Chapter 272

Chapter 272: Grass to Gravel Chapter 272: Grass to Gravel Her words landed like a slap.

Obinna froze.

She saw it in his eyes, that flicker of recognition.

Because deep down, he knew it was true.

He had enforced the punishment, not her.

But of course, he couldn’t admit that.

His pride was too big, too loud.

It wouldn’t let him retreat even an inch.

So he didn’t respond to her accusation.

Not directly.

Instead, he changed the subject with the grace of a politician avoiding scandal.

“Anyway,” he began, his tone cooler now, “you haven’t given me any feedback on the work I assigned you.” Nnenna blinked, thrown by the sudden shift.

“I’ve waited for months, months, and nothing.

Not a word.

You must’ve finished it by now.

So why haven’t you brought it back to me?” “What work?” she asked honestly, trying to remember.

Obinna’s brow twitched.

“What do you mean ‘what work’?

Plus, she had completely forgotten about it.

Between the daily chaos, Ebere’s situation, and dodging punishments left and right, that file had slipped her mind like water through a crack.

“I’ve been busy,” she muttered.

“Busy?” he snapped.

“Busy doing what exactly?

Talking back?

Causing trouble?

You’ve had months, Nnenna.
