Chapter 1488 A Counteroffer
But then I can’t leave. If I do, I may not have an opportunity anymore!
Sally stood outside the entrance of the building, seething as she glowered at the magnificent revolving glass door.
This position doesn’t even allow me to step foot into the building. It’s far worse than being an intern at Seet Group as I expected! I initially thought that only the impish Juan is despicable, but I never thought that even Kyle, who’s all aloof and unsmiling, with a layer of frost on his face, would also turn out to be so reprehensible. No, I can’t be a watchdog! I’ve got to go and confront him!
After making inquiries and learning that Kyle’s general manager’s office was on the sixth floor, she made her way there in a fit of rage.
Just when she raised her hand to knock on the door, she heard someone talking in the room.
Perking up her ears, she realized that it was Juan’s voice.
Not only was he telling Kyle about her embarrassed expression as she stood at the entrance, but he even lauded the man for his ingenuity.
As Sally listened to the conversation, she grew all the more inflamed. She raised her hand and pounded on the door.
“Who is it? Come in!” Juan snapped.
The door was pushed open, and Sally stalked in, her gaze alternating between Juan and Kyle.
“Oh, it’s you? You should stay at your post during working hours and do your job. What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to ask why the position of door attendant exists. Does it exist because of me?”
“It’s just a coincidence that you came at this time. I’ve been planning to create that position for some time now, but there was no suitable candidate. You’re just right for it.”
“I didn’t come to Seet Group to be a watchdog!”
“Indeed! You came to Seet Group for some ulterior motive!” Juan retorted.
“How dare you?” Sally shot him a glare before turning her gaze on Kyle.
Putting down the pen in his hand, Kyle regarded her solemnly. “It’s okay if you don’t want this position. Our deal at Maupay Manor yesterday still stands. As long as you tell me your motive in approaching the Seet family and what it has to do with saving your father, I’ll arrange a different position for you.”
Sally abruptly went silent.
My motive… I couldn’t tell him that day, and I still can’t tell him right now.
Noticing her hesitance, Kyle continued, “Stick with keeping watch at the entrance if you don’t want to say it. When you feel like telling me, feel free to seek me out anytime.”
“I can tell you anytime, but do you think it means anything if I were to simply make up some lie? Therefore, how about I make you a counteroffer?”
“What’s your counteroffer?”
“I don’t mind working without any pay.”
“That only further proves that you’ve got an ulterior motive and malicious intentions!” Juan looked her up and down, his gaze intent.
At that, Sally chuckled. “There’s no free lunch in this world. You naturally have to pay the price after getting an employee who works for free! The cost is that my existence poses a threat to your company. Do you dare take that risk? Actually, the two of you should have confidence in yourselves. Considering your intelligence and wit, I can’t do anything much right under your noses. Why would you be afraid of a weak woman like me?”
Crossing his arms, Juan eyeballed her. “You’re no weak woman. You’re a cunning con woman! Besides, there’s no need for us to keep a ticking time bomb like you at Seet Group just to save that paltry sum!”
“Okay, I’ll give you something else. Let me stay at Seet Group, and I’ll give you a treasure map.”
“What treasure map? Don’t tell me you’re trying to fool us with some worthless piece of paper?”
“Hmph! I’m sure you still remember about me using Seet Group to deal with Muir Group and Patrick Muir’s adopted son. As such, you’ve probably heard that his adopted son set his sights on me not just because I’m pretty. More importantly, he coveted my treasure. I do have a treasure, and it’s none other than a treasure map.”
Both Juan and Kyle were dumbfounded.
They looked at each other, recalling that such a rumor indeed existed.
Back then, Juan had asked her about the treasure, but Sally had prevaricated that she couldn’t possibly have any treasure since she was an orphan.
Could it be that the rumor back then was true, and she really has a treasure in the form of a treasure map?
