Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259 

Nathan hung up the phone with a smug look on his face as he watched Gerber 

Gerber, however, was still skeptical. 

“Did you hire someone to impersonate Penny? How the hell do you know her?” 

Nathan wanted to blurt out that he was now her husband, but he knew it was a lie, and it would be pretty embarrassing if he got busted. So, he held back from boasting. 

Gerber’s gaze lingered on Nathan, his attitude softening a bit 

“All right, Nathan. Til double your salary if you can convince Penny not to blow this up. You’re making $500 a month, right? I’ll bump it up to 

$1,000. 

Nathan had been at this company for a while. Despite not having the same education as others, he was pretty capable, but Gerber had been. holding him back, and he’d never gotten a raise. 

In the workplace, asking about a coworker’s salary is considered impolite. He knew he was at the bottom of the pile even though he didn’t know what others were making. His buddy, who always complained about the boss with him, had already raised $600 

Seeing Nathan’s hesitance, Gerber scoffed, “I’m offering you a hefty raise, and you are still not biting? Look around, no other employee with your education level is getting this kind of deal.” 

Nathan sucked in a deep breath, silently cussing out Gerber before finally lifting his head. 

“Got it. I go talk to Penny now.” 

As Gerber left, he bumped into the president of Silverstone Enterprises in the elevator. The man was sweating bullets, complaining to his 

assistant. 

“What’s the deal? Why is Mr. Raymond suddenly popping in for a visit? Penny’s coming soon, too. If Mr. Raymond and Penny cross paths, we don’t have to wait for Penny to find him and he’ll know that 

The president of Silverstone Enterprises had never been in this situation before. Many domestic companies wanted to cooperate with lan Raymond. If this project failed, Silverstone Enterprises would definitely be ridiculed, especially since they had already announced the cooperation. 

Nathan stood aside, a glint in his eyes, then spoke up respectfully, 

“I know Penny. I’m about to go pick her up. I’ll try to stall her in the lobby so you can get Mr. Raymond out of here before they bump into each other.” 

The president was frantic, but seeing a low level employee chime in, he raised an eyebrow. 

“All right, if you can pull that off, I’ll give you a promotion. 

Nathan’s cheeks flushed with excitement. It looked like the boss was already fed up with Gerber. 

If he got promoted, he would inevitably replace Gerber
