The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 805

Casper knew Zane always had a purpose behind his actions, so he took the phone and played the recording. By the time he finished listening, his expression had darkened. "How could he do this?"

Zane explained, "He tried to go through me and failed, so I'm guessing he'll come up with another plan. You'll need to be careful from now on. I'm sure they'll try something else."

"Okay," Casper replied.

…

Gary stared at his phone, unable to muster a response.

Julia asked, "He didn't agree?"

"No," Gary replied, rubbing his temples. "As long as Zane doesn't fire Casper, he'll have a job and a salary. There's no way he'll come back."

Upon hearing this, Julia suddenly had an idea. She smiled. "Casper's working for Zane because of the salary,

right?"

Gary didn't understand why she was fixating on such trivial details at this point, but he humored her.

He nodded. "Yes."

"Then think about it. We can tell Casper that his skills are worth far more than a few thousand dollars a month. Zane's been shortchanging him. If he comes back, we'll double whatever Zane's paying him!"

Gary thought it was a decent idea but quickly spotted the flaw. "What if he asks us why we never paid him before? How do we explain that?"
