Larissa told him what happened in the conference room in an exaggerated manner. Finally, she got to the point. “Marilyn has been so helpful to me. Can we give her a raise?”

“Sure.” As long as it didn’t involve Kevan, Gary always agreed to Larissa’s requests, will inform the HR department later. Marilyn’s salary will be raised by 10%.”

Larissa glanced at Lewis and said proudly. “With Lewis around, what difficulties could I possibly have?”

“That’s good to know.” Gary seemed relieved. “You know that my health is declining. Dr. Smith has been telling me for years to step down and rest.
