Chapter 104 Are You Questioning My Decision?
Maia’s body shivered at Lucas’s shout. She instinctively wanted to say something, but then she heard Eric’s chilling voice. He questioned, “You just wanted to deliver a document, right? Fine, I’ll grant your
wishes.”
Eric strode over. His expression was cold as he grabbed a stack of documents from the desk, throwing them at Maia.
Startled, she clumsily caught the documents and looked at Eric through tear–filled eyes. Maia appeared rather pitiful.
Eric’s face held a sinister smile, and his eyes were cold and ruthless. “Stand right there! Maintain the same posture as when you handed over the document. Stay still until the end of the workday.
“Didn’t you enjoy delivering documents to me?”
Eric’s voice was icy and dripped with sarcasm.
Maia’s face turned pale, and she immediately admitted her mistake, saying. “Mr. Davison, I know I was wrong. I won’t overstep my bounds again!
“Please, have mercy!”
It was not even noon yet, and there were still six hours until the end of the workday. If she had to maintain that position the whole time, she would be completely exhausted.
“Are you questioning my decision?”
Eric tugged impatiently at his collar. His eyes looked even more dangerous, with a hint of a bloodthirsty gleam.
Maia instantly fell silent.
She trembled as she looked at Eric. Maia clenched his teeth and picked up the documents again. Then, she slightly bent her body and extended her arms, maintaining the posture of handing over a
document.
Smack!
Eric unceremoniously slapped the documents out of Maia’s hands, his voice icy. “You’re not bending low enough. Lower.”
Wasn’t this woman just trying to get closer to the floor a moment ago? She was wearing a low–cut dress, thinking she could seduce him.
Maia’s face turned pallid. Humiliation rose from the bottom of her heart, but she dared not resist. She bent down to pick up the documents, then lowered her body even more.
Eric’s eyes were full of disdain and mockery. He glanced coldly at Lucas and commanded, “Watch her.

“If she enjoys delivering documents so much, let her do it to her heart’s content!”
Eric threw out these words and walked away with long strides..
Lucas’s complexion was ashen. He knew very well that Eric was truly angry this time.
Maia was the head of the design department, and she had crossed the line. Even though she hadn’t succeeded in anything significant, a stern warning was in order.
The only reason harsher measures weren’t taken….
Lucas knew it was because of Kate.
Given the impending collaboration between Davison Group and Miles Corporation, and the departure of those designers, Maia’s dismissal would leave Kate with numerous responsibilities.
Eric couldn’t bear to see Kate overwhelmed with a mess right after joining the company.
Moreover, Maia held some respect among the designers. If she were fired, the designers might feel
unsettled.
Eric may not care about that, but he does care about Kate.
After Eric left the office, the oppressive atmosphere gradually dissipated.
Maia maintained her posture, while Lucas glared at her with a dark expression.
“Lucas…
Maia’s voice was trembling. She looked at Lucas pitifully, hoping he would plead for her.
Hearing her voice made Lucas’s complexion darker. He snorted coldly and said, “I can’t even save myself, and you expect me to plead for you?”
He was there watching Maia because of her transgression!
“After seeing how Mr. Eric interacted with his wife, did you really think that just because you some looks, you too could imagine climbing the social ladder?”
