Chapter 1335

This even made someone start wondering if they had said something wrong.

But through the whole meeting, Lucas never once lost his temper.

Compared with the past two days, the difference was like night and day.

Even the people who had seen Desmond’s proud look that morning grew even more curious.

What exactly had he done to make Lucas change his attitude so completely?

This wasn’t just anyone – it was Lucas!

And he could be changed? That wasn’t something they’d ever learned in school.

Afterward, everyone crowded around Desmond.

He simply waved his hand calmly. “Everyone, settle down. Work is what matters. Focus more on your own tasks.”

“As for how I succeeded, my experience isn’t something you can copy.”

Seeing him show off like that, they couldn’t decide whether to hate or admire him.

But at least Lucas wasn’t angry anymore. His temper had eased, and their work became far more comfortable.

As long as the boss was in a good mood, they had nothing to worry about.

After the meeting, Lucas returned to his office alone to study the PPT Desmond had made.

He found that only the first page was painfully awkward, while the rest of the text was much better.

Once Lucas got serious, he quickly lost himself in it and kept reading without stopping.

Before he knew it, he had read quite a lot.

And surprisingly, he actually learned a thing or two.

For instance, when a woman is angry, you shouldn’t sulk with her or keep pestering her with apologies.

Instead, you should give both sides time to cool down, and in the meantime, buy her something, maybe a bag or a gift.

Anything but sitting around doing nothing, just waiting for her anger to pass.

The most important thing was to let her see his determination to apologize.

Desmond had been very thoughtful in the details.

He even marked down what times were best for dates, where to take her, which restaurants were suitable, what dishes women liked, and which desserts they preferred.

Reading through it all, Lucas suddenly felt everything become clear.

If this wasn’t the right time to give Desmond a raise, then when would it be?

Before he knew it, the whole morning had passed, and Lucas was completely absorbed in the guide.

A smile lingered in his eyes.

It was obvious Desmond had put real effort into it.

In just two days, he had produced so much – an entire PPT of one hundred slides.

With a wave of his hand, Lucas immediately raised Desmond’s salary by two hundred thousand dollars and gave him a few days off.

When the news spread, their colleagues all looked at Desmond with envy.

Desmond was so excited he nearly jumped up and down.

Two hundred thousand dollars!

His annual salary was only two to three million, and with just two days of work, he had earned the equivalent of three extra months' pay.

It was more than worth it.

Desmond decided then and there he would be loyal to Lucas for life.

When the money hit his account, he immediately bombarded Lucas with messages:

[Mr. Carter, wishing you and Mrs. Carter a lifetime of happiness together! May you have children soon!]

[Don’t worry, with this guide in your hands, you will definitely coax Mrs. Carter back – it’s only a matter of time.]

[As long as the hoe is swung well, there’s no wall that can’t be pried open.]

Lucas sat in his office, still seriously studying the guide, when a sudden flood of notifications pulled him out of his thoughts.

Opening his phone, he saw Desmond had already sent him over 99 messages.
