After greeting the HR manager, I walked past Zeke and headed to the door.
He quickly chased after me with his long legs. "Didn't hear my offer?"
"No, thanks."
It was true that the Jeremy Family was a very wealthy family, but Zeke's company was just a startup business. Although it had gained momentum in recent years and could compete with some big players in certain areas, it wasn’t as mature as the industry giants, so the benefits it gave would likely not be as competitive as the other.
My goal was to make money. I did not want to waste my time testing the waters.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars as a basic annual salary. This salary doesn't include bonuses, you will get on projects."
I stopped in my tracks. Money was, after all, my magic word and his offer was very tempting.
I turned to look at him. "Why?"
"You've managed to win a project from me before. That skill is worth it to get that amount of money." When he saw me still hesitating, he smirked and his words had a subtle edge in it. "Or, maybe, you just can't get over that jerk, Mark?"
