Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 31

The person held a suitcase in his right hand and had his left arm wrapped in bandages, standing there straight like a board.

Wilbur looked at him and was taken aback, asking, “Ryder?”

He quickly crossed the bridge and approached Ryder. He looked at his arm and asked, “How did you manage to get here so quickly?”

“Ryder Litwing, elite combat personnel of the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense, reporting in, Ryder said as he saluted with a standard military gesture.

Wilbur looked at the vehicle behind him, then frowned and asked, “What’s the meaning of this?”

“This is equipment from our branch, and there are a few staff members as well,” Ryder explained.

“How did

you know I was staying here?” Wilbur asked.

“The Commander–in–Chief issued orders to the relevant departments in Kardon Province. That’s how I was informed,” Ryder responded.

Wilbur was speechless.

“It must be Orin’s doing! he thought..

However, he was shocked by the extensive authority of the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense.

Orin was the governor of Kardon Province, which made him a high–ranking figure. He held significant influence among the upper echelons of Northseecher. “‘How is it possible for Albert to order him around?‘ Wilbur wondered.

He looked at the vehicle behind Ryder and said, “Tell them to wait. You can follow me.”

Wilbur led Ryder to his room, then took a look at Ryder’s arm and said, “I remember you were badly injured. How are you on duty so soon?”

“The department used biotechnology to rebuild my muscles. It’s just a matter of fractured bones right now. It doesn’t really affect me that much,” Ryder explained.

Wilbur was slightly surprised. Biotechnology was quite something

He remembered Ryder’s arm was basically crippled back then.

Wilbur paused, then asked slowly, “So, what’s the deal with you being here and all the people out there?”

“We need a place to work, and we need to install our equipment,” replied Ryder.

Wilbur was surprised, asking, “Did you think I was going to just agree to have a branch set up here?”

“We need a discreet and quiet environment for our operations,” Ryder replied.

Wilbur scoffed and said, “Go and find a place for the department yourself. This is my private property.”

“It comes with rent. One hundred thousand dollars per month, and there’s also a monthly operation fund of two hundred. thousand dollars,” Hyder said.

Wilbur’s expression changed inmediately and said, “Renat isn’t the main concem here, but I’ll reluctantly agree for the sake of having our work done efficiently.”

“Yes, Deacon Penn

“What about the operation fund?” Wilbur claucided awkwardly.

“It’s a fixed monthly fund for regular operations. There will be additional funding for any special operations. As you are the Deacon of the branch, you’ll be responsible for planning and managing all the funds.”

Wilbur instantly laughed. “Alright, then I’ll reluctantly accept it, but what about the other staff?”

“They’re just here to install the equipment. They’ll be leaving after the installation.”

“Okay. Where are you installing the equipment and how much space do you need?”

Ryder looked at the bedroom and saki, “I only need one room of that size.”

“No problem.”

Wilbur acknowledged it with a wave. He led Ryder outside and gave him the most discreet room for equipment installation. On top of that, he also gave him a room to stay.

Ryder began ordering the staff to install the equipment.

Wilbur watched them carry cases of equipment while he secretly calculated the rent in his mind.

“That’s one million two hundred thousand dollars per year, and I have my annual salary of two million four hundred thousand dollars. I’ll have a total income of three million six hundred thousand dollars for the year. That’s a substantial amount! If I can manage that additional two hundred thousand dollars from the operation fund, it will be quite a sum. At the very least, it will cover the maintenance expenses of Sealake Island for the year with plenty to spare.”

While he was not in dire need of money, that did not mean he should be losing money either.
