After the Fall A Leap into a Stranger's Arms novel Chapter 35

The real source of that mysterious signal on the cruise ship was Catherine, not Shirley.

A hint of a smile played at the corner of Magee’s mouth.

Right then, Catherine glanced at Magee, her red lips pressing together before she looked up and spoke. “Magee, I have a favor to ask… and I’m not sure if you’ll agree to it.”

“Go ahead.”

“I want to give your company full access to Resonance AI, all the rights. But… I need an advance on my salary. One hundred million. I know it’s a lot, but I need it right away.”

Magee’s eyes widened, caught off guard. Resonance AI was worth much more than that, but her request wasn’t exactly easy for him to grant.

At that moment, his office phone rang. Magee offered a quick smile. “Excuse me, let me take this call.”

Catherine twisted her fingers together, silently vowing to get that advance. She’d promised Nestor a hundred million, and she had to deliver.

Magee picked up. “Hello?”

“Say yes to her,” came a deep, calm young man’s voice from the other end. There was no room for argument.

Magee froze, then it hit him who Catherine really was.

He hung up and walked back to her, smiling. “Catherine, we can do that for you. The money will be in your account today.”

“Really?” Catherine’s eyes lit up.

“Really,” Magee nodded, his tone sincere.

“Thank you. You have no idea how much this means to me.” Catherine’s voice trembled a little, equal parts relief and excitement.

“You don’t have to thank me. You’re worth much more than that. Come in and start work next Monday.”
