Olivia thought she wasn’t good at math.
The calculations Emily had just done weren't that complicated, but why was she only now getting it?
Emily continued, "And have you noticed that every time you and Lucas get close, Allen quickly calls you away?"
Olivia frowned, looking annoyed. "He just wants me to work more."
"But why doesn't he call anyone else, only you? Even if he needs someone to work, isn’t Amanda more capable?"
"Emily, I’m a bit slow," Olivia scratched her head, holding Emily’s hand. "Are you saying Allen Parker is actually nice to me?"
Emily nodded. "Of course he is. I see it clearly from the side."
Olivia still didn’t believe it. "But... he's so annoying..."
"What do you find annoying about him?"
"For example, he deducts my pay and has kept me on an intern salary for a long time."
Emily nodded, speaking gently, "But if he had offered you a really high salary right from the start, say ten thousand dollars a month, would you have dared to take it?"
