"How can you be so sure?"
Shiv's eyes narrowed.
Seeing Alex stealing his spotlight yet again and preventing him from showing off he could not resist questioning him.
"Do you perhaps have the authority to make her a permanent employee?" Shiv pressed, his voice dripping with disdain at his bragging. "Otherwise by what ability you are so sure that she can get the annual salary of five hundred thousand?"
Inwardly, Shiv sneered.
A mere security guard, boasting like this? Where does his confidence come from? Such arrogance... truly laughable.
He shook his head clear contempt curling on his lips.
"There should be a limit to your bragging."
But Alex remained unfazed by the taunt. His tone stayed calm, almost casual.
"This does not seem difficult for me," he said softly. "It can be done."
For a second Shiv froze at his claim but then Shiv burst into laughter.
"Who do you think you are? Do not talk nonsense!"
Alex, however, only shrugged at him.
