Ambush of the Quadruplets: Stay Away From This Woman

“Of course I don’t mind,” Emmeline said. “Whatever salary Mr. Ryker thinks is fair is fine with me.”

“I can’t shortchange you, though,” Abel chuckled. “Otherwise, when your parents ask, they’ll say I’m bullying a child.”

“My parents couldn’t care less about me,” Emmeline shrugged.

“Alright then, how about one hundred thousand a month?” Abel suggested. “If that’s not enough, I can always add more.”

“One hundred thousand?” Emmeline fluttered her dark lashes. “That’s way too much, Mr. Ryker. Even a few thousand a month would be amazing for an intern like me.”

“That’s settled then,” Abel said firmly.

He couldn’t afford to skimp, not with the risk of Benjamin finding out and mocking him for it.

If it wasn’t suitable, he denied it. If it was, he signed it without hesitation. For those that were somewhere in between, he called the other party to discuss and come up with a better solution.
