Chapter 378 Ignorant
“Leah, you know why I’m angry now, right? This guy is just hopeless!” exclaimed Heather as she sighed.
Leah nodded, agreeing strongly with what Heather said. Looking at Alex, she said, “Alex, since Mr. Jones is willing to give you a salary of ten million, it means that you’re very capable. Why didn’t you agree?”
Is there something wrong with Alex’s brain? How foolish is he to give up such an amazing opportunity?
If Leah knew about Alex’s identity, she would be agitated by his nonchalance toward the Jeffersons’ multibillion assets, and his generosity to his brother, Shàne. After all, no one would be this foolish?
“Yeah, Alex. That’s hundreds of millions a year. It’s an extremely prestigious opportunity for an employee. A lot of bosses cannot even earn a billion in a year,” Rose chimed in.
“Call Mr. Jones quickly. Otherwise, he might change his mind,” hurried Leah.
However, Alex merely smiled and continued eating silently.
“Alex, didn’t you say you’ll buy a mansion for me? When will you buy it?” Heather changed the topic, trying to force Alex to relent.
Leah and Rose immediately understood. Alex must have promised Heather in the past, so she was using his promise to force him to work for the Joneses.
However, they could not understand why Alex would rather work as a chauffeur with a monthly salary of twenty thousand instead of working for Stefan.
Alex explained, “My boss treats me really well. He gave me a luxury car that costs millions. How can I betray him just for a slightly higher salary? I should stand by my principles, right?”.
Actually, he knew what Heather meant.
Recently, they had been arguing about his inheritance. To be honest, he was a bit annoyed already.
“Alex, did your boss really give you a million- luxury car?” asked Rose in surprise
Why does he have such amazing luck? Not only did his boss give him a luxury car, but Mr. Jones is also offering him a job that pays a million monthly!
Is he really the Jennings’ live-in son-in-law?
The more Rose thought about it, the more Alex did not seem like a man who lived off a woman.
“Well, the RS7 that Heather is driving is a gift from my boss. It costs two million. Since my boss treats me so well, how can I betray him just for a higher salary, right?” explained Alex.
“Yeah. If someone gives me a two million luxury car, I won’t betray the person too. It’s true that we must have basic morals and principles.” Rose nodded approvingly.
Alex glanced at Rose, surprised that she could understand.
“This is a difference between two million and ten million. How can we relate it to morals? You should just tell your boss directly. He’ll definitely let you leave. Even if he doesn’t, he’ll increase your salary by a lot,” suggested Carmen. However, her tone was calm and careful.
“Yeah, Alex. Even if you aren’t going to work for Mr. Jones, you should tell your boss. He’ll definitely increase your salary,” said Leah as she nodded.
