She continued, “The Infinity Lab will offer you a salary advance for the next ten years. Based on preliminary calculations, the amount is estimated at four million dollars. Of course, this is just an estimate.

“The actual figure might be higher or lower depending on various factors. But that’s the amount we can offer you.”

Joli was shocked. “M–Miranda…”
