Raymond hesitated for a moment before replying, “I'm sorry | disappointed you and Mr. Dawson. There's no
special reason. | just wanted to change jobs.”
“Don’t lie to me,” Eileen shot back, her tone firm. “What's going on? If you're in trouble, | can help you.”
Before Raymond could answer, Presley approached them, arms crossed. “He works for the Deleon Group now. As
his boss, I'll help him if he needs help. Mrs. Dawson, I'd appreciate it if you don’t interfere.”
Eileen wasn't flustered by Presley's sudden arrival. Instead, she replied calmly, “Weren't you the one who
‘interfered’ when you poached him? | don’t need you to tellwhat to do.”
Presley looked at Eileen for a while and said, “You're married, and now, you're expecting a child. Shouldn't you
be taking it easy instead of sticking your nose into work matters? | suggest you don’t overexert yourself. It

threats, and sarcastic remarks Presley threw at her without batting an eye. But watching Raymond be
humiliated? She couldn't help but feel bad.
Eileen turned on her heel, brushing past Presley. She moved so quickly that she accidentally collided with
Raymond. Before Raymond could say a word, Eileen said sharply, “Are you blind? Didn't you seecoming? Get
out of my way.”
On the surface, she was saying this to Raymond, but her scorn was, in fact, aimed at Presley. She was implying
that Raymond was blind to work for someone as despicable as Presley.
As Eileen stormed away, a sense of unease washed over Raymond.
“Looks like they really value you—just look at how upset she is,” Presley said with a smug look. “Don’t worry;
when the Deleon Group grows bigger, I'll bump you up from department manager to... a higher position.”
Raymond asked without hesitation, “How much higher? Will | be like | was at EB Group with only two superiors?
Can my salary hit millions a year?”
