Gazing at Stella, he inquired, “Do you have any concerns about your bonus?”
Keeping a straight face, Stella replied curtly, “I received a bonus of two hundred thousand last night, yet I wasn’t involved in the Fairwa project’s planning. Is this bonus warranted?”
She rattled off her words, desiring to wrap up the conversation and exit the office as swiftly as possible.
The mere presence of Matthew reminded her of last night’s awkwardness, making her increasingly uncomfortable.

“You’ve earned that bonus,” Matthew responded calmly.
After a brief pause, he elaborated, “During our field visit to Fairwa, I considered your input. Your advice contributed to the project’s success. Hence, your substantial contribution.”
Stella’s brows furrowed.
“But two hundred thousand seems excessive.”
“This project is projected to yield billions in profit,” Matthew responded, unfazed.
Stella’s expression turned to one of astonishment. She had not foreseen such a figure.
“Still think two hundred thousand is too much?” Matthew questioned.
Stella was at a loss for words.
On second thought, she realized that compared to a multi-million dollar project, two hundred thousand was indeed a drop in the bucket.
Shaking her head, she said, “Then, I have no more issues with it.
Thank you, Mr. Clark, for clarifying. I won’t take up any more of your time.”

Wishing to exit as quickly as possible, Stella turned around.
However, Matthew halted her.
“Hold on.”
A sense of nervousness crept over Stella, but she maintained a polite demeanor.
“Is there anything else?”
Matthew hesitated momentarily.
“About last night…”
Stella interrupted him.
“Mr. Clark, you had too much to drink last night. It would be prudent to moderate your alcohol consumption at social events to maintain a professional image.” Her tone was calculated, mirroring the cautiousness she had exhibited in her prior public relations role.
