GoodReadAfter all, Mornet Corporation had invested a lot of money in that company.
Because Scarlett went to bed early last night, she got up early this morning. Then she arrived at Mornet Corporation at 8:45 am.
Scarlett hadn't arrived yet, but Katherine had already thoughtfully put the papers in order of urgency on Scarlett's desk.

Scarlett picked up a file and read it. She was halfway through the file when Katherine came in. "Ms. Reed, good morning.” Scarlett looked up at Katherine and smiled slightly. "Good morning, Katherine." Scarlett said, with a slight pause. "That's a beautiful necklace." Katherine glanced down at the necklace on her chest and felt a little embarrassed." Thank you, Ms. Reed." Seeing Katherine's reaction, Scarlett couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "You look so nervous. Did your boyfriend give you that?" Katherine was very considerate and capable and was thirty years old this year. She had been Scarlett's secretary for almost eight years. However, in the past eight years, Scarlett had never seen her in love.
Katherine, who had always been thoughtful, nodded her head and was embarrassed. "Yes." "Congratulations." Scarlett laughed lightly. "To celebrate you're in a relationship. I'll give you a raise. Your original monthly salary was eighty thousand dollars. I'll raise your monthly salary to ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine dollars. | hope you two can live happily ever after." Katherine didn't expect her monthly salary to increase by nearly 20,000 dollars because of being in a relationship. For a moment, she couldn't stop smiling. "Thank you, Ms. Reed." "Don't mention it. You deserve it." Katherine was very touched. In fact, her salary had gone up quickly. When she first became Scarlett's secretary, she wasn't earning much each month. After all, she had just graduated then. Her salary went up from $8,000 a month to $80,000 a month. Now, her monthly salary had suddenly risen by nearly $20,000. During the years she worked here, Scarlett also gave her stock options. With the year-end bonus and year-end dividends, her annual salary was now close to three million dollars.
She was a little excited to think about it.
As a qualified senior secretary, Katherine only allowed herself to be excited for a second, then she collected her thoughts and started talking business with Scarlett." Ms. Reed, the document in your hand is an acquisition proposal that the company evaluated last week." Scarlett nodded. "You can make the decision." She said, turning to the last page of the document and signing it.
Scarlett never used people who made her suspicious.
Watching Scarlett turn to the end of the document and sign it, Katherine was very emotional. Over the years, Katherine has solved many affairs on behalf of Scarlett. There had always been employees who said Scarlett was stupid, was a hands-off boss, and was not worried about Katherine trying to take her place. If that happened, the company Scarlett had worked so hard to build would become Katherine's.

Scarlett hadn't heard about it. As the idiom went, "Those in power are very suspicious.” Katherine had been Scarlett's secretary for eight years. However, Scarlett never doubted Katherine when she assigned tasks to Katherine, even if Katherine would make mistakes sometimes.
Scarlett saw that Katherine remained silent and could not help but say, "What? Are you scared because | gave you a pay rise?" Hearing Scarlett's words, Katherine hurriedly came back to her senses, shook her head, and asked tentatively, "Ms. Reed, are you really not going to look at it anymore?" Scarlett knew what Katherine was thinking as soon as she heard Katherine say that. Then, she suddenly laughed." What are you thinking? Katherine, if you really wanted to take action against me, you wouldn't have waited until now.” The best time for Katherine to take action against Scarlett was when everyone didn't know who Suny was.
Katherine also realized that she was being stupid. "I'm sorry, Ms. Reed." "You're sorry for what? You didn't do anything wrong." Scarlett grinned, glancing at her watch. " Okay. Let's go to the meeting."
