Taking a deep breath, Wesley stood up and said earnestly, "I am willing to accept your offer. I promise to do my best in this job."
Carla replied with equal seriousness, "Mr. Donovan, I believe in you, and so does our company."
She then took the employment contract from her briefcase, opened it, and placed it on the table. "The company has signed the contract. Once you sign it, you'll be our General Manager. As for your start date, it's up to you, but we hope it's within a week."
After carefully reviewing the contract, Wesley nodded. "I'll take a day to rest at home and report to work the day after tomorrow."
"Great!" Carla looked pleased. "Call me before you report, and I'll assist you with the onboarding process."
Ten minutes later, Carla shook hands with Wesley and sincerely said, "Welcome to Bard Property, Mr. Donovan."
"Thank you," Wesley replied in a grateful tone.
He was about to invite Carla to dinner that evening as a gesture of gratitude when she took out a car key from her briefcase and placed it on the table. "According to company policy, the General Manager is provided with a car. The one parked outside the villa is assigned to you. Feel free to use it as you wish."
The Donovan family was once again stunned. They had just bought a grand villa at a ridiculously cheap price, been offered a high-paying job, and now received a car.
Before they could respond, Carla said with a grin, "I've completed my tasks and need to head back to the office. Goodbye, everyone." She made a swift exit, practically bolting out the door.
They chased after her to the gate but Carla had already left in a security patrol car. As Wesley watched the car drive into the distance, he was deep in thought.
"Ouch, it hurts! I'm not dreaming, am I?" Arthur pinched his own cheek and then cupped his face with his hand.
Claire and Maria were amused by him, no longer bewildered.
"Since the villa is so clean and well-equipped, how about we move in tonight?" Athena suggested to her family.
"Tonight?" Everyone was surprised. "That's too soon, isn't it?"
"I don't think so," Athena said seriously. "I feel like the attention on our family hasn't died down yet. If we continue to stay in the old place, we might be photographed or harassed again."
Thinking about the recent troubles they had faced, everyone shuddered and looked at Wesley. He quickly snapped out of his daze and said decisively, "I think it's a good idea. Come on, let's choose our rooms now. Ladies first, then Arthur, and Claire and I will pick last."
The family of six walked back to the living room to head upstairs.
"Athena, wait a moment," Claire suddenly called out.
Athena stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her.
Claire took out a piece of paper from her bag, holding it out to her with both hands. "This is an IOU from your father and me, as we discussed. You need to keep it safe," Claire said in a serious tone. "But even if you lose the IOU, we'll still honor the agreement."
"Oh," Athena murmured, remembering their discussion. She glanced at the paper and was about to slip it into her bag when she noticed something. "Mom, Dad, there's a mistake. You wrote the amount as 1.2 million," she said, her brows furrowing slightly.
Carla replied with equal seriousness, "Mr. Donovan, I believe in you, and so does our company."
