StartNovelChapter 1304:
Hank slid into the seat beside Ellie. “Ellie, your husband is a vice president at his company, right? Could you ask
him to letwork there? I'm family, after all. Surely, he could offera million a year. My current job is a slog,
with pitiful pay. And your shop is hiring, isn’t it? Mattie could work there. She’s reliable, and you can pay her well.
You're doing so well for yourself; help us out a bit...”
A flicker of irritation crossed Ellie’s face. Hank always dreamed too big, brushing off small opportunities and
never able to hold on to anything larger. More than a year had passed since graduation, and he'd already
bounced between multiple jobs without committing to any.
Mattie, in contrast, had her feet firmly on the ground. Since finishing school, she had kept a steady position at
the scompany, though her salary was modest.
The thought occurred to Ellie that her new store could use extra hands, and Mattie might be a good fit. “Alright,
Mattie can joinat the store. I'll start her at ten thousand a month, plus commissions and bonuses. By the end
of the year, that adds up to a solid income. As for you, Hank, stay where you are. My husband’s company only
hires postgraduates and PhDs. There's nothing there that suits you.”
Hank's face soured. “Ellie, isn’t your husband the vice president there? He can pull strings for me. Who cares
about degrees? Even if | only finished elementary school, if he wantedthere, who'd dare complain? If you're
too embarrassed to ask him, I'll do it myself!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Don’t even think about it. If | say no, Thiago won't approve it,” Ellie shot back. She knew full well Hank lacked
the drive and skills for the role. If he ever landed in Thiago’s company, he'd only create problems.
Hank muttered, frustrated, “Fine. If you won't help, then forget it. You're my sister. You're doing so well, and you
can’t even givea hand? That's heartless.”
Grumbling under his breath, he headed for the kitchen to complain to Tori about the matter.
Mattie moved closer to Ellie, her tone warm. “Thanks, Ellie. Are you sure you're okay withworking in your
store?”
Ellie gave a firm nod. “Yes. Just make sure you put in the effort, learn from others, and ctoif you need
help.”
Excitement lit Mattie’s eyes. With a base salary plus commissions and bonuses, her earnings would easily double
or triple what she made now—a huge improvement.
“Ellie, I've never worked in fashion before. Is that going to be a problem?” she said, a touch of worry in her voice.
“It’s not an issue. If you're willing to learn, you'll pick it up quickly,” Ellie reassured her. She had always liked
Mattie—she treated Tori kindly, never argued with her, and even helped out whenever she visited.
“I'll give it my all. And please, don’t hold Hank's temper against him. | know how he is. Ill talk to him when we
get home. Your husband's company is in high-end tech and finance, so it’s not like Hank fits their requirements
for an employee.” Mattie knew her husband was pushing too hard. She figured this was something that could be
handled more carefully over time.
Ellie's agreement was immediate. “Exactly. I've already spoken with Thiago about it. Even for sales, they hire
people with strong credentials. The pay is excellent, but so are the standards. Hank just doesn’t qualify!”
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Hank was pouring out his complaints to Tori.
“Mom, | asked Ellie to geta job, and she flat-out refused. She and Thiago make millions every year—what's
the harm in givinga spot? It's not like one more person in the company would make a difference.”
