novelxo Chapter 32: A Godsend?
Catherine had been an ordinary clerk in the company of the Smith family.
Suddenly offered to be a manager by Kurt, she was taken aback by the good opportunity.
Kurt said enthusiastically, "Miss Smith, if you come over, you can work with your husband. Isn't it wonderful?"
Catherine stopped mooning and hastily accepted the offer, "Mr. Thomas, I'm more than willing! When can I go to work? How much is the salary?!"
As she spoke, she was flushed with excitement.
'Mr. Thomas, the richest man, has offered me a job!?'
It made her feel dreamy.
Before calming down, she was furthered shocked by what Kurt said next.
"Miss Smith, you can come to work anytime you like. As for your salary, how about five million yuan a year?" Kurt said.
"Five, five million?" Catherine gasped.
Eddy and Jane widened their eyes.
'Isn't the package too good?'
"What do you think of this offer?" Kurt said.
Richard coughed. He looked to Kurt meaningfully.
'Five million yuan? Why don't you just offer ten million yuan? You make it too easy. Aren't you afraid of being revealed?!'
Kurt's eyes lit up. He gave Richard a got-it look.
Then he immediately changed. "Five million yuan is our general manager's annual salary. It's completely unworthy of your ability, Miss Smith. I've decided to give you ten million yuan a year, plus bonus and subsidies!"
Catherine was struck dumb on the spot!
Ten million yuan?!
Her face flushed with emotion and her body shook.
Jane burst into tears instantly. "An annual salary of ten million yuan? Doesn't it mean that we'll be able to pay back the Miller family in three years?! Dear daughter, we Smith family are saved!"
Eddy also wept. "Hurry, let's thank Mr. Thomas."
"Thank you, Mr. Thomas."
Catherine was so grateful that she hurried to shake hands with Kurt. She carefully said, "Mr. Thomas, won't, won't there be any strings attached?"
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Back then, she forced herself to marry James in order to save Maria. Now, suddenly offered so much money and such a senior position by Kurt, she couldn't help but think Kurt was also up to something. "No strings attached. It is my pleasure to have Miss Smith work in my company." Kurt hurriedly said.
"No strings attached?" Catherine looked stunned, feeling ecstatic.
'Can this really be a godsend?'
Richard was speechless. He thought to himself that Kurt might do something crazier if he stayed.
Thus, he said hastily, "Mr. Thomas, it's about to lunch time. Why don't you stay for lunch?"
Catherine also said enthusiastically, "Yes, Mr. Thomas, you're a rare guest. Have lunch before you leave! You have done us a great favor, so please accept our gratitude."
Knowing that the boss was signaling him to leave, Kurt hurriedly took his leave. He didn't dare to disturb the boss's quality time with the family.
Catherine and her parents expressed their gratitude many times and personally sent Kurt downstairs.
Back home, Eddy looked at Richard with joy and praised, "Richard has made something of himself. You deserve praise for your relationship with Mr. Thomas, the richest man in Evento."
Catherine took Richard's hand gently and said gratefully, "Richard, thank you. Without you, I would not have had such a job opportunity."
Maria took Richard's hand, laughing. "Dad, you are awesome."
Jane also put on a better expression. Still, she said coldly, "You are at last of some use. Still, you are just a driver! My daughter has an annual salary of ten million yuan. She's a lot better than you loser. My daughter is out of your league!"
"Mom, we're a family," Catherine persuaded.
At this point, there was a loud sound of the door being smashed.
"Who's there?" Jane was irritated.
Richard went to open the door. Oliver, Duke and other members of the Smith family stood at the door.
"Richard, you loser, fuck off!"
Oliver stared at Richard before he led the others to break in.
They glanced across the empty room, smiling scornfully and grimly.
Oliver sat down on the sofa as if there were nobody else. Putting on airs, he reached out to Eddy and said coldly, "Eddy, have you prepared the thirty million? Pay back!"
