There was no doubt Hera already knew Boris had been bribed.


    However, instead of calling the police, she had decided to merely dismiss him from thepany. This


    would help Boris retain some semnce of honor even till the very end.


    She was repaying a grudge with a favor!


    After that, Boris told them everything about why he had epted the bribe.


    His wife had been diagnosed with a terminal illness.


    The medical expenses plunged his family, which had just recovered from the previous plight, into


    financial troubles once again.


    The president of Deco Electronics chose that very moment to approach him.


    She promised to pay for all the treatment his wife received at the hospital on one condition.


    When Boris heard that he needed to install hidden cameras and bug in Hera’s office, he refused to do


    so without hesitating.


    However, he underwent a dilemma after returning to his wife’s ward and seeing how she was in so


    much pain that all she wanted to do was die.


    Baroque had helped him greatly. If it had not been for them, he would have lost his daughter six years


    ago


    However, he and his wife had spent over half their lives together. He could not stand the thought that


    she might not be able to watch their daughter get married and settle down.


    After going through several days in a haze, he eventually lost control of himself.

    Ten days ago, he contacted Xena and received the bugs and hidden cameras. He told one of his most


    trusted men to nt them in Hera’s office.


    When Boris finished speaking, he pped himself across the face numerous times. “I’m sorry, Ms.


    Hera. I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. I don’t deserve to be alive!”


    He had spent the past ten days on tenterhooks, struggling to fall asleep every night. Days felt like years


    to him.


    The look on Hera’s face turned slightly less hostile.


    Melody was worried Hera might go easy on him and hurriedly spoke up, “Don’t doubt your employee,


    and never hire someone you don’t trust. There’s no in-between for betrayal. It either never happens or


    never stops.


    “Baroque is no longer the smallpany from back then. You shoul rece whoever shows the need


    to be reced!” Hera pursed her lips.


    If Boris had betrayed her just for the money, she would have fired him without a second thought.


    However, because he had done it for his gravely ill wife…


    Melody could tell that Hera was going to go easy on Boris, and she shook her head ruefully as she


    said, “You should do as you deem fit.


    All I’ll do is provide you with reminders and suggestions!”


    Hera grinned at Melody. “Thank you, Melody!”


    Melody had been doing this for much longer than Hera had.


    Everything Melody told her was no doubt for her own good.


    If Hera did not listen to her advice, she would be letting Melody down.


    Melody was only saying that because she was spoiling her.


    Boris’ family’s financial situation had only just improved slightly, and his wife was terminally ill.


    Given his age, it would be difficult for him to find another job.


    Hera did not want to be the one who destroyed his family. She turned to Boris and said, “You should


    get to your feet, Mr. Griffin. I’ve decided to give you a second chance!”


    Boris’ heart skipped a beat, and fresh tears brimmed in his eyes as he said, “Ms. Hera… You…”


    Hera hurriedly waved her hands. “You should return to work. I’ll have someone from the Finance


    Department transfer the money needed for your wife’s treatment this evening!”


    Boris trembled as he bit down on his lip and bowed deeply at Hera.


    Where else would he find a president as kind as she was?


    Despite the fact he had betrayed her, she still allowed him to keep his job and was even paying for his


    wife’s treatment.


    He promised himself that he would spend the rest of his life being a loyal employee of Baroque.


    After Boris left, Melody sat back down and said, “Being kind is a good thing, but you might end up


    getting pushed off the cliff if you’re too kind for your own good!”


    Hera linked her arm with Melody’s and said cutely, “It’s alright, Melody. I’m not an idiot. I know what I’m


    doing. This is a way of getting people over to your side as well, isn’t it?”
