Chapter 60: The Name You Mustn’t Search

Soon, a low buzz of conversation spread across the room.

"I got promoted to Senior Manager!" one employee whispered excitedly. "What about you?"

"No, I’m in the same position. But congratulations!" another replied.

"I even get a transportation allowance now!"

"That’s awesome! My salary increased too... but what’s with this confidentiality agreement?"

A small group gathered to discuss it.

"I heard about this," someone said confidently. "My cousin works at Heimdall. They all have to sign strict confidentiality agreements."

"What’s your agreement value?" another asked.

"One million pounds," he replied, grinning.

"What? Mine’s five million! But we’re at the same level in the company!"

"Maybe it’s because you work in Finance. Higher risk of sensitive information leaking."

Across the room, another employee raised his hand to call a lawyer over.

"Excuse me," he said. "Some of us are confused. Why do people in the same role have different confidentiality penalties?"

The lawyer smiled professionally. "Thank you for your question. Please be patient. After everyone has received their documents, we’ll provide a general briefing and answer all your queries."
