Seeing Dominic’s cold smile, Jewel felt irritation flare, but she restrained herself instead of lashing out.
She took a deep breath, rose to her feet, and said, “Come to my office for a moment p>
“I’m not going.” Dominic shook his head calmly and began packing his things.
His attitude only fueled her anger. “You p>
Still, she kept her goal in mind and forced the anger down. She pressed a hand to her chest, drew another breath, and managed a faint smile. “Dominic, about what happened yesterday. We did have some differences, but I think we need a private space to clear up this misunderstanding p>
Dominic lifted his head and glanced at her, open disdain written across his face. “Differences? A misunderstanding? Miss Wright, I really have to admire your way with words p>
The two of them had essentially fallen out the day before. In a workplace setting, that kind of rupture was usually beyond repair.
Even if she offered extremely generous terms, Dominic would not stay.
Seeing that he would not budge, Jewel clenched her teeth. Ignoring the eyes around them, she grabbed his arm and dragged him
toward her office.
Dominic had not expected that. Caught off guard, he stumbled and was pulled along.
Once he recovered, he shook her off and frowned. “What exactly are you trying to do p>
“Just come in first. I’ll tell you,” Jewel said.
Dominic considered it for a moment, then followed her inside. He wanted to see what she was plotting.
What could have happened in a single day to cause such a drastic change in her attitude?
Inside the office, Jewel closed the door. “Dominic, let’s pretend yesterday never happened. You’re still an employee of JewelMed, and I’ll make you Sales Department Manager p>
The words stunned him.
Something was clearly wrong. He asked evenly, “Why p>
Jewel inhaled and spoke with deliberation. “How did you get to know Ms. Palmer p>
‘Ms. Palmer p>
Dominic paused, then immediately understood. “You mean Andriana p>
“Yes, yes,” Jewel said, nodding quickly.
“What about her p>
Unable to hide it, Jewel briefly explained how Andriana had come in earlier that day to discuss cooperation.
As he listened, realization dawned on Dominic.
“So that’s it.” He let out a short laugh. “I was wondering why you felt like a completely different person today. Turns out you only move when real profit is on the line p>
Jewel’s expression changed. “What do you mean p>
“Am I wrong?” Dominic replied coolly. “You even took Autumn’s video and used it to trade benefits with Isabella. You’re someone who puts profit above everything else p>

“You…” Jewel’s face darkened further. She had not expected him to see her that way!
Worse, she had no way to deny it.

After a long breath, she said flatly, “Fine. Let’s not talk about the past. What matters now is the collaboration with Ms. Palmer. As long as you help me, I’ll promote you to manager and add a 300,000 dollar bonus p>
“300,000 dollars?” Dominic asked, genuinely surprised. “That much p>
Jewel sneered inwardly, though her expression remained composed. “JewelMed won’t mistreat its employees p>
Dominic let out a sharp laugh. “That White Cosmos No. 1 from Cosmos Laboratory. Based on what you just said, even a conservative estimate puts the profit at no less than 2 billion dollars once it launches. And you want to pay me 300,000? How generous p>
Jewel was left speechless.
Dominic continued, “Miss Wright, you’re so used to dazzling people with big words that you think everyone else is an idiot p>
He stood and prepared to leave.
“Wait…” Jewel reached out and grabbed him.
Dominic glanced down at her hand, his voice cold. “Let go p>
With her attitude, he had no interest in cooperating.
Jewel bit her lip. “Dominic, Mr. Palmer’s cooperation is extremely important to me. To JewelMed. You know our partnership with the Garcia Group is about to end. I don’t think you want JewelMed to collapse either. And for Abigail, Daniel, and the others, finding another suitable job won’t be easy p>
