After 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. I 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.
