The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 519

Charles went to visit his mother, but his mother was asleep after taking the medication.

He sighed. Not wanting to disturb his mother, he left the hospital to go back to work. If he skipped work for even one day, he might not get his full salary at the end of the month. As such, he got into the car and went to pick Stephen up. When he saw Stephen, he felt a mix of feelings.

They arrived at the office soon after, and Stephen called a meeting, asking everyone whether they had thought of a way to increase the benefits. Everyone shook their heads, including Nolan.

Hill City's economy was no longer thriving, and things were getting increasingly expensive. The people's salaries, however, were getting lower or stagnant. With the people lacking the money to survive, why would they care about the benefits?

"I'll give us more time to think of a solution. Let's end the meeting here."
