Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 164

Kimberly walked into the store and still felt uneasy to be here. Then, she asked awkwardly,

"How has the business been recently?"

The staff nodded and replied, "It's not too bad. Miss Shell, You are our boss now. However, you have never dropped by, so we have not been paid yet."

Hearing this, Kimberly was stunned. She couldn't believe that the staff's salaries had been delayed all along just because the mall had a new owner.

The staff continued with teary eyes, "It's been over a week. I'm still waiting for my salary to pay my bills."

Kimberly coughed lightly and said, "Then, how should I do it? Do you want me to transfer the money to you?"

The staff shook her head, "No, no. Please head to the top floor."

Kimberly nodded and replied, "Alright, I'll go and settle it."

Kimberly then took the lift and went up to the top floor. It was very quiet compared to the mall downstairs. It felt like she had arrived at a totally different place.

Stepping out of the lift, she noticed many staff members were busy with their work. They gave her a strange look and then looked away quickly.

Kimberly was very clueless as to what she should do or say, so she could only inform a random staff about her situation.

That staff heard her story and proceeded to lead her to an office.

"You can go in and ask someone for advice," the staff said.

Then, Kimberly knocked on the door and she heard a familiar female voice.

"Come in."

Kimberly pushed the door open and poked her head in, asking, "Hello?"

She was somewhat startled when she met the person's gaze.

The woman sitting in front of the desk interrupted her thoughts with a smile, "Hello, aren't you Maddox's assistant?"

It was Sister Crystal, the girl who had helped with her makeup the other day.

Sister Crystal stood up from her seat and headed towards Kimberly. She leaned on the door with her arms crossed and said, "You're finally here. I have been waiting for a long time for you to show up."

Kimberly echoed dumbly, "You have been waiting for me?"

Sister Crystal replied, "Yes. Our shopping mall suddenly has a new owner. As an employee, of course, I am curious and eager to meet our new boss. I didn't expect it to be you."

Kimberly asked cautiously, "How did you know?"

Sister Crystal smiled and answered, "It's a secret." She then turned around and walked inside, saying, "You're here to check the account, aren't you? I've sorted out the recent accounts. Shall I email them to you?"

"No, there's no need." Kimberly faltered, "I'm just speaking for the employees downstairs. Their salaries have been delayed for a week. They seem to be quite anxious."

Sister Crystal snorted, "Tsk, they're not the only ones who are anxious. My salary has been delayed too."

Kimberly was confused, "How could this happen?"

Sister Crystal answered matter- of- factly, "We're waiting for you to sign and approve of our salaries, New Boss."

Sister Crystal put the salary form in front of her and said, "Take a look. You may sign it if you have no issue with it."

Kimberly took the form in a daze and looked at it, somewhat puzzled.

She mumbled, "Urn..."

Sister Crystal suddenly added, "By the way, this bank card is for you. The password is your birthday."

Kimberly was speechless.

She took the bank card and stared at it. She was still dumbfounded at the entire situation.

She didn't know what was going on. She didn't understand why she was suddenly given a bank card. "The bank account contains the shopping mall's profit for this month," Sister Crystal explained.

Later, Kimberly went to a nearby bank to check the balance in the account. Upon finding out that there was nearly tens of millions of dollars in it, she was startled and almost threw the card away in shock.

So, she went back to Sister Crystal's office.
