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

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.”

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
