Kimberly walked into the store and still felt uneasy to be here. Then, she asked awkwardly,

"How has the business been recently?"

The staff nodded and replied, "It's not too bad. Miss Shell, You are our boss now. However, you have never dropped by, so we have not been paid yet." Hearing this, Kimberly was stunned. She couldn't believe that the staff's salaries had been delayed all along just because the mall had a new owner.

The staff continued with teary eyes, "It's been over a week. I'm still waiting for my salary to pay my bills."

Kimberly coughed lightly and said, "Then, how should I do it? Do you want me to transfer the money to you?"

The staff shook her head, "No, no. Please head to the top floor."

Kimberly nodded and replied, "Alright, I'll go and settle it."

Kimberly then took the lift and went up to the top floor. It was very quiet compared to the mall downstairs. It felt like she had arrived at a totally different place. Stepping out of the lift, she noticed many staff members were busy with their work. They gave her a strange look and then looked away quickly.

Kimberly was very clueless as to what she should do or say, so she could only inform a random staff about her situation.

That staff heard her story and proceeded to lead her to an office.

"You can go in and ask someone for advice," the staff said.

Then, Kimberly knocked on the door and she heard a familiar female voice.

"Come in."

Kimberly pushed the door open and poked her head in, asking, "Hello?"

She was somewhat startled when she met the person's gaze.

The woman sitting in front of the desk interrupted her thoughts with a smile, "Hello, aren't you Maddox's assistant?"
