Chapter 105 A Slight Punishment
Maia’s face turned grimmer after Lucas’s scolding. Her heart was full of resentment, but she had to endure it.
Meanwhile, Eric had already moved to another office to continue his work. He had no intention of using the office Maia had opened.
He found it dirty!
Thinking about Maia’s pitiful expression, in which she tried to gain sympathy, and her confident demeanour when approaching him made Eric feel nauseous. She acted as if he was already in her
grasp.
Did that woman even know her own worth? How dare she approach me? Is she blind?
Is my company’s image so friendly that those women think I’m someone they can approach?
Humph! The only woman who could get close to me is Kate!
Kate knew nothing about the happenings at Davison Group. She was unaware that Maia had attempted to seduce Eric, leading to his punishment in the office for half a day.
Maia felt like time was passing unbearably slowly, to the point that she was on the verge of collapsing.
Her body was tense. Her arms were aching from holding them up for so long, trembling like leaves. The documents in her hands seemed ready to fall any second.
Lucas stood there and stared at Maia, expressionless. He ignored Maia’s attempts to gain his favour with her pitiful looks.
He was Eric’s assistant and had to follow all of his orders.
When the end of the workday finally arrived, Lucas left without a word and a cold expression.
Maia let out a breath of relief, and the documents fell to the floor with a thud. She staggered, then collapsed onto the floor herself.
Sweat drenched her body, and the strain tightened her muscles. Now that she could finally relax, she felt intense soreness, especially in her arms, which felt like they no longer belonged to her.
Looking at her trembling hands, Maia felt the worst and was on the verge of breaking down.
She was a designer!
This afternoon’s punishment had taken a toll on her arms, making it impossible for her to hold a pen steadily.
Her body was so weak, she couldn’t even stand up.

he treated her harshly.
He showed her no mercy.
Maia’s heart was filled with complaints about Eric, as well as resentment and jealousy towards Kate.
She completely forgot that Kate and Eric had been married for three years. Every woman who tried to get close to Eric met a terrible fate..
Eric was even known privately in Capital City as a madman because, when he lost his temper, he was terrifying.
Maia’s punishment was relatively light considering it only lasted for an afternoon.
In another office within the Davison Group.
“Mr. Eric.”
Lucas stood before Eric. His expression was full of guilt, and he bowed his head in apology. “It was my fault during lunch. I neglected my duties and didn’t notice Maia entering. I promise such a thing will never happen again.”
Eric looked at Lucas with cold eyes and spoke in a cold tone, “Your bonus for this month is gone. Should any more inappropriate individuals enter my office, I will send you to Bliulia for three months.”
Lucas shuddered violently and immediately promised, “Mr. Eric, it will never happen again!”
Eric gave Lucas one last cold look before shifting his gaze away. A low grunt escaped his throat..
Lucas sensed that Eric had no intention of further pursuing the matter. He finally let out a sigh of relief.
It was only then that he realised he was sweating profusely.
