Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

" Anyone who wants to sit out of tonight's entertainment can do so as well ! Let me know , and I'll repay you with bonuses and other benefits , " I finished . " And before I forget . Please keep all your receipts from today . You can claim every one of them from the company , especially since you spent that money to bring in so many deals for Sleeping Giant ! " The video chat went silent . Jeanine was stunned . Everyone else was too . A full minute passed before someone finally spoke . " Was that a joke , sir ? Are you really ... giving us all of that ? " " Of course I am !

Look at the results you all achieved ! There's no way I'd walk back on my promise to the Greatest Team of All Time ! " I replied with a smile . " Thank you for joining this ship with me . It's truly my greatest honor to have you as colleagues and comrades . " Silence again . Then , out of nowhere , a piercing cheer erupted through the call . " You're really the best employer I've ever had ! You're the G.O.A.T. ! " " I'm crying manly tears of happiness ! " " Suddenly , I wish I were a woman just so I could sleep with you and bear you a Sebastian Jr. ! " I froze .

More than the women , the men had begun saying things that made my skin crawl . " Piss off , boys ! I'm straight as hell ! " I shot back with a laugh . We joked around a bit more before I ended the conference call . Afterward , I told Jeanine to tabulate the receipts the team had submitted and tally the number of participants for tonight's excursion . Jeanine kept avoiding Sebastian's eyes , weighed down by shame. She had been scolding herself for thinking the worst of me . ' After everything Mr. Grimwald did for you today , and this is the kind of man you thought he was ?!

How could you slander the greatest employer in the world ?! ' Her thoughts drifted further . ' If Mr. Grimwald treats his employees like this ... how does he treat his girlfriend , or even his wife ? Wouldn't he treat them like a goddess ? Could I ever be lucky enough to catch his attention ? To become his wife ? ' I waved a hand in front of Jeanine's face . " Earth to Jeanine ! Anybody home ? You keep spacing out today . Are you fatigued ? Maybe you should go home instead of partying with us . I'll just reward you through bonuses . " " No , I'm fine .

I want to go to the party if you're going ! " she blurted , a little too eagerly . " Er ... yeah . Of course I'm going , " I said . Jeanine blushed , realizing too late how suggestive she might have sounded . " Oh . Right . Then I'll go too ! I'm not tired at all . Um , I'll start crunching the numbers now ! " 1/2 Within ten minutes , she had finished processing the team's expenses and counting who would attend the party . " Huh . Everyone's attending , Mr. Grimwald , Back at Baron Inc. , almost nobody ever joined teambuilding events , and yet ... " Jeanine muttered .

" I'm honored that you all value my company this much . " I chuckled . " I've already picked a place for us . Send the details to the group and get everyone there right away . " " Got it . " A sudden thought struck her . " Um , Mr. Grimwald , are you really sure about giving us all paid vacations ? We just got the contracts signed . Even if we start recruiting tomorrow , it'll take at least a week before we have any new hires . What happens if our partners ask about our progress ? " ENJOYING THE BOOK ?
