Chapter 64
Flynn felt like his flattery strategy was working. If he could get on his sister–in–law’s good side, wouldn’t that mean he had someone to fall back on?
Flynn chuckled, leaning his hands on his office desk. “So, brother, how was the movie with your wife last night? Did it bring you two closer? Did you hold
hands, share a kiss?”
When the movie was mentioned, Herman stared at Flynn with a serious gaze. “There goes your allowance for the first half of next year”
“What, why?!” Flynn yelped, grabbing Herman’s arm. “Brother, I’m broke. If you don’t give me my allowance, I’ll have to beg on the streets. We’re brothers, how could you do this to me?”
Flynn was laying it on thick, just short of actual tears.
As the vice president of Elysian Technologies, Flynn’s salary came from Herman Of course, his income wasn’t the main thing to him.
He was quite the actor
Herman stared at Flynn gripping his hand and said flatly. Take your hand off”
Flynn immediately let go and gave Herman a pathetic look, as if he was wronged.
“Bro, was it the movie choice? That can’t be, it’s a touching movie. Watching it together in a dim setting, it’s bound to spark something.”
“Too direct” Herman replied. “Inappropriate setting”
Flynn got it immediately, laughing, “Bro, my bad for not thinking it through. Next time you can watch it at home or a private cinema. Just the two of you, do whatever you want, such a thrilling atmosphere.”
Flynn’s words were getting out of line. Herman pretended to hit Flynn, who quickly dodged and laughed, “Bro, I got it. I’ll go check on my sister–in–law at the branch. It’s her first day, she might need help. She’s so pretty, you must not want other men to set their sights on her”
“I’ve already told Victor at the branch, you don’t need to stir things up.” Herman handed Flynn a stack of documents. “Don’t use this as an excuse to slack off. Look over these projects and deal with them.”
Flynn was speechless.
“Bro, you’ve been bullying me since we were kids, now you’re still doing it and even docking my pay. I regret not running faster when we were kids, I wish I was the eldest.”
In wealthy families, brothers often fight over inheritance. But in the Salstrom family, the two brothers were trying to pass the workload to each other.
Herman picked up his coat and patted Flynn’s shoulder, Think about it. If you do your work, I’ll have more time for dates and you can handle more company matters.”
