CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

After a moment of wavering, Caden made his decision and unzipped the bag. Inside, stacks of cash were neatly arranged. He dumped them out onto the table, giving a quick count to estimate the total amount. "You really thought I'd short you?" Ben laughed.

"It's not that," Caden said, shaking his head. "I just thought you'd add more than I asked. Look, I asked for $20,000, but you slipped in $24,000."
