Stanley appeared disappointed but he still nodded. “I understand!”
Subsequently, Matthew went straight to The Grand Garden.
Tiger was really reliable as he had already moved all of Julian’s belongings there. Other than that, a woman in her fifties named Mrs. Collins also came along. She was Jullian’s kind neighbor in the suburbs who would help him look after Nicole whenever he was not home. Usually, she would do some handicrafts at home to earn a little over one grand to subsidize her expenses.
Initially, Tiger wanted to send his own housekeeper to Julian’s, but Julian decided it would be better to hire Mrs. Collins instead after giving it some thought. This was because Mrs. Collins liked Nicole a lot and because he would be more at ease if Nicole’s nanny was someone he knew.
Being really forthright in doing things, Tiger gave Mrs. Collins thirty thousand on the spot, saying that it was her salary for the next six months, which meant that her salary a month would be five thousand.
Mrs. Collins was stunned. Her husband who worked as a deliveryman couldn’t even earn that much in a month! So, she didn’t dare to accept the offer at first, but Tiger stuffed the money into her hands firmly while Julian persuaded her. Finally, she accepted the offer. With this salary, she would no longer need to do handicrafts. Her job now would be to stay peacefully in this mansion and look after Nicole.
To make things more convenient for her, Tiger allowed Mrs. Collins and her family to move into his three-bedroom flat, which was nearby, without asking for any rent. That way, she could still return home occasionally and visit her family easily.
Matthew was satisfied with everything that Tiger had done, thinking that he was a really sharp person when dealing with situations.
On the other hand, Julian felt embarrassed. He was already hesitant to accept the mansion Tiger offered him, and now, Tiger was also the one who forked out his nanny’s salary and even went so far as to arrange the accommodation for her. All the unpleasantness which existed before completely disappeared at this stage.
“Tiger, I-I’ve caused you too much trouble. I’ll consider this a loan from you and I’ll return you the money once I’ve made some!”
Waving his hands anxiously, Tiger said, “Julian, don’t speak about this with me since this is what I should do. We’re all friends and I feel offended that you would say this! Money is not the most important thing in the world but if you bring this up again, I’ll fall out with you!” Matthew burst out laughing and patted Julian on his shoulder. “It’s okay, just arrange a position for Tiger when you start working at the company. Everything will be solved if you pay him a higher salary!”
Surprised, Julian said softly, “Don’t spout nonsense, Matthew! Tiger is earning millions a month with his big business. Wh-What position can I offer him?”
But Tiger’s eyes were twinkling because he knew the reason Matthew asked Julian to offer him a position was so that he could work for Matthew.
It didn’t matter what that position was. Most importantly, he would be working for Matthew from now on, which meant that his status would be elevated!
As for making money, it would be a piece of cake with Matthew. “Julian, you’ll be my boss from now on! Whatever position will do for me. I’m a person who’s not afraid of hardships and can do anything!”
