Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 948

"In all fairness, the drop in sales isn't my fault. I'm swamped!"

In the bustling office of S Corporation, Adler looked pleadingly at Sophie and Colby, "I'm doing the work of three people here! It's impossible to keep up. Plus, for some reason, we've had a bizarre number of clients wanting to terminate their contracts early. I've been running around like a headless chicken, attending meetings domestically and internationally. You've got to cut me some slack."

Jenna chimed in confidently from the side, "I can vouch for him! He's been working himself to the bone in the office these past few days, looking every bit the weary warrior. It's not a lack of skill on his part. It's just that the competition is too fierce for him to handle alone."

"Exactly!" Feeling vindicated by Jenna's words, Adler perked up, "Jenna's hit the nail on the head! Colby, you still owe me a bonus, by the way!"

Colby, who was sitting across on a sofa pouring water for Sophie, replied, "You'll have to ask my wife for that. In our house, she's the one who holds the purse strings."

"You!"

Just as Adler was about to leap up in protest, Sophie pulled out a card and tossed it into Adler's hands, saying, "Here, this is for your hard work."

"You always know best!" Adler examined the card and frowned, "Huh? Isn't this from Summerfield Bank? How much is in here?"
