Offering An Olive Branch
Soon, the remaining patrons got their turns while I went inside with Elanor.
Kate came in to tell me that they had prepared the best masseur for us. During the massage, Eleanor
and I discussed what had just happened. She smiled, and we grew closer.
Afterward, I took her to a nearby Crispy Crust. Most knew the restaurant for its pizzas, and we ate while
I
continuing our conversation. Eleanor told me about how she had met her boss. I knew she was
capable, and I felt tempted to be on her side.
I tried probing, “What will you do if the boss’s wife gives you a hard time?”
“I haven’t thought that far, but I’ve been involved with him for a long time. I don’t want to make things
awkward for my boss, but I don’t want to continue life like this. Perhaps I must decide soon. Maybe I’ll
leave him.”
“Have you thought it through?” I asked.
“There’s nothing much to consider. My boss can’t give me what I want, and I can’t stay by his side
forever. I don’t want to work hard for him only to get nothing. I have my dignity.” Eleanor seemed
helpless, and I
knew she still felt for her boss.
“I’ve done so much for him and owe him nothing. He once helped my dad when we needed money.
Still, I helped my boss expand his business.” She shook her head disappointedly.“He didn’t even let me hold my head high when his wife came to my house. He said the cost of divorce

I couldn’t help but sigh. It seemed men always had excuses for their selfishness. I said, “Men always

things. from him. I’m disappointed, but he must compromise if he’s serious about us. I can’t see hope

manager, and Eleanor was a perfect fit.
After all, she had exceptional experience and aggressiveness in marketing. Eleanor’s eyes lit up when
she
I nodded solemnly. “Of course I am. The building materials market needs a capable manager. If you
decide to come, I’ll entrust it to you. If your year–end performance is acceptable, I can even give you
shares. We can discuss your salary, but I’ll offer you the standard in Foswood.”
I offered an olive branch without hesitation.
Eleanor beamed with gratitude as she nodded. “I’ll consider it when I get home and call you when Idecide.”
I'll be waiting for the good news!”
I didn’t return to the company after saying goodbye to Eleanor. Instead, I went to pick up Ava. Sitting in
the car, I couldn’t help but feel Eleanor would be a perfect fit. She would have security while I can allow
Grayson to assist Ryan.
After all, we only needed to manage Tanum Corporation and Hartz Construction. Since I had yet to
Introduce Hartz Construction to the world, Grayson would be perfect to care for it.
Still, I had to await Eleanor’s decision since she had emotional attachments.
I began feeling tired after sitting in the car for a while. So, I exited the car and stretched before walking
toward the kindergarten. Unexpectedly, Matthew’s car stopped beside me.
