The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game
Chatper 148
Chapter 148
At night, Calvin and Daisy lay in bed, wide awake and unable to sleep at all.
“Calvin, Daisy’s voice broke the silence, ‘did you ever ask your colleagues if they also get so many holiday bonuses?”
Calvin pondered for a moment before replying, “I didn’t ask. Yara made a point of telling me that discussing salaries is a taboo at the company, Apparently, it’s the same with the holiday bonuses.”
Daisy exhaled sharply. “I guess it’s not unusual for big companies to have such rules. But what do you think Jocelyn is really worried about?”
“She probably thinks the bonus was too generous.’
“It definitely was,” Daisy agreed, then added thoughtfully. “If that assistant hadn’t given you the raffle ticket, she would have been the one to win the big prize. Do you think she’s feeling unbalanced?”
Calvin furrowed his brow, “When she told me I’d won the grand prize, she made it clear that the bonus would be deposited directly into my payroll account. She didn’t seem unhappy about it.”
The old couple pondered over Jocelyn’s words, sensing something off about the situation.
What kind of luck was this? How had it fallen into their lap?
Daisy pressed her fingers against her temples, “My eyelids are twitching fiercely.”
“Do you think our previous guesses make sense?” Calvin stroked his chin. “Mr. Martinez and Jocelyn… but, they couldn’t possibly know each other, could they?”
The only possibility Calvin could think of was far-fetched, yet he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something between his daughter and his boss.
“Maybe we should ask Jocelyn directly?” Daisy felt increasingly uneasy about the whole affair.
“It’s too late now. We’ve got to head back to the countryside tomorrow. We can ask her on the way.” Calvin settled back down. “After what Jocelyn said, I feel like that money is burning a hole in my pocket. We should retum it when we find the right moment.”
Daisy agreed as she lay down, “Yes, it’s too much. A couple thousand might be reasonable, but twenty thousand? No boss in their right. mind gives away that much without reason. Once you’re back at work, you should return it.”
“Right.”
They sighed deeply, finally closing their eyes to sleep.
The next day, Jocelyn prepared an early breakfast, then hailed a cab to the train station to buy tickets home.
