Gregory sat on the small sofa, clearly irked, as he worked on translating documents.

Ray didn't pay him any further attention. Instead, he focused on reviewing important files, categorizing them, and sticking labels on each to make Aisha's job easier later.

It wasn't until 7 AM the next morning that Gregory finally finished translating the documents, but the grammar was a disaster.

Ray snorted dismissively, "A high school kid could do a better job than you."

Gregory, who hadn't slept all night, was pale and trembling, barely able to stand. Autumn's chill had settled in, and Ray, stubbornly, hadn't turned on the heating, leaving Gregory shivering all night. Frustrated and worn out, Gregory was on the verge of losing his temper, but he swallowed his anger, not wanting to cross someone from the Brimer family.

Gregory stormed out, face flushed with a mix of anger and embarrassment.
