Chapter 1557

“It’s probably because I attended your brother’s wedding that everyone at the branch office has ideas about your brother. Some are trying to suck up to me by promoting your brother, while others are worried that his rapid promotion might threaten their own interests. So, your brother’s been getting stuck with overtime and socializing lately.” Charlie explained patiently.
