Shermaine hastily explained, "No, I’ve never seen this much money in my entire life! It’s just that I simply don’t need the money.”

Odell frowned.

Shermaine smiled. “Drawing is just a passion for me. My profession is in administration. I…I’d like to find a new administrative position with growth potential. I want to stop working for a small company.”

Cliff's eyes glowed up. “That will be easy.”
