My Boss Wants Me To Pay The $50,000 Bill

Suddenly, Cathy stood up in agitation and pointed at me. “Chloe, how can you be so selfish?

“The colleagues and I just want to share a bit of your luck, but you make it look like we’re taking advantage of you!

“You can just treat us to a cheap meal to show your sincerity. Did you think we’re greedy enough to ask you for a lavish feast?

“Honestly, you should be honored that you’re lucky to be able to win and treat us to a meal!”

That sounded nice and all. In the past, they had said the same thing, but when I paid the bill in the end, I had spent $56,000.

Deducting $6,000 from the prize, I had to pay an extra $50,000 by myself. I even lost my life in the end.

With the painful experience of my past, I naturally could not trust Cathy’s sweet words.

When I thought about it, I could not wait to tear Cathy’s pretentious face into pieces.

I looked at Cathy coldly. “I can’t accept this. I don’t want the prize anymore. I’ll just give it to you. Can’t I just let you be the boss today?”

Cathy’s expression instantly changed. She looked shocked and immediately waved her hand to reject it.

“It’s fate that you got picked twice!

“If I take away the prize that belongs to you, wouldn’t that be like tempting fate? That’d be bad news for me, wouldn’t it?”

At the same time, Vincent chimed in.

He gloomily whispered to me, “Chloe, this is a Christmas gathering. It’s our last gathering of the year. Aren’t you ruining the mood?

“If you really don’t want to, I won’t force you. But your behavior’s ruining company unity, and it will affect your promotion rating.”

In the past, I was pressured into agreeing when Vincent had threatened me similarly.

But I knew how to weigh the importance of my job and my life.

I looked at Vincent’s wicked face. The words of resignation were already on the tip of my tongue, but I swallowed them down.

I smiled faintly. “Alright, Vincent. I’ll handle the expense tonight!”

Only then did Vincent smile in satisfaction. “You’re indeed an outstanding employee! You’re really smart. In the second half of the year, it’ll be your turn to take over the position of the manager of the Sales Department.”

Vincent was painting a grand, empty picture, and Cathy excitedly rushed forward and hugged me.

“Chloe, you’re the kindest and most generous person I ever met.

“Let our colleagues and I share a bit of your luck so that we can make more profits for the company this year!

“Aren’t I right, Vincent?”

The two of them looked at each other affectionately, and Vincent took advantage of the moment, right there in front of everyone.

I did not say a word. I just quietly watched everything that happened.

At this time, I had a fantastic plan for revenge.

“Vincent, is it fine that a friend of mine wants to attend our party?”

Vincent was in the mood. “It’s your treat tonight, so you’re free to invite anyone! It’s fine even if you invite not just one but ten people!”

Cathy chimed in, “Who’s the friend? Do we know this friend?”

I smiled faintly. “You’ll know when she’s here.”

After I said that, I texted the friend whom I wanted to invite.

Cathy and everyone in the company knew her.

I looked at the time on my phone. “It’s late. Shall we go?”

My boss pretended to be considerate. “I already booked the place. Let’s go, it’s definitely worth it!”

I did not hesitate. “Thank you for your help, Vincent.”
