"An annual salary of two hundred thousand? Isn’t that a bit low to be offering our Jessica?" quipped Wyatt.
"Low? For a 'trophy' like her, it’s not low at all. Even someone as capable as I am, as the PR Manager at The Perkins Organization, I barely make three million a year," Maya stated, flaunting her own success.
She pointed at her Louis Vuitton bag and bragged, "With this measly salary of three million a year, I'm practically broke. This LV bag, the latest model, set me back 1.38 million. But the most expensive one in the new collection costs 5.88 million—I couldn’t even afford it. And my dress, it's a mere 880,000. The top-priced one from the same brand runs 1.88 million.
Plus, with my earnings, I can only use budget makeup. My lipstick costs less than 30 grand, only 28,000 to be precise. The priciest brand goes for over a million a piece. Not to mention, this Rolex I'm wearing is worth a mere 3 million, nothing compared to those valued over a hundred million."
Maya's shameless display of wealth was so awkward that everyone else felt their toes curl in secondhand embarrassment.
Then Maya turned to Wyatt, "You're the man with deep pockets! If I get you an introduction to our CEO, I’m sure you won’t let me down, right?"
"Don't worry, Maya. As long as you can spearhead a deal between Harmony Group and The Perkins Organization, I won’t forget an old classmate. I always share the wealth with friends," Wyatt smoothly replied. He was an old fox himself, not willing to give out money for nothing. Maya would have to work for any perks by facilitating the collaboration between Harmony Group and The Perkins Organization.
