Chapter 36
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 36<\/p>\n
Hearing that, the anger simmering in Stella’s chest completely boiled over.<\/p>\n
Her grip tightened on the edge of the report. “So just because she has a billionaire backing her, it doesn’t matter how many all-nighters we pull or how much actual work we do\u2014she gets all the credit?”<\/p>\n
Mr. Whitaker waved her off, sighing. “The notice is already out. My hands are tied. Get back to work.”<\/p>\n
Stella knew begging Mr. Whitaker was pointless, and she knew exactly whose tacit approval was behind this!<\/p>\n
Thinking about her team eagerly waiting for good news, she refused to just swallow this injustice.<\/p>\n
Finding a secluded corner, she dialed Jarrod’s number.<\/p>\n
“What is it?” Jarrod’s voice was frigid and detached.<\/p>\n
Stella took a deep breath, forcing her tone to remain level. “Mr. Fuller, my entire team worked overnight to ensure the launch was a success, yet Director Huxley is the only one receiving a bonus. I don’t think that’s fair.”<\/p>\n
A faint, dismissive chuckle came through the receiver.<\/p>\n
“If I recall correctly, I simply invested in your company. I don’t micromanage internal HR policies.”<\/p>\n
He could say whatever he wanted, but he was the one who parachuted Chloe in. Everyone was terrified of him!<\/p>\n
Stella pressed on. “But the company only made this unfair decision because of you.”<\/p>\n
“And?” Jarrod replied dryly.<\/p>\n
Stella choked on her words.<\/p>\n
She could practically picture his face\u2014aloof, completely unbothered, acting as if none of this concerned him.<\/p>\n
“And… I was hoping you could be generous enough to put a word in with the company so my team can get their bonuses?” she finally asked.<\/p>\n
She could stomach a little humiliation, but she couldn’t let her coworkers suffer because of her.<\/p>\n
“If you’re worried about upsetting Director Huxley, I don’t even need my share,” Stella added quickly.<\/p>\n
Jarrod’s tone remained deadpan. “Tell me, Ms. Quinn, in what capacity are you begging me for a favor right now?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3324","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
