The Bound Between Us

Chapter 175

Herman was in a good mood, which lightened up the meeting atmosphere, making it less stuffy and serious. Heck, the meeting even ended early.

Everyone wished Mr. Salstrom could be happy-go-lucky every day so they wouldn’t have to walk on eggshells around him. Of course, they also wished Mrs. Salstrom and Mr. Salstrom were lovey-dovey. If they were good, life as their subordinates would be a piece of

cake.

Back in his office. Herman told Nelson, “Give Victor from Elysian Technologies’ jewelry company a pay bump. If he doesn’t screw up. bring him back to headquarters by year-end.”

Nelson got the hint. “Gotcha, Mr. Salstrom. I know what to do.”

Seemed like if you wanted a raise, you’d have to butter up Mrs. Salstrom.

Once Nelson stepped out, Flynn, lounging on the couch, said to Herman, “Victor’s a smart cookie. Herman, I could use some extra dough too. Maybe I can put on a better show in front of Mrs. Salstrom next time

Herman replied, “I don’t have any spare change for you, but I can hook you up with a girlfriend. Interested? My wife mentioned this morning she wanted to introduce you to Lauren from Mill’s Seasoning.”

Flynn shook his head. “Nah, she’s not my type. Too fierce, zero charm. She goes gaga over any guy with a decent body. Count me out”

Herman gave Flynn a once-over. ‘With your scrawny figure, Lauren might not want you either.”

Flynn stood up and lifted his shirt. “I may not have a six-pack, but I’ve got at least four. What’s wrong with that? Want proof?”

“I’m not into guys. Quit grossing me
