Fane took another sip of the wine, slowly. "I've only given you ten minutes. It’s already a minute!" Sonia looked at the time again.
A smile on his face, Fane pulled out his phone and dialed the number Tanya gave to him this afternoon. H e put the phone on loudspeaker mode.
An employee glanced at the number and exclaimed loudly.
"He’s calling Miss Tanya!”
The call was soon answered. On the other end of the phone was heard the voice of Tanya. "Fane? Has something happened? Why did you think of calling m e tonight?"
"Nothing happened, Miss Tanya, I just want to confirm something. Is my pay 20 million per month?"
A small smile appeared on Fane's face and he sipped the wine once more.
"Yes. What’s the matter? You don't think it’s too little, d o you?"
Tanya was obviously a little puzzled on the other end o f the line. "Don't worry. During New Year, my grandpa said that we won't miss out on your 20 million bonus. I t should be enough if you don't squander them, right?" she added.
Everybody else was completely shocked by Tanya's negotiating tone. She not only sounded unassertive, but she has also asked Fane if the amount given was too little. My lord, how was this the way and the tone o f speaking to a bodyguard?
"Oh, it’s not too little. I just wanted to make sure. Sorry for disturbing you!"
Fane gently tapped on his phone screen, hung up the call, and raised his head to look at Sonia. "My precious Miss Neal, this is Miss Tanya's voice, am I right? It's 20 million, am I correct?"
Embarrassment was written across her face. Her head was buzzing loudly. A bodyguard had a salary of 20 million a month? What was wrong with this Drake family?
"Yes. It’s 20 million. I didn't expect your salary to be so high!"
Sonia squeezed a smile, awkwardly so. Her voice trembled.
As she looked at the glass before her, she immediately poured a full glass of red wine and lifted it. "My apologies, Fane. I underestimated you. For that, I’ll drink this glass as punishment!" she said to Fane.
