Love's Redemption

Redmption 261



Xander's amiability at that moment felt more like a friend's than a

superior's to me.

I returned his smile while asking Brandon, "You seem to be on the same wavelength as him. For the first time, I saw an employee eating with their bos

As I spoke, I recalled Derick saying that the person supporting Xander had "Howell" as their last name. I had to do something about my

suspicions.

"Mr. Roulder bought me a meal to know more about me. After all..." -Brandon paused for a moment before continuing, "A three million annual salary isn't little."

I was stunned. That was his annual salary? I didn't know how capable he was until then.

"What's wrong? Do you think I'm not worth that?" He was straightforward.

I tugged at my lips. "No... What was your salary at your previous company?"

“30 thousand dollars per month." I was speechless at his answer.

Xander had offered him ten times the amount.

"Mr. Roulder is... decisive." That was all I could say in the face of Brandon's questioning expression.

“I actually asked for that amount, but I didn't expect Mr. Roulder to say yes,” he explained.

I chuckled dryly. "He's desperate for talent." Then, I added, "But you're brave for doing that, Brandon." Even in Gildon Corporation, that was the estimated range of salaries for the vice president positions. "That's my worth. Besides, I need money to marry my wife." His words. made my cheeks flush.

I cleared my throat and quickly started the car, changing the topic. "Where are you heading? I'll drop you off."

"What about you?" He diverted the question back to me.

"I'll return to the company after I drop you off."

"Mr. Roulder said he's given you a half-day leave so we can hang."

I burst out laughing. "Since when did he become so nice?"

Just ask him if you don't believe me." Immediately after, I received a text message from Xander, granting me half-day leave.

I smiled helplessly. "Wow, Mr.

Howell. You got the boss to grant

you all sorts of wishes before you

even started the job. Are you

friends... or perhaps business

partners with Mr. Roulder?

Brandon stayed silent and simply looked at me. I stared back at him but soon found myself dismissing my thoughts.

Nevertheless, it was highly

suspicious that Xander was so

friendly with Brandon, and that

another Howell member was behind the company. Suddenly, a thought popped into my head.

"Brandon, do you have any other siblings? Perhaps a wealthy brother?"

"Ellie is my only sibling."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

I pursed my lips. "What about any rich relatives with the same family name?"

“I have relatives, but they're just ordinary employees, far from being wealthy." Brandon's answer made me feel like I'd hit a brick wall.

Perhaps it was all a big coincidence. At that point, I noticed I was someone of many suspicions.

I suspected Zack because of a

contract and similarly suspected

Brandon, because Xander's investor shared the same last name as

Brandon. I was at a loss for words at myself.

"Did you go to the police station?" Brandon suddenly spoke.

I instinctively denied it. "No." I had been an obedient girl since childhood. Why would I have been to the police station?

The next second, he asked, "What's with the molesting incident then?"
