Chapter 12: Chapter 12

Hames' driver drove us back to the company. As magical as it may seem, Hames made the accountant give me a $10,000 check.

I couldn't stop staring at the check, counting the number of zeros over and over again. Excitement bubbled in my stomach. If he wasn't present, I would've surely jumped on the table and screamed my lungs out in exhilaration.

"If you're done swooning over the check, you can get your things ready and let's leave." He said gruffly, hanging his suit jacket over on his shoulder, holding it with his hand, with his other hand shoved into his pocket. What was he trying to do? Pose for a photo shoot?

I pursed my lips, regaining my composure and shoved the check into my handbag. "Wait, leave?" I only heard him well enough.

He hummed a positive response. "We're done for today and I'm offering to give you a ride home since the staff bus won't be leaving soon."

"Staff bus? There's a staff bus?" My eyes popped out in shock.
