, but smiling, "Who said I was going to punish you?"
"Huh?"
Chad's weeping features paused momentarily, which was a bit comical.
He raised his face with a dumbfounded expression, not believing it at all, "Not punishing me? Do you break the rules and give me a pay rise?"
"Yes, a pay rise."
Malcolm's voice was calm and steady, which did not sound like a lie at all.
Although Chad's bad idea got him beaten up, it also gave him a good start. Not only did he have sex successfully last night, but he also got to make a deal with Lyra, as he had hoped. And the thorny issue about Reginald was resolved.
So, Chad was not only correct, but also meritorious!
Chad, unaware of the true reason, stared at him in shock and looked at him with strong suspicion.
His boss became silly because of being beaten up?
Or did ... he have a masochistic tendency?
Miss Lyra beat him up, and the harder she beat him up, the more he got into it?
