Ralph used to be clueless about how to please a woman, but this changed after he dated his girlfriend.
She had definitely trained him well!
"Is that all it takes?" Nathaniel asked, skeptical.
Get her flowers and have dinner together…
Was it really that simple?
He had always heard that dating and wooing a woman was complicated and required a lot of effort.
Ralph nodded confidently. "Yes, Mr. Nicholls. Also, during the date, the man should definitely take charge. For instance, you should take the initiative to kiss her first and make sure she feels your affection. That's what makes a proper date."
"Got it. You may leave now."
Ralph's face lit up with gratitude, and he quickly left, thrilled to be off the hook.
Nathaniel walked over to Mavis's workspace and saw her deeply absorbed in organizing files.
After giving it a thought, he decided not to disturb her.
He stood there for a moment, finally turning to leave.
If they were going to have their first proper date since getting married, it had to be formal and not half-hearted.
…
A few more uneventful days passed, and Mavis was surprised.
Nathaniel had not played any tricks on her lately.
Did he finally realize she deserved a break?
Curious, she made a cup of coffee and walked to his office door.
She knocked and said, "Mr. Nicholls, I made you some coffee. I'm coming in."
He did not refuse, so Mavis pushed the door open and walked in.
"Mr. Nicholls, I'll leave the coffee here."
She figured she should stay away from his office for a while to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
After she left, Nathaniel glanced at the spot where she had just stood and smiled.
Knowing she would not return to his office that afternoon, Nathaniel quietly took his private elevator and left the company.
Back at the Nicholls residence, Nathaniel opened his wardrobe and frowned at the rows of black suits.
They were all the same style, making no difference whether he dressed up or not.
As he pondered over his outfit dilemma, a cheerful voice echoed from outside the mansion.
"I'm home!"
Gabrielle saw Nathaniel's car parked outside and hurried upstairs.
She saw Nathaniel standing in front of his wardrobe, looking lost, and gave him a playful slap on the back.
"What's wrong? What's got you so troubled? Let me see if I can help."
