"Just cleaning the toilets?" Gerard's eyes widened in surprise. In previous times, such infractions would have undoubtedly triggered a bonus deduction.

The word "toilets" sent an involuntary shiver through Kristian's spine as Freya's bizarre suggestion about dining. in the bathroom floated through his mind. "Would you like to join the cleaning crew as well?"

"I believe this esteemed responsibility belongs in the capable hands of department managers," Gerard replied with a practiced smile.

The others stood frozen, utterly dumbfounded.

Esteemed responsibility? Hardly!

With thoughts of Freya consuming his mind, Kristian had little patience for further discussion and dismissed them with a wave of his hand.

"Regarding your meal-would you prefer lunch now or shall we wait until dinner?" Gerard inquired after the room had emptied. "Your earlier order is still being kept warm. I can retrieve it immediately if you'd like."

Kristian fixed his gaze on Gerard. "The restroom on this floor is now your responsibility for the next month."

"But I..." Gerard attempted to protest.

"Two months," Kristian declared icily.

"Yes..." Gerard dared not challenge him further.

Back in his office, he struggled to comprehend his boss's peculiar fixation with restrooms.

Contemplating his two-month cleaning sentence, he vented to his friend, "My boss has undergone some strange transformation lately, developing an unusual obsession with restroom duty. No more bonus deductions-just restroom cleaning assignments for everyone-and somehow I've been caught in the crossfire."

His friend responded bluntly, "You're receiving an assistant's salary while performing a cleaner's duties. Perhaps gratitude would be more appropriate."

Gerard countered, "When exactly does your boss plan to return from vacation? It's been two years of absence. Doesn't she harbor concerns about the company's financial stability?"

"Even if Shaw Group collapses into bankruptcy, my boss's company will remain unaffected."

Gerard decisively put away his phone, refusing to engage further in the conversation.

The situation baffled him completely. What manner of legendary figure was his friend's employer? Taking a two-year hiatus while continuing to pay salaries and bonuses seemed extraordinary.
