Chapter 162 An Unexpected Reward

After we made our decision, I talked to Ryan about the suppliers Benjamin had been

working hard to keep.

I invited Benjamin to join us in the discussion to lay out a more flexible strategy. Of course,

we could only make arrangements after confirming the project with Echelon Group.

That evening, Benjamin and Carol led all our employees to Gourmet Utopia, where they

had reserved the largest private room available. It was fancier than my previous employee

dinners, and all the staff were

excited.

Gourmet Utopia was known for hosting parties and banquets, so most of its customers

came in groups, On my way there, I received a phone call from Atlas. He asked me where

the dinner was, and I told him.

“Hmm…” He reminded me, “No drinking, okay?”

“Why do you care? I’m having a good time with my employees tonight.”

I was happy that he sounded jealous.

He asked, “Well, you’re mine, right?”

I giggled and could picture him smiling on the other end.

“Alright, I have to go. Don’t stay up too late,” I said. He hung up.

I was happy to hear Atlas claim me as his. It made me feel less alone.

Carol had preordered the dishes, and the waiters served us as soon as we arrived. I could

tell that Carol ordered the reasonably priced ones to save me money. She had only worked

We seemed to

have a lot in common.

Just as I wanted to order a few more expensive dishes, a waiter pushed over a food cart. It

surprised us

to see cheese–baked matsutake mushrooms and lobsters served at every table.

That alarmed Carol. “Hey, hey, stop! We didn’t order these.”

The waiter continued serving the dishes. “They’re for you, ma’am.”

“No, they aren’t! You’ve made a mistake,” Carol said. A lobster that big would cost a

fortune. Who would

order them?

Everyone also received a plate of nachos topped with Petrossian caviar. My employees

looked at me, but I was as stupefied as they were.

so generous h

I couldn’t afford to be before I could speak, the waiter said, “Don’t worry, ma’am. They are

from Mr. Atlas from ATL Empire as a reward for completing the project’s initial phase.”

What the hell? Was that why he asked me where the gathering was?

Others exchanged looks and stared at me. Damn it! Anyone could tell something was

going on between

me and Atlas now.

Since I was speechless, Carol quickly said, “Oh, when I delivered the blueprints, I jokingly

said they should reward us for meeting their expectations. I didn’t expect them to take it

seriously. I guess they’re loaded,

aren’t they?”

She chuckled and said, “What are you guys waiting for? Let’s dig
