Claudia scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Who cares about those pennies of yours? The entire Hawk Corporation belongs to Nick. It's kind of lame of you to even hold a meeting."

I sneered. "Indeed, I haven't made much money yet, but I am curious as to what Jobs Nicholas has arranged for you since you joined the company. How much have you earned?
