Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 357

“All done? Let’s get going,” Lyman said to Effie and Nita.

Just then, Vinson Elliott cleared his throat.

Nita snapped to attention, suddenly remembering something. She shot Vinson a wounded look, thinking to herself, Seriously? It’s just a simple bowl of noodles—it’s barely a few dollars. Does he really need to squeeze this out of me?

“Alright, alright, I got it. Lunch is on me today,” Nita muttered, sounding like she was being dragged to her own execution.

Effie grinned. “What’s the occasion, Nita? Did you get a raise or a promotion?”

Nita pulled a face. “Do you really think that’s possible?”

Vinson Elliott chimed in, “Actually, Nita just got promoted to sales manager today. Well, assistant manager for now, but if you keep working hard, there’s plenty of room to move up.”

Nita froze, completely stunned. Her jaw dropped, and Vinson, watching her, made a fist and held it up, looking unimpressed.

Are all women’s mouths really that small? Can’t even fit my fist, he thought.

Suddenly snapping out of it, Nita stared at Vinson, her voice trembling with excitement. “Wait—Mr. Elliott, when did I get promoted? No one told me!”

Vinson shrugged, calm as ever. “Just now.”

“Just now…?”

Nita’s tone flipped in an instant. “Mr. Elliott, you’re amazing! I always knew you had an eye for talent. With an employee as great as me, how could you possibly let me go to waste? Lunch is definitely on me!”

She threw up her hands in triumph, grinning like she’d just won the lottery.

Seeing Nita so happy, Effie couldn’t help but laugh too.

After saying goodbye to Effie, Nita was still floating on air.

Vinson glanced over. “You’re really this happy?”
