htaccess rule to not redirect to the folder

Having an issue here while trying to remove .html extension from the url. I have work.html file and work folder on the same level. I'm tying to do rewrite in htaccess file, so it would work this way:

if someone hits URL .com/work -> it would load work.html page from the root directory. if someone hits URL .com/work/blabla -> it would load blabla.html page from work directory (.com/work/blabla.html)

But at the minute, when someone hits .com/work browser redirects to .com/work/ (work folder) and shows forbidden message. All other pages works as expected, the only issue is with the file and folder having the same name.

My rules are:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]

Could anyone help me with this?

ADDITION: On the picture below is file structure

file structure

after adding rewrites all works:

mywebsite.com -> show index.html
mywebsite.com/contact -> show contact.html
mywebsite.com/work/avrica - > show /work/avrica.html

the issue I have:

mywebsite.com/work -> which supposed to show work.html, but in reality it shows work folder with message forbidden

You can just use this single rule in your site root .htaccess:

DirectorySlash Off
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.html [L]
