Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 80: Promotion and Raise

In the afternoon, Chloe Shaw invited her to lunch.

She said she had big news to announce.

Thea Shaw didn’t need to predict to know that she had surely been promoted.

Mrs. Sutton saw her going out again, but didn’t stop her.

Seeing Thea Shaw so lively after returning home, coupled with the recent events, Mrs. Sutton was quite happy.

Knowing she had a sister in Aethelgard, Mrs. Sutton even sent a gift with Thea Shaw for her.

Previously, an anniversary gift from a luxury brand, a brooch, which was too youthful in design for Mrs. Sutton, and too young for Aurora Sutton and the others, was just right for Thea Shaw’s sister.

This brooch was quite significant, and giving it as a gift was certainly not a loss of face.

Thea Shaw took the gift and went.

Due to the promotion, Chloe Shaw chose a five-star hotel today. This hotel was famous in Aethelgard, especially for its pot soup.

Getting a reservation wasn’t hard, but it was quite expensive.

Drinking a small pot of stew already cost a few thousand.

If it weren’t a special occasion, Chloe Shaw definitely wouldn’t have invited Thea Shaw to such places, Thea knew Chloe well enough; she was naturally frugal, and this already counted as a big expense.

When Thea Shaw arrived, she gave her the gift from Mrs. Sutton: "Mrs. Sutton said this is a gift to celebrate your promotion."

Unexpectedly, her sister’s biological mom even gave her a gift; she was a bit shocked, and seeing the expensive logo, she recognized the brand. However, for Thea Shaw’s biological mom, this likely wasn’t costly, and she accepted it casually, placing it aside, "Thank Mrs. Sutton for me."

She laughed again and said, "How did you know I called you to talk about the promotion?"

Thea Shaw took a sip of the complimentary tea from the hotel, rolling her eyes, "Nonsense, back when I secretly asked you for two hundred pocket money, you lectured me to save it, and now you’re willing to bring me here, it must be because of a promotion and raise, right?"

"Wasn’t it normal for me to lecture you about that back then?" Chloe Shaw naturally said, "At that time, two hundred bucks was a lot for you, of course I asked what for, then Mom said you were going to buy celebrity merchandise, how could I not scold you?"

Chloe Shaw focused solely on work, didn’t meddle in teenage fangirling, but she had to speak up about wasting money on it.

"That’s all in the past!"

Thea Shaw just occasionally remembered; as a crazy fan girl back then, she always wanted to buy memorabilia of her idols but had no money, so she rarely thickened her face to ask her sister for it.

Family naturally didn’t understand, and now no longer liking it, it felt nothing at all.

Chloe Shaw scolded but still gave her the money.

Mentioning the past, Chloe Shaw couldn’t help but laugh, then said, "This time, you really guessed right, I got something like a promotion and raise, though to others, maybe not."

Thea Shaw asked, "What do you mean?"

Chloe Shaw said, "Our group plans to set up a branch company, which is going to the outskirts of Aethelgard, it’s a newly developed, pretty bustling area. I’ve been transferred there as a manager, apparently a promotion, but to other colleagues, it seems like being sent to a yet-to-be-established branch company, meaning no future connections with headquarters, no prospects for advancement."

"But President Hughes said it’s a good thing, even Florence told me, if this kind of company starts well, in a few years, they’ll assign me company shares. Anyway, I’ve gone with a raise, my current monthly salary is forty thousand plus other performance bonuses, and the year-end dividend is also considerable, I’m very satisfied."

Thea Shaw was somewhat surprised, "Ms.—Florence actually told you that?"
