After a long wait, he replied with a single word: Mm.
Once she had his permission, Claire immediately called him. "Mr. Quincy, Aiden Howkins gave me a bank card and said it's your salary card."
"The PIN is our wedding date."
"Oh..." 'That wasn't what I wanted to ask.'
After a moment of hesitation, she took the plunge. "May I ask what your monthly salary is?"
Adrian Quincy seemed to be in a good mood. He surprisingly didn't refuse to answer her question. "My annual salary is just enough to buy this apartment."
"Paid in full?"
"Mm-hmm."
"Wow, I had no idea working at Quincy Manor paid so well! No wonder so many people want to work there. It's way better than a stable government job!"
The man fell silent.
'All right, I was just making a casual comment.'
Claire gave a dry cough and quickly corrected herself. "I was just kidding. Please don't take it to heart."
"Don't call me unless it's an absolute emergency."
