Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 292

Bill tried to keep a straight face but failed miserably, "Even if her work had nothing to do with our data, even if she had written a big fat zero, you should've thrown some cash her way... For the boss's sake, how can you not offer a dime? And you say 'priceless'? Priceless, my foot!"

After finishing his rant, Bill turned to Everard, calculating his next move, "Just name your price, man. The boss won't let the company suffer. He'll definitely figure this out!"

The R&D manager was at a loss for words, "...What I meant was, this answer can't be measured in money! We're talking shares here!"

Bill was taken aback, it took him a moment to catch on, "Wait, are you saying my sister-in-law got it right?"

"Absolutely! The process is crystal clear, it's the textbook answer, well, now it is since I've told you. You decide on the shares! This answer is the key to the whole project..."

Bill swallowed hard, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? My sister-in-law is just an 18-year-old girl..."

"I'm positive! But an 18-year-old solving this? Did the boss help her?"

That's when it hit Bill, he whispered into the phone, "You have no idea. The way the boss acts around her, it's just embarrassing. I'm ashamed to even talk about it!"

Everard, overhearing the entire conversation, was puzzled.

He then said, "You seem pretty free lately. Why don't you join us tonight?"

Bill's legs turned to jelly, "Actually, I just remembered, I have some contracts to sign, gotta focus on making money. Boss, I'm not cut out for this kind of physical work."

Everard gave him a cold look.

Bill nearly cried, "Boss..."

Before he could finish, Skyler clapped him on the shoulder, "Come on, it's been a while since we teamed up. Just thinking about it gets my adrenaline pumping!"
