Because of the noisy environnt, I couldn’t hear clearly, but I probably caught so of it.
Damn, he was really planning to have his wife have sex with others!
How despicable!
"Everything is for the company. And, rest assured, I will be there at that ti..."
"Steven, I regret having married you!" Linda suddenly raised her voice, turned around, and ran out!
Steven looked around. Since no one was paying attention, he hesitated to chase after her.
In the end, he didn’t chase after her.
I thought for a mont and walked out of the banquet hall.
Linda didn’t go downstairs but entered the won’s restroom. I also went into the n’s restroom, relieved myself, and then waited by the sink.
Hearing the sound of high heels, I quickly walked out. As expected, it was Linda.
I saw her, and she saw , too!
Linda’s eyes were a bit red as if she had been crying. "Why are you here?"
Her expression instantly turned cold.
"Just ca in with a friend." I took out a cigarette. "Ms. Foster, why are your eyes reddened?"
She glared at . "Is it any of your business?"
"It’s not." I shook my head. "Just out of a subordinate’s concern."
After saying that, I walked away, and she asked, "Where are you going?"
"Oh, to smoke a cigarette!" I wondered if Linda would co over. The chances of her returning to the banquet hall at this mont were slim, but she wouldn’t leave directly.
After all, Jessica Lawrence and the others were still downstairs. As long as she left, she would be noticed.
The banquet was not over yet. If Linda had already left, what would they think?
At this mont, if I showed up, there was a certain probability that she would co over. Besides, Linda smoked. When I went to her office, there were cigarette butts on her desk.
As expected, as soon as I entered the fire escape, the door was pushed open behind . "Give one!"
I deliberately looked surprised. She frowned and said, "Didn’t you hear ?"
"Oh!" I quickly took out a cigarette. "It’s not a ladies’ cigarette. It’s stronger in flavor. Take it slow, don’t inhale too deeply!"
I lit it for her, and the atmosphere beca sowhat awkward. In the dim light, two dimly lit cigarette ends flickered.
The sll of smoke mixed with the pleasant fragrance on her body, creating a unique scent.
This scent was intoxicating, making unconsciously draw closer.
"Help out!" Linda flicked the cigarette ash. "If Tatiana can give you sothing, I can give it to you, too."
"Ms. Foster, what do you an?" I pretended to be puzzled.
"You’re a smart person. You should understand what I an," Linda said. "You’re currently Tatiana’s driver. I don’t need your surface complints. Just help out privately and report to on Tatiana’s every move."
I thought, ’Damn, is she asking to be a double agent?’
"I’m afraid I can’t do that." I declined.
"As long as you agree, I’ll give you five thousand dollars each month, privately!"
Five thousand?
In the past, I might have agreed to this, but now, it didn’t an much.
"Ms. Foster, I can’t do this kind of thing."
"Are you trying to be my enemy along with her then?" Linda crushed her cigarette, her voice turning exceptionally cold.
"Ms. Foster, you misunderstand. I’m just a humble driver. I can’t get involved in this kind of matter."
I thought, ’How can I help you for just this small benefit?’
"I can’t do this kind of thing."
"Are you trying to refuse ?" Linda crushed the cigarette, her voice becoming unusually cold.
"Ms. Foster, I’m just a driver. I ca to work for money. Technically, you’re the vice president, and I should agree to whatever you say. But, I’m lazy and cowardly, afraid that if sothing goes wrong, I’ll offend soone and end up in a bad situation."
"Just stand by my side and I will support you. When the ti cos, I’ll make you a deputy director, even a deputy general manager!"
"Ms. Foster, I..."
"Either stand with or stand with her. You figure it out and weigh the consequences yourself!"
What a blatant threat!
I was also annoyed. "Ms. Foster, if you want to stand by you, you should give the benefit."
"You’re greedy!"
"Am I greedy?" I smiled and said. "Not at all greedy. It’s just that you’re forcing to do sothing I don’t want to do. And although five thousand dollars is a lot, I’m confident I can earn several tens of thousands in a month."
She didn’t refute but said, "Indeed, by cozying up to Wallace Company and Marquesa Vines company, you do have the ability to say such things. It seems that I set the price too low."
Linda chuckled. "In that case, ten thousand dollars a month. Next month, I guarantee you the position of deputy general manager."
Deputy general manager?
"But the marketing departnt already has Nicole."
"I promoted her. Having one more won’t hurt!"
Well, it turned out Linda promoted her, not Tatiana. I misunderstood Tatiana in the end.
I couldn’t figure out why she promoted Nicole. Wasn’t one Jessica Lawrence enough?
"Ms. Foster, isn’t Ms. Lawrence your person?"
"No!"
"Then why did you promote Nicole?"
"Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask." Linda said, "You just need to help out. I won’t treat you unfairly."
"I don’t believe in empty promises."
Linda didn’t say anything. She took out her phone, and then my phone vibrated. She said, "The money has been transferred to you. Take it!"
I checked my phone, and it was twenty thousand dollars!
"Ms. Foster, why is it twenty thousand dollars?"
"For this month and the next."
Two months!
I thought, ’In two months, I might be kicked out of the company.’
Linda’s way of doing things was unpredictable. Jessica Lawrence supported her enough, but in the end, she promoted Nicole to share her power.
I nodded. Whatever. I shouldn’t let the money go to waste. I wouldn’t stay at the Skylight Group for much longer anyway.
"Thank you, Ms. Foster." I happily accepted the money.
