"Go clean the toilets on this floor. I'll cut your pay if they're not spotless," Kristian said flatly, clearly furious.

Gerard struggled to stay calm. "But I..."

Why did telling the truth always feel like a crime? It just wasn't fair.

Kristian's lips barely moved. "You don't want to do it?"

"Of course, I'll do it," Gerard replied with a forced grin, eyes glossy. "It's an honor to scrub toilets for a premium assistant's salary."

"Then why are you still standing here? Should I bring you the supplies myself?" Kristian shot him a cold look. Gerard's chest tightened with frustration. He pulled out his phone and sent a text to his friend. "My boss is so petty. I just said one honest thing, now I'm scrubbing toilets like it's punishment."

His friend replied, "He's doing you a favor. Highest pay for a relaxing task? Not a bad deal."

How is toilet duty relaxing?"

Gerard stared at his screen, speechless.

He knew Kristian was just picking on him again!

Still, Gerard dragged himself to the restrooms and did the job without complaint. When people from other departments spotted him scrubbing away, their eyes widened.

Everyone silently agreed-Kristian was in a mood again.

Time slipped by.

After finishing all the restrooms, Gerard checked the clock and went to collect the documents that needed Kristian's signature. But not a single one had been touched.

"Mr. Shaw?" he asked carefully, deciding to take a risk since he was already being punished. "Didn't you say you'd sign them before the day ends? They're still untouched."

Kristian didn't look away from his screen. "The day's not over yet."

Gerard wanted to argue but noticed the files had been there since midday.

What had Kristian been doing for hours?
