DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 18
Chapter 18 Ask for a Raise
“You don’t need to worry about that. As long as you like it.” Hudson glanced at Camila with guilt on his face.
The three of them went to the ground floor by elevator.
The elevator door suddenly opened when they passed parking level one.
The giant parking lot was fully parked with luxury cars.
Hudson gasped in shock. He had never seen so many luxury cars except in 4S
stores.
Maxwell just parked his car and was walking to the elevator. The special elevator for the president only was to the right of the elevator for the staff.
Usually, the elevator for the staff wouldn’t stop on this floor. But today, there seemed to be something wrong with it.
Camila saw someone about to come in. But then, that person suddenly turned
around.
At this time, the elevator door closed.
Camila felt that person looked familiar. But soon, she denied her thoughts.
Speaking of temperament, Maxwell was not even close to the president of Startak Gaming.
In the meantime, the far glance made Maxwell break out in a cold sweat.
He sat in his car for a while before he went into the elevator and went to the ground floor.
Camila and Hudson had already left.
Kristen couldn’t wait to go to the changing room and change into the brown suit. She offended the president just now, so she wanted to leave him a good impression when he came out of the parking lot.

Maxwell walked out of the elevator in a neatly trimmed dark blue suit. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses and walking with bossy charisma. His domineering manner attracted the attention of all the staff members on the first floor.
“Mr. Starling comes. Hurry up. Behave.”
There were eight gate machines in front of the elevator. One of them was for Maxwell only.
Kristen walked over from the front desk and wanted to greet Maxwell.
However, Maxwell didn’t even look at her. But when he arrived at the gate machine, he suddenly turned around and stared at her clothes for a while.
Kristen wondered if her clothes were dirty. She looked down and found they weren’t dirty at all.
Maxwell’s face went totally purple when he saw that some other woman was wearing the clothes he bought Camila.
He pointed at Kristen. “Who gave you this set of clothes?”
Kristen thought that Maxwell liked her clothes, so she said happily, “It’s a birthday gift from my boyfriend.”
“Then go back and tell your boyfriend that the clothes are nice but don’t suit you. You look bad in them.”
As soon as Maxwell returned to the office, he asked Efrain to transfer Kristen to the branch. Maxwell didn’t want to see Kristen anymore.
Efrain was upset. He didn’t know why Maxwell kept giving the front desk a hard time recently. He changed two staff members at the front desk in less than a week.
After Camila left Startak Gaming, she went to the hospital directly. After having dinner with her grandma, she went back to the Starling’s place.
As soon as she went back home, she began to pack her stuff. She decided to stay with her grandma in the hospital.
At this time, Raven knocked on the door and came in.
“Ms. Lambert, can I have a word with you?”

Camila stopped packing and followed Raven to the yard.
“What is it?”

Raven was in a quandary. “I know it’s inappropriate to bring this up now, but I’m exhausted by my current job. So, I decide to work for someone else, who gives more money and is less troublesome.”
Camila was stunned.
She wasn’t sure if Raven wanted to get a raise or to leave.
“Have you decided whom to work for?”
Raven shook her head. “I have some choices. They all can give me a good salary.
But I haven’t decided.”
Raven paused and said again, “I’ve been working for the Starling family for three years without any raise. I used to take care of Mr. Gideon Starling only, but now, you and Mr. Maxwell Starling live here as well, so I have too much work. Ms. Lambert, can you talk to Mr. Starling and see if he can give me a raise?”
“How much do you want?”
“Someone offers me 2,500 dollars per month.”
Camila smiled.
“Raven, is this personal?”
“Ms. Lambert, what do you mean?”
“Raven, I think you forgot something. As soon as I moved over, you asked me to take charge of all the meals moving forward. I admit that my attitude was bad back then. Later, I got the contract between you and the Starling family from Maxwell.
“The terms say that you need to take care of all the housework, including all the meals. It doesn’t say that your job is to take care of Mr. Gideon Starling only, because as far as I know, Daisy and her family were living here back then. There were definitely more people than now.”
Raven was awkward.
“Ms. Lambert, what you said is true, but before you came, I talked to Mr. Gideon

Starling about my salary raise. Later, Mr. Gideon Starling said that he wanted to get Mr. Maxwell Starling a wife to take care of him and take off some burden from my shoulder.
“Then, you came. I thought that since you agreed to marry Mr. Maxwell Starling, you must have agreed to take care of Mr. Gideon Starling. That’s why I asked you to take charge of the meals. Anything wrong with that? If you didn’t want to, then why did you marry Mr. Maxwell Starling? Was it because you wanted those 80 thousand dollars? So, you didn’t want to take care of Mr. Gideon Starling at all, did you?”
Raven was giving an indignant speech. Camila didn’t know how to refute although
she knew that what Raven said was not true.
“Is that why you stole my prenuptial agreement and put it inside the newspaper to
frame me?”
“Stole your prenuptial agreement? I didn’t! Don’t slander me! That morning, you handed me the newspaper and asked me to give it to Mr. Gideon Starling. Who would have thought that your prenuptial agreement was inside the newspaper? I didn’t even know you and Mr. Maxwell Starling signed that thing.”
“What are you guys talking about?” As soon as Raven finished, Maxwell came in through the gate.
Camila was stunned. She sensed that Maxwell was down today. Maybe he was
tired.
She walked over and wanted to take his suitcase from his hand, but Maxwell dodged her.
Maxwell asked, “Why was Raven so emotional just now?”
“Raven isn’t satisfied with our pay, so she wants to work for someone else.”
“I didn’t say that. Ms. Lambert, you always misinterpret my words.” Raven always talked bad words about Camila in front of Maxwell.
“Mr. Starling, there are more people in the house now, and I have much more work to do. The person who said to come to help take care of Gideon isn’t helpful at all. So, I want Ms. Lambert to give me a raise. That will make me feel better.”
Hearing this, Maxwell looked at Camila.

“What Raven said makes sense. Give her a raise.”

“How much?” Camila was angry to hear this. It was easy for Maxwell to say that. Raven wanted to get 2,500 dollars per month. That was half of his salary.
“Whatever Raven asks for!” Maxwell had been suppressing his anger since he knew that Camila gave that set of clothes to someone else.
Camila wanted to pretend frugal in front of him, but she gave those expensive clothes to someone else.
In fact, Maxwell didn’t care how expensive those clothes were. It was the first time he had pleased a woman with all his heart, but she didn’t care. That was why he was angry.
