Chapter 213

Jace let his phone ring for a long moment before he picked it up with a hoarse voice, “Yes.” “How was
it? Did you manage to get her?” said Yoel.

Yoel just finished shopping at the Norah Jewel website, and he called to check on his best buddy.
Seeing as Jace hesitated to speak, he understood, “Not going smoothly eh?”

Jace felt a lump in his throat, not saying a word.

The sky turned dark and there was a thunderstorm incoming. Zayne nudged at Jace, “Mr. Yuriel, let’s
get into the car. It’s going to rain soon.” As Jace was about to hang up, Yoel yelled on the phone,
“You’re still there and it’s going to rain? Good, good. Listen, don’t leave!” Yoel looked up the weather
and it was going to rain thunderstorm tonight. His eyes lit up.” Hey Jace, I’ve got an idea. Tonight’s
thunderstorm will be an opportunity for you!” It rained thunderstorm just as expected. And boy, was it
heavy. Sage and her staff finally finished work. She held out a stack of cash and made it rain for
everyone to grab as a reward. Suddenly, they don’t feel so tired anymore. “Miss Norah, thank you for
the cash! Would we still be entitled to our overtime pay?” asked a newcomer designer. Sage smiled,
“Of course, everyone else is entitled to get their pay. As to you, if you don’t want it, I can arrange for
your payment to be donated.”

“No, please don’t.” The young designer laughed awkwardly, and everyone else teased along. Some
older staff members took the opportunity to share, “Everyone knows the best employee benefits are at
Norah Group. I could sleep in the offices if it meant more money and more work!”

“There’s no need. It’ll be a waste of resources and electricity,” said Hunter, as everyone laughed again.
“Okay everyone, it’s getting late now. Please go home and have some rest,” said Sage. She added,
“Thank you everyone for working hard tonight. If everything goes smoothly, the year-end bonus could
at least be what we gave out three years ago.” The old staff’s eyes all lit up as they heard it. For three



years they have had no bonuses given to them. Miss Norah is just like her dad, never making empty
promises. When asked how much was the bonus last year, the old staff held out a hand gesture “six”,
signifying it will be at least six figures’ worth. The new staff lit up as they saw it too, as they saw their
future at Norah group.

Sage ordered Hunter to call rent out cab services for all the overtime staff as it was dark and raining
heavily.

Suddenly, one of the staff yelled, “Who’s that insane person standing under the rain at our lobby
entrance? Wait, he looks familiar…” He didn’t dare to finish his sentences. Sage walked over to the
window and peeked. It was him. Her eyebrows instantly furrowed.
