Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 280

The cars must have been rented temporarily to handle the massive surge in holiday orders.

It was a smart move. Using cars drastically sped up the process and saved a ton of travel time. Grant Ziegler was seriously capable.

"Is the steakhouse packed?" Rachel asked.

"Absolutely packed. Private rooms aside, you can't even get a regular table."

With that, the delivery guy rushed off to his next stop.

Mira and the others finally sat down to eat.

"Rachel, after the holidays, I'm going to hire someone to help you around the house."

"There's no need. The work here takes me half a day, and I rest the other half. Having someone else around would just get in the way."

Mira let it go. When Rachel eventually got too tired, she would naturally agree to the extra help.

After dinner, Mira handed each of the three of them a massive red envelope containing a hundred thousand dollars.

"You don't need to give me a bonus, Mira. You already pay me such a generous salary."

Rachel felt genuinely guilty taking it.

The going rate for a housekeeper was around a thousand dollars a month. Because of her high-level culinary skills, she had made three thousand a month as the head of the kitchen at the Mercer estate.

Even that had made her the envy of everyone in her profession.

But since moving to Emberline Estates to work for Mira, her salary had bumped to five thousand a month. That was white-collar money.

And that wasn't even counting the time Mira helped her invest in the stock market, turning her life savings of two hundred thousand dollars into eight hundred thousand.

She truly was the child Rachel had raised. Mira treated her better than her own flesh and blood ever could.

Mira fed her well, housed her in luxury, never treated her like a servant, and even helped her son land a fantastic job.

Rachel had no idea what she had done in her past life to deserve a boss as wonderful as Mira.

Because Mira was so kind, Rachel refused to be greedy. She couldn't accept the bonus. She knew Mira was out there hustling hard on her own after leaving the Mercer family.

"Take it, Rachel. You've worked hard all year. It's for good luck," Mira insisted.
