Back to the Past Breaking the Love Spell (Carlisle Zahn) novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173 

“Thank you, Boss,” Francis said with a heavy heart as he stood up. 

the table 

Carlisle took a stack of cash from the table and handed it over. “Take this money and buy something for her parents.” 

After hesitating for a moment, Francis accepted the morley. 

He hadn’t received a regular discharge from the army, so he had no severance pay. All the money he earned from driving taxis had already been given to his elderly parents. 

Carlisle then asked Renee, “Do you need to take leave?” 

Renee trembled slightly and cautiously glanced at the supervisor. “Madam, I…” 

“Mr. Zahn has spoken. Can you still refuse?” The supervisor rolled her eyes. 

The finance supervisor, Gladdish Carter, was a woman in her 40s, wearing a pearl necklace, a silver bracelet, and a gold ring. She was slightly overweight and wore heavy makeup. 

Logan frowned at Gladdish, and the other managers also quivered in response. One manager, who sat closer to Gladdish, quickly moved his chair to the side. 

They were all veterans in the workplace, skilled at reading between the lines. 

“Thank you, Ms. Carter. I’ll come back to fill out a leave request later,” Renee said, then grabbed Francis‘ sleeve and walked out. 

Around 10:00 pm, after the salaries of all employees and the management team had been paid out, there was still 760 thousand dollars left from the initial 4.2 million. 

Carlisle looked at Logan and asked, “Does the company have any positions like a factory manager or a general manager?” 

Logan shook her head. “The factory manager is Caleb’s cousin. He went on extended leave before Caleb disappeared. He probably won’t be coming back.” 

There was a hint of anger on Logan’s face as she spoke. Several managers lowered their heads, seeming to stifle laughter. 

Logan glared at them. “What are you laughing at?” 

The management team feared Logan, and seeing her anger, they immediately suppressed their smiles. One manager pinched his thigh hard to resist laughing 

Carlisle chuckled. “Could it be that you have a story with Caleb’s cousin?” 

Logan’s face was full of grievances. “He pursued me for two years, and I just agreed to start dating him. 

But then he disappeared without a trace.” 

22 

She was 32 this year but had never been in a relationship. The management team had given her the nickname “Spinster Warrior“. 

Just when it seemed like she was about to find her first love, her potential partner turned out to be Julian Davis, Caleb’s cousin. 

She had been happy to shake off the “Spinster Warrior” title and even flaunted it around the company. Little did she know that Julian would go on extended leave within three days, and his phone would be unreachable. 

Frustrated, she even went to Caleb’s door, but all he said was that Julian had some business. He had returned to his hometown in the mountains with poor signal. 

After three days, Caleb also ran away with his mistress. 

By then, Logan had finally woken up to the reality of the situation. At the same time, she felt grateful for being cautious enough. Otherwise, she would have been deceived for money and affection. 

“Do you have a safe in your office?” Carlisle didn’t pry into Logan’s personal matters. 

His question about the factory or general manager was aimed at temporarily depositing the remaining 400 thousand dollars in cash to the highest management. 

Since there was no factory or general manager, and Hank was probably too lazy to deal with company affairs, Logan held the highest position in the company, excluding himself.
