The Night I Let Go novel Chapter 51

Back at the CEO office in Yel Corporation, Anya finished the work she was doing and called in her secretary, who was named Sarah Brown.

"Notify the finance department and tell them to give the manager of the business department, Charles Wright, a raise of three thousand dollars in base salary. He will also get a bonus of an extra 20 thousand dollars this month!"

Sarah looked very surprised. She couldn't help asking, "Ms. Wayne, why are you giving Mr. Wright a raise and an extra bonus?"

Anya twirled the fountain pen in her fingers and thought for a moment before she replied, "He's a family man who treats his wife well and is good to his subordinates."

Sarah's eyes widened in shock.

Charles' good treatment of his subordinates could be a reason, but what did him being a family man and treating his wife well have anything to do with the company?

Sarah was very curious, but she did not dare to ask too much.

…

Meanwhile, Zachary had reached the office.

However, it was already 10:30 am by the time he arrived, and he was half an hour late.

Zachary was prepared to get his salary cut, but when Charles saw him, he only smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Zachary, you've only been here for a while, so I'll let it go this time. Be more careful in future!"

Charles was glowing and looked as if he was in an excellent mood.

He cleared his throat and said loudly to the rest of the staff in the department, "Let's finish all the work on hand early. After work, I'll treat everyone to a meal so that our department can get together and welcome our new colleague, Zachary."

The staff members of the business department immediately cheered for joy.

One of the female colleagues said teasingly, "Did you get rich, boss?"

"Thanks to all of you, I got a raise of three thousand dollars in my base salary, and Ms. Wayne has even given me 20 thousand dollars extra as a bonus for this month!" Charles was very forthright and admitted it generously.

"Damn! Did you save Ms. Wayne's life? You got three thousand dollars all of a sudden and even got a 20-thousand-dollar bonus?"

All of the staff members looked curious.

"Don't be silly!" Charles chuckled and pretended to glare at the staff member who had teased him. He scratched his head and said, "I'm also a little confused, but the finance department says that I'm a family man who treats my wife and subordinates well, so she gave me a raise and a bonus."

"Boss, who would believe a reason like that? You must have done something behind our backs!" The staff member who had teased him clearly did not believe it.
