The Ex and Her Riches

Craig went pale and clenched his jaw slightly.

He was fairly exhausted after completing over five hundred pushups in a row, and there were over four hours left until he would get off work.

Just how much does Cedrick plan on abusing me?

Cedrick smirked when he saw the nervous look in Craig’s eyes. “Spread your legs about shoulder width apart and hold a squat position for an hour!” he ordered coldly.

That’s it? I just have to hold a squat position?

“Yes, sir.”

Craig breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got into a squat position with perfect form.

He was sweating profusely from the hot air blowing at him, but he maintained his position and controlled his breathing while counting the time.

Cedrick simply stared at him for a while without saying a word. He then made his way to the bookshelf behind Craig.

As Craig didn’t dare turn around, he couldn’t see what Cedrick was doing. All he heard was the clomp of Cedrick’s military boots that grew distant before getting closer and closer.

The next thing Craig knew, Cedrick had returned to his desk with a huge stack of books.

Oh, no… I have a bad feeling about this…

Sure enough, Cedrick proceeded to arrange the books into two separate stacks and placed them on top of Craig’s thighs

In order to prevent the book from falling off, Craig had no choice but to lower his squat by a couple of inches.

When Cedrick saw that Craig was handling it rather well, he prepared another two stacks of books and walked up to the latter once again.

“Hold your arms out with the palms facing upward,” he ordered.

Craig complied with the order, and Cedrick placed a stack of books in each hand.

Despite how agonizing it was, Craig simply clenched his teeth and endured it in silence.
