"No need to get excited, this is the reward you deserve. If you performed poorly, I would get rid of you just as decisively as I'm giving you this sports car now," Tommy patted the other person's shoulder and said to Holly:
"Holly, when you get a chance, transfer another portion of your Hope Company shares to Mark. Give Mark some motivation. After all, you don't have the energy to manage it."
Then Tommy walked over to Susan, who had changed her look from the one she had at Hope. Her long hair was now tied up in a high ponytail, and she was dressed in loose, comfortable casual wear, fiddling with a pen in her hand. Sitting there, she looked sunnier and full of the youthful vitality appropriate to her age.
"A post-dated check for twenty thousand dollars." Tommy took a check out of his pocket and handed it to Susan.
Susan looked at Tommy with a puzzled face. Tommy nodded: "Keep it."
