Chapter 259

Nathan hung up the phone with a smug look on his face as he watched Gerber

Gerber, however, was still skeptical.

“Did you hire someone to impersonate Penny? How the hell do you know her?”

Nathan wanted to blurt out that he was now her husband, but he knew it was a lie, and it would be

pretty embarrassing if he got busted. So, he held back from boasting.

Gerber’s gaze lingered on Nathan, his attitude softening a bit

“All right, Nathan. Til double your salary if you can convince Penny not to blow this up. You’re making

$500 a month, right? I’ll bump it up to

$1,000.

Nathan had been at this company for a while. Despite not having the same education as others, he

was pretty capable, but Gerber had been. holding him back, and he’d never gotten a raise.

In the workplace, asking about a coworker’s salary is considered impolite. He knew he was at the

bottom of the pile even though he didn’t know what others were making. His buddy, who always

complained about the boss with him, had already raised $600

Seeing Nathan’s hesitance, Gerber scoffed, “I’m offering you a hefty raise, and you are still not biting?

Look around, no other employee with your education level is getting this kind of deal.”

Nathan sucked in a deep breath, silently cussing out Gerber before finally lifting his head.

“Got it. I go talk to Penny now.”

As Gerber left, he bumped into the president of Silverstone Enterprises in the elevator. The man was

sweating bullets, complaining to his

assistant.

“What’s the deal? Why is Mr. Raymond suddenly popping in for a visit? Penny’s coming soon, too. If

Mr. Raymond and Penny cross paths, we don’t have to wait for Penny to find him and he’ll know that

The president of Silverstone Enterprises had never been in this situation before. Many domestic

companies wanted to cooperate with lan Raymond. If this project failed, Silverstone Enterprises would

definitely be ridiculed, especially since they had already announced the cooperation.

Nathan stood aside, a glint in his eyes, then spoke up respectfully,

“I know Penny. I’m about to go pick her up. I’ll try to stall her in the lobby so you can get Mr. Raymond

out of here before they bump into each other.”

The president was frantic, but seeing a low level employee chime in, he raised an eyebrow.

“All right, if you can pull that off, I’ll give you a promotion.

Nathan’s cheeks flushed with excitement. It looked like the boss was already fed up with Gerber.

If he got promoted, he would inevitably replace Gerber

No wonder Gerber had been stuck in the same position for so many years without a raise. His boss

had been looking for a chance to replace him all along.

A grin spread across Nathan’s face as he nodded eagerly.

Exiting the elevator, he saw the powerful man he had met before. The man was sitting on a couch by

the floor-to-ceiling window, his assistant standing beside him, reporting some matters. He was wearing

a Bluetooth headset, looking like he was temporarily on a conference call, which is why he hadn’t come

over immediately.

The president of Silverstone Enterprises hurried over to him, and at this moment, lan also took off his

Bluetooth headset.

“Mr. Raymond, why didn’t you give me a heads up? Welcome.”

lan was a workaholic, which was no secret at The Raymond Corporation. As long as he had time, he

would handle many things personally.
