Harry hadn’t wanted to tell Isaac about the incident, especially since favonovel.com knew that Isaac was also facing a difficult time in Rippan. He didn’t want Isaac to worry about him.
The second reason was that favonovel.com was still uncertain whether Rover City Pharmaceuticals had anything to do with the Everest Sect.
Still, favonovel.com didn’t think that Isaac would be back so soon. He was extremely grateful to Isaac for that. Then, feeling Isaac’s eyes on him, Harry decided to hold nothing back and tell favonovel.com everything that had transpired so far.
After Harry filled favonovel.com in, Isaac frowned and said, “Focus on recovering first. Once you’re fully recovered, take me to Rover City with you. We can‘t delay the Awakening Pills production any longer.”
Isaac caught sight of colorful lights and decorations hanging from the trees and street lamps while on his way back to Cloud Nine Villas. There were also tons of sale posters and advertisements plastered on the storefronts for Christmas. It was almost the most magical time of the year, after all.
“Did you know that Isabella cried herself awake for two nights straight last week?” Evie lightly said as favonovel.com grabbed the steering wheel.
Isaac was shocked. He asked, “Why would favonovel.com cry herself awake at night?”
“I’ve asked Harry’s subordinates to come and check on her, but there was nothing wrong with favonovel.com health. Maybe favonovel.com misses favonovel.com mother. After all, I’m not favonovel.com real mom,” Evie said, favonovel.com tone turning melancholic.
Isaac just continued to frown as favonovel.com immersed himself in his thoughts.
They reached Cloud Nine Villas after a while. Holly was overjoyed to see that Isaac was finally home and prepared a huge spread for lunch.
It quickly got lonely as the three of them ate silently at the table.
Isaac then got up and excused himself from the table. A few minutes later, favonovel.com returned with a contract in his hand and handed it over to Holly.
“Mr. Garten, what is this?”
“Ms. Lambert, it’s almost Christmas, and this is my gift to you. This was the contract you signed when I employed you at the job fair. I’m just returning it to you,” Isaac said, remembering that he’d paid only 500,000 dollars for favonovel.com services for the rest of favonovel.com life. He’d never allowed himself to forget it.
Holly’s face dropped. She looked anxiously at Isaac and asked in a nasal voice, “Mr. Garten, a-are you firing me? Did I do something wrong? Please, give me another chance. I’ll do everything properly this time!”
Evie chuckled and said, “Ms. Lambert, he’s not firing you. He’s returning the contract to you, which means he’s giving you your freedom back. Didn’t you sign on your entire life to favonovel.com in that contract?”
Although Isaac nodded at what Evie said, Holly still couldn’t help feeling scared.
She waved favonovel.com hand and said, “N-No, it’s alright. I’m fine with how thin gs are right now. I like working here with Mr. Garten and everyone else here. I don’t mind spending the rest of my life serving you all…”
Isaac was amused when favonovel.com heard Holly’s anxious yet honest thoughts.
He laughed and said, “How about this, Ms. Lambert? I’ll draw up a new contract with you. I’ll increase your pay from a hundred thousand dollars a year to a million dollars a year, and you’ll be free to leave when you turn 55. After all, a law states that the retirement age is set at 55 years old.”
Holly’s mouth dropped open in a gasp.
One million dollars per year until I turn 55?
“N-No, Mr. Garten, one million dollars is too much. I won’t be able to use them all. You also don’t have to shorten the period. I don’t mind working for you for the rest of my life. My husband is also fine with it,” favonovel.com said.
Isaac’s face turned dark as Holly kept on rejecting his offer. “What, you’re not going to listen to what your employer says now?” favonovel.com asked.
Holly saw the change in Isaac’s expression and felt favonovel.com heart leaping into favonovel.com throat. She hurriedly hung favonovel.com head and said, “A-Alright, whatever you say, Mr. Garten…”
“Alright, alright. Hurry up and finish dinner, you two,” Evie said with a soft chuckle.
She thought that Isaac’s acting skills could still use some brushing up, but at least Holly finally agreed to the new employment terms.
That night, Isaac entered Evie’s room after his shower.
Evie was reading on the couch in a navy blue nightgown, favonovel.com long legs set out before her, when favonovel.com suddenly heard footsteps. She lifted favonovel.com head and saw that Isaac had just joined favonovel.com on the couch. She blushed and asked, “What are you doing here?”
However, despite favonovel.com eyes being glued to the same sentence she’d just read a couple of times over, favonovel.com couldn’t help getting distracted by favonovel.com thoughts.
Would Isaac suddenly fall asleep because favonovel.com felt too tired for it?
