Chapter 36 For The Bonus
Sadie articulated her thoughts with such precision and conviction that Roy, previously dismissive, now appeared markedly taken aback.
His slender fingers drummed a steady, rhythmic beat on the tabletop, each tap echoing in sync with Sadie’s own pulsing
heart.
Roy finally opened the business proposal and skimmed through its contents. While the proposal was generally in line with his expectations, it was much more detailed and presented numerous insightful recommendations that would undoubtedly
benefit Maple Group.
With each page he turned, his eyebrows drew together tighter, signaling his escalating skepticism.
This proposal showcased an intricate understanding of Maple Group’s operations and astutely forecasted potential partnerships, a level of insight not typically expected of an average secretary.
“Well, about this proposal…” Roy began, hesitating as he closed the document. His sharp eyes locked onto Sadie’s. “Did you
put this together by yourself?”
Remaining outwardly composed, Sadie felt her heart pounding fiercely beneath her chest.
She clenched her delicate fingers so tightly that a thin layer of sweat dampened her palms.
Originally, she had devised this proposal to lighten Noah’s burden.
With the invaluable insights she had gathered from him about the Maple Group, she managed to assemble a detailed and
strategic plan.
Yet, she had never dared to present it to Noah, held back by the fear that he might view her initiative as presumptuous.
Now, lured by the promising bonus tied to the project, she felt compelled to dive headfirst into the challenge.
Roy mulled over the situation briefly, his fingers drumming a thoughtful rhythm on the polished tabletop before he
addressed her with a measured calmness. “Please, take a seat, Miss Hudson. Did Mr. Wall himself put this proposal
together?”
The slight arch of his eyebrow betrayed his surprise, offering Sadie a moment of relief as she felt a burden lift from her
shoulders.
She sensed the odds were finally tilting in her favor this time.
Yet, given the circumstances, she was well aware that the biggest share of credit had to be Noah’s.
It was absurd to think a mere secretary could stand for the entirety of the Wall Group.
With a restrained smile, Sadie nodded in acknowledgment. “Mr. Dominguez, your discernment is commendable. Yes, Mr.
Wall did this personally. Unfortunately, he’s not feeling well today, so he sent me in his place. I trust everything is to your satisfaction?”

Her voice maintained its composure, but beneath the surface, a subtle bitterness simmered.
For Noah’s sake, she had set aside her own ambitions, satisfied with lifting him up from behind the scenes. Yet, when all was said and done, she remained unnamed, her contributions silently acknowledged but never celebrated.
