The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 806

If Zane hadn't played him that recording earlier, Casper might have believed Gary's sincerity.

Casper replied, "Is it?"

"He's just using you to make money for him!" Gary said firmly.

Casper couldn't help but laugh. "So what? Did you think Zane hired me just to hand me a salary or do me a favor? He's not an idiot. He'd never do something that stupid."

Gary was speechless, unable to formulate a rebuttal. After a long pause, he finally said, "But he's underpaying you! If you come back, we'll give you a raise!"

"No thanks," Casper replied flatly.

Gary continued, sweetening the deal, "We'll even pay you back for all the wages we owe you from before!"

Gary and Julia had fooled Casper for years, and now he felt it was only fair to reclaim what he was owed.

"If you're really that sincere, why don't you start by paying me what you owe from when I worked for you? Otherwise, it's hard to believe you," Casper said.

Gary glanced at Julia with uncertainty. If they gave the money to Casper, they'd lose any leverage over him. What were they supposed to do now?

Julia whispered, "Just agree for now. Once he comes back, we'll transfer the money to him in person."

Gary repeated her words to Casper.
