NovelEnglishChapter 184 Sawyer's heart plummeted.
He hesitated for a moment, then tried to bargain, his tone almost pleading. "How about nine million?" Carlotta didn't miss a beat. "Mr. Iverson, don't try to haggle with me. Your family's stock price has tanked so badly even your own mother wouldn't recognize it. Do I look like an idiot to you?" "Fine. Deal," Sawyer finally managed, wincing at the words.
He nodded, resignation clear on his face.
In the CICI Group's executive office suite, Citrine was busy leading Travis and a few others through another online game. The door was ajar, so after finishing her call, Carlotta stepped right in.
She saw Citrine completely absorbed in the game, her face cycling through a kaleidoscope of intense and animated expressions. Carlotta held back a laugh- no one would ever guess she was looking at the company's CEO. If anything, Citrine looked more like a college gamer girl than the head of a major corporation.

If Carlotta hadn't witnessed Citrine's almost superhuman abilities and her impressive network of connections firsthand, she would have been tempted to ask: *Aren't you worried the company will go under if you spend all day gaming?* Two minutes later, as soon as Citrine finished her match, Carlotta finally spoke up. "Boss, it's done just like you predicted." Carlotta had been worried Sawyer might refuse, but things had played out exactly as Citrine had said they would.
Her boss really was uncannily prescient.
"Well done," Citrine replied, entirely unsurprised. It was as if everything had unfolded exactly according to her plan.
After a pause, Citrine suddenly looked up at her. "So, what kind of reward would you like?" "Reward?" Carlotta's eyes widened in shock.
Wasn't doing your job just... part of the job? You got a reward for that? She felt like an absolute rookie.
To be fair, this was her first tworking for a big company, and she still wasn't used to the perks.
Her mind flashed back to her old job, where she'd busted her tail for peanuts- barely enough to scrape by-while doing the work of three people, cleaning the office on top of everything else, and constantly dodging her sleazy boss's advances.
Compared to that, her life now felt like paradise.
Carlotta genuinely didn't want anything more.
Moved, she looked at Citrine and declared, "Boss, I don't want any reward. As long as I can keep working here, that's all I want." CICI Group paid well, offered flexible hours, great benefits, and even provided meals and housing. It was the kind of company she'd happily devote her whole life to.

"You may not want a reward, but I insist," Citrine said, a rare smile breaking across her face. In her past ve! life and this one, she'd never met someone so genuinely selfless.
"You've worked hard these past few days."
"How about this: effective today, your salary's going up to $6,000 a month.Plus, the company's giving you a $1,000 bonus this month, and you can take three extra days off to visit your brother at the hospital."
Citrine had noticed everything Carlotta had done lately, and shen wasn't about to let that dedication go unrewarded. "Six thousand? Oh my god!" Carlotta's jaw dropped as emotion welled up inside her.
She'd already been earning three grand a month-now her pay had just doubled overnight.
It felt like she'd just been hit by a tidal wave of good fortune.
Heavens, what did she ever do to deserve a boss like Citrine? Carlotta silently vowed that from this day forward, she'd treat the company like her own family.
