Zaiden raised his hand slightly, a calm gesture to soothe Cellinina. “It’s okay. You did well,” he said softly.
Cellinina straightened as she nodded respectfully.
Zaiden then turned toward the second guard, who was trembling and unsure of how to react. Zaiden’s gaze was calm but firm. “What’s your name?” he asked.
The guard gulped. “R-Ryan, sir.”
Zaiden nodded thoughtfully. “Ryan, you’ve shown integrity and respect for your duties. That’s the kind of person this company needs. From now on, you’re promoted—twice. And your salary will be tripled.”
Ryan’s eyes widened in shock. “Sir, I— what, that will be 800,000 thousand dollars per month."
Zaiden scoffed and said, "Maybe I should make it 1 million dollars."
"What... how possible, thank you! Thank you so much! I—I won’t let you down!”
