Chapter 176 A Hundred-Thousand Bonus

• At two thirty sharp, Ben Walton stood up and headed straight for the conference room. When he pushed open the door to the small meeting room, he froze. The oval table was packed. He’d thought this was just a routine meeting—after all, even a driver like him had to attend. But once he saw who was inside, things felt off. Vincy Shaw sat at the head, with Jolene Pennkowski to her right. Then came the company’s Finance Director, Design Director—big shots all the way down—and then the heads of each department. Some faces Ben knew, some he didn’t, but one thing was clear: everyone there was at least department head level or higher.
• Ben couldn’t help thinking, Why would they call a driver to a meeting like this? He walked in, glanced around, and didn’t take a seat at the oval table. Instead, he slipped onto a chair in the second row against the wall, tucked into a corner. He figured he had no business sitting at the main table.
• “Assistant Wang, your seat’s here.” Vincy pointed to an open spot in the middle of the conference table.
