I told her to run five laps in the small park in front of the office every day before starting work. She isn\u2019t allowed to begin her shift unless she completes all five laps. I\u2019m pushing her to lose weight, but the results won\u2019t be visible after just one month. That\u2019s why I set her probation period to three months.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary was once again left speechless.<\/div>\n<div>Duncan was a bit too inquisitive.<\/div>\n<div>He had given Liberty a job and was even concerned about her weight.<\/div>\n<div>Duncan truly was the best boss in the world.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cDuncan, make it a month\u2019s probation. Once she passes, give her a salary increase. If you believe she doesn\u2019t deserve the raise, I\u2019ll cover the difference every month and give it to you privately.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cShe\u2019s just a clerk in the finance department, so any raise will be minimal. At most, it\u2019ll be a thousand dollars, which isn\u2019t significant.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cA thousand dollars may mean little to you, but it\u2019s a lot for an average person. My sister-in-law is facing divorce and is fighting for custody of her son. A stable job and income will help her in that battle.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cShe was previously a finance manager at Waltham Electronics, so she\u2019s more than capable. Being a clerk now is a demotion for her. It won\u2019t be sudden to give her a raise after probation. I\u2019m not concerned about that amount, so there\u2019s no need for you to reimburse me.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Unlike Josh, Duncan wasn\u2019t one to gossip. He noted Zachary referring to Liberty as his sister-in-law, but it didn\u2019t surprise him at all.<\/div>\n<div>Liberty was Serenity\u2019s sister, and Serenity was Zachary\u2019s wife. Thus, Zachary calling Liberty his sister-in-law was completely normal.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThanks, Duncan.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYou don\u2019t need to thank me. Liberty is now my employee, so it\u2019s only fair that I pay her salary. Is she getting a divorce?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cHer husband cheated on her.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Duncan replied, unsurprisingly, \u201cI met her twice before while she was walking on the street with her son. The second time I saw her, she bought a lot of things, but her husband didn\u2019t come to pick her up. At that moment, I knew something was wrong with him.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>If they were in a good relationship, her husband would have gone to pick up his wife and son when he found out she had bought so much.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cZachary, don\u2019t worry. As long as she doesn\u2019t resign, I won\u2019t fire her.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI\u2019m relieved she works for you. I need to join a meeting now. I\u2019ll treat you to dinner someday. You can come to my house and try my wife\u2019s cooking. Her home-cooked meals are delicious.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cSo you\u2019re finally letting us meet her, huh?\u201d Duncan teased Zachary.<\/div>\n<div>He had seen Serenity once before, but only from behind.<\/div>\n<div>Duncan was curious if Serenity was as beautiful as a goddess since Zachary had fallen for her in just two months.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary smiled but didn\u2019t elaborate further. He ended the call with Duncan.<\/div>\n<div>At the Brown family residence.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYou want to divorce Liberty?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Mr. Brown stared at his son, who had come over after taking the day off. \u201cDidn\u2019t you say you\u2019d put up with her for Sonny\u2019s sake?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Hank lowered his head, fixated on his smoking.<\/div>\n<div>Olivia entered with Lucas. She sat next to her husband and said, \u201cWhy are you yelling? Don\u2019t scare Lucas.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>She softened her voice and asked her son, \u201cHank, why did you suddenly mention divorce? Did you two fight again? Or did Liberty make a fuss about what happened yesterday?\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 405 \u201cThat\u2019s because she\u2019s overweight.
