Love or Die: CEO’ s Daily Dose of Swoon (Cordelia) novel Chapter 292

Bill tried to keep a straight face but failed miserably, "Even if her work had nothing to do with our data, even if she had written a big fat zero, you should've thrown some cash her way... For the boss's sake, how can you not offer a dime? And you say 'priceless'? Priceless, my foot!"

After finishing his rant, Bill turned to Everard, calculating his next move, "Just name your price, man. The boss won't let the company suffer. He'll definitely figure this out!"

The R&D manager was at a loss for words, "...What I meant was, this answer can't be measured in money! We're talking shares here!"

Bill was taken aback, it took him a moment to catch on, "Wait, are you saying my sister-in-law got it right?"

"Absolutely! The process is crystal clear, it's the textbook answer, well, now it is since I've told you. You decide on the shares! This answer is the key to the whole project..."

Bill swallowed hard, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? My sister-in-law is just an 18-year-old girl..."

"I'm positive! But an 18-year-old solving this? Did the boss help her?"

That's when it hit Bill, he whispered into the phone, "You have no idea. The way the boss acts around her, it's just embarrassing. I'm ashamed to even talk about it!"

Everard, overhearing the entire conversation, was puzzled.

He then said, "You seem pretty free lately. Why don't you join us tonight?"

Bill's legs turned to jelly, "Actually, I just remembered, I have some contracts to sign, gotta focus on making money. Boss, I'm not cut out for this kind of physical work."

Everard gave him a cold look.

Bill nearly cried, "Boss..."

Before he could finish, Skyler clapped him on the shoulder, "Come on, it's been a while since we teamed up. Just thinking about it gets my adrenaline pumping!"

Bill was speechless.

Why did he have to badmouth the boss?

And Skyler, claiming to be scared but clearly excited, what was that about?

Bill gulped, "Last time, didn't you say you wanted an Omega watch? I've been thinking, I might have one for you."

Skyler's eyes lit up, "Are you trying to bribe me? In front of the boss? I'm so scared! What if he punishes me?"

After the excitement, he asked, "Which model? The latest one? I want it in black!"

Bill replied, "Just make sure I come back alive to get it for you, okay?"

"Got it, got it!" Skyler nonchalantly said, "Don't worry, you'll keep your life. Worst case, you might lose an arm or a leg."

Bill was even more terrified after Skyler's reassurance.

Turning to Everard, Bill's voice trembled, "Boss, you're coming too?"

Skyler added, "This one's dangerous, of course, the boss has to oversee it."

Hearing the situation was dangerous, the usually tough Bill felt his legs turn to jelly, "Boss, please spare me, I'm just good at making money, not fighting!"
