Lacey nodded. “You’ve done a great job at landing the Whiteridge project. I’ll give you a five hundred raise.”

“Just five hundred?” Zeke was a little disappointed.

“What? Getting a five hundred raise is probably the highest we can offer.”

Zeke could only smile bitterly.

Do you think I’m an idiot? I got you a project that’s worth millions, and you’re only raising my wage by five hundred? You’re even worse than Phillip.

“But I dealt in two projects at Whiteridge...”

“Two?” Lacey was shocked. “What is the other one?”

“The titanium alloy factory.”

Lacey turned to look at Dawn excitedly. “Dawnie, is that true?”

“Yes,” Dawn replied with her blinking eyes.

“Haha!” Lacey let out a laugh, not paying any attention to her image. “The biggest problem with our

group is that we’re short of an alloy factory and had to get our material from suppliers! With the factory in our hands now, we don’t have to worry about that anymore! Zeke, good work! I’m going to give you another five hundred raise!”

Seeing how excited Lacey was, Zeke was happy as well. “Don’t I deserve more than that?”

“Why? Your monthly salary is six thousand five now. It’s more than enough to afford a relatively luxurious life. It’s not nice to be greedy. Especially for a single person like yourself. Position yourself for success and don’t become arrogant just because you’ve achieved something...”

“Wait. Why am I single? Aren’t you my girlfriend?”

“I have already told you, I’m not your girlfriend until we go through that thing,” Lacey scolded.

Zeke was utterly confused as he still couldn’t find out what Lacey meant.

“Fight on! I’m rooting for you!” Dawn smiled at Zeke as if she understood what Lacey meant.

“Well, whatever,” Zeke sighed. “But you have to give me another five hundred raise. Because other than those two projects, I just got you another one as well.”

What?

Lacey’s eyes widened.

Even Dawn sprang from the couch.

Another project? So efficient!

“Which project did you get?” Dawn asked impatiently.

“Well, the kindergarten that Sharon went to was shut down indefinitely. I thought that we should give her a good learning environment, so I...” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Bang!

Zeke was cut short by a loud bang on the door.

“Come in,” Lacey answered.

The door opened and a white-collar woman walked in.

She was Even Schneider’s personal secretary.

The secretary smiled at Lacey. “Hello Lacey, Dawn.”

“Ms. Morton, please, have a seat. It’s rare for you to come here personally,” Lacey greeted politely.

“It’s fine. I’m just here to deliver the contract, and I’ll be on my way. I still have a lot to do at the office,” Ms. Morton smiled.

“Contract? What contract?” Both Lacey and Dawn gasped.

“I’m not quite sure. You may see for yourselves.”
