The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 1304:

Hank slid into the seat beside Ellie. “Ellie, your husband is a vice president at his company, right? Could you ask him to let me work there? I’m family, after all. Surely, he could offer me a million a year. My current job is a slog, with pitiful pay. And your shop is hiring, isn’t it? Mattie could work there. She’s reliable, and you can pay her well. You’re doing so well for yourself; help us out a bit…”

A flicker of irritation crossed Ellie’s face. Hank always dreamed too big, brushing off small opportunities and never able to hold on to anything larger. More than a year had passed since graduation, and he’d already bounced between multiple jobs without committing to any.

Mattie, in contrast, had her feet firmly on the ground. Since finishing school, she had kept a steady position at the same company, though her salary was modest.

The thought occurred to Ellie that her new store could use extra hands, and Mattie might be a good fit. “Alright, Mattie can join me at the store. I’ll start her at ten thousand a month, plus commissions and bonuses. By the end of the year, that adds up to a solid income. As for you, Hank, stay where you are. My husband’s company only hires postgraduates and PhDs. There’s nothing there that suits you.”

Hank’s face soured. “Ellie, isn’t your husband the vice president there? He can pull strings for me. Who cares about degrees? Even if I only finished elementary school, if he wanted me there, who’d dare complain? If you’re too embarrassed to ask him, I’ll do it myself!”
