Impatiently, Shane hung up the phone. He was well aware of the sect’s rules, but he had truly earned his position in the company through his own merit. No one had assisted him in achieving it. 

In this society, capability was everything. Take Frederick, for example. He was highly educated, taller, and even slightly more good-looking than Shane… Well, maybe slightly less handsome. But what did that matter? Wasn’t Frederick fired shortly after joining the company? 

In contrast, Shane was thriving in the company effortlessly. 

When he returned to the office, his colleagues were all engaged in conversation. 

“Have you heard? Our company is going to negotiate a partnership with Diamond Titan Military Technologies!” 

“Oh my God! That’s a top international conglomerate! Do we have the capacity for that?” 

“I’m not sure; it’s just a rumor. It’s something our boss is supposed to handle!” 

“I heard that if this project is successful, there’s a commission of 1 million!” 

Shane wasn’t interested in such hot topics. After all, he had been with the company for a while now and still had no 

idea what he was doing. In other words, he was just muddling along. However, he was intrigued by the million- 

dollar commission, but he also knew that such a significant task would not be assigned to a newbie like him. 

“Hey, who put their breakfast on my desk?” Shane sat at his desk and found an extra breakfast on it. Unlike the 

inexpensive breakfast Lola and the others usually brought, this was a luxurious and nutritious meal! 

“Shane, that’s from Ms. Pennington. She said it’s her way of saying thank you!” Lola told him with a wink. 

Shane felt somewhat flattered. Isn’t Ms. Pennington being too kind to me? A luxurious and nutritious meal just for letting her take the taxi? 

“Haha! Thanks. I’m really flattered,” Shane said modestly, but he quickly devoured the meal. 

However, recalling Santiago’s reminder, he felt that he owed Ms. Pennington a huge favor. “I have to repay her!” He 

sighed, worrying about how to repay the favor, when he noticed that Ms. Pennington had been in a meeting with Henry all day and hadn’t even had lunch. 

When Lauren finally emerged from Henry’s office at 2 p.m., she was famished. 

Just then, Shane handed her a sumptuous lunch. 

Lauren was stunned. She had already ordered lunch. What was Shane doing? 

“Ms. Pennington, this is to thank you for the breakfast. My family has never liked owing favors for over 100 years!” Shane said proudly 

Lauren initially wanted to refuse, but on second thought, shù gratefully said. “Shane, thank you so much! But now I

“Haha! Ms. Pennington, it’s too kind of you to say that!” Shane laughed. “As I just said, my family has never liked owing favors for over 100 years. I let you have the taxi this morning to repay your previous favor, and now I’m repaying you for the breakfast you bought me!” 

“Huh? But this—” 

Before Lauren could say anything, Shane quickly left to avoid owing another favor, lest he had to repay it later. 

He thought that would be the end of it, but an hour later, Lauren suddenly called a department meeting, which he also attended.
