Chapter 165 Harleen''S Promotion


    Chapter 165 Harleen''s Promotion


    Ahem!


    Spike Arnold coughed as he was choked.


    It was one thing that SHADOW headed to the capital, but if Army of Bloodshadow was brought


    along, the situation wouldpletely change.


    Commander Gardner would undoubtedly face immense pressure!


    "You''re the only one with bad ideas!" Casey red at Judge angrily. "All of West Border Army has


    entered the capital, and you want our boss to bear a huge crime?"


    "Just kidding!" Judge grinned.


    "Alright, it''s settled then!" Billy stood up and looked at Judge. "Within a month, we''ll go to the capital


    and bring in all SSS criminals wanted by SHADOW. The case from three years ago must also be


    resolved!"


    "In addition," Billy continued. "I will release an announcement in my name revoking Spike Arnold''s


    wanted order and granting him lifelong honorary elder status in SHADOW Hall of Fame!"


    "Understood!" Judge nodded vigorously.


    "Thank you, Commander!" Spike Arnold knelt down on one knee with gratitude written all over his


    face. He knew very well that Billy was indirectly protecting him by issuing this announcement. If


    anyone still dared to harm him after this announcement went out, they would have to think twice


    about it. Otherwise, they would be openly opposing SHADOW.


    Around five o''clock the next afternoon, Billy received a call from Harleen.


    "Hey, Harleen, finished work already? What''s up?" Billy answered with a smile.


    "Billy, do you have time tonight?" Harleen''s soft voice came through the phone.


    "Of course! What''s going on?" Billy responded eagerly.


    "I''m having dinner with my colleagues from the marketing department and they all want to invite


    you. I couldn''t say no." Harleen exined.


    "Well, why turn down a good meal? Count me in!" Billyughed again.


    "You''lle then?" Harleen sounded pleased. "Great! Can you pick me up at the officeter?"


    Harleen still hadn''tpleted her car registration so she was still taking public transportation to


    work these days.


    "Sure thing!" Billy agreed happily. Half an hourter he arrived at SunPark Group building in his car


    and picked up Harleen who smiled sweetly at him as she got in. "Thanks foring to get me."


    "No problem, Wife." replied Billy as he started driving towards their destination. "So what''s this


    dinner all about? Is it for your new leadership role?"


    "That''s part of it," said Harleen looking quite happy now. After pausing briefly she continued


    excitedly, "But also because I got promoted! I''m now the Director of Marketing for our entire


    company!"


    "Oh really?" raised an eyebrow skeptically but impressed nheless, "That was quick! You''ve only


    been there for a short while."


    "Yea," eximed Harleen proudly.


    "The collection rate of the marketing department was very poorst quarter, only about 60%. So I''ve


    been chasing payments with my colleagues everywhere these past few months and finally, we


    managed to increase it to 85%."


    "This is the highest collection rate for the marketing department in recent years. And don''t be fooled


    by the mere 20% increase - that''s several billion dors!"


    "Thepany leaders and my colleagues in the department are all very happy, especially my


    coworkers who will see an increase in their quarterly bonuses andmissions."


    "Coincidentally, the position of Marketing Director has been vacant for almost a year now. So the


    company decided to promote me to that position."


    "You''re amazing, honey!" Billy was slightly surprised. "I had no idea you were so capable at your


    job!"


    He originally thought that Derek had arranged this promotion for her but he didn''t expect Harleen to


    earn it through her own abilities.


    He secretly gave her a thumbs up!


    Harleen smiled yfully and said, "Of course! How else could I match up with my warrior husband?


    I have to keep working hard so as not to embarrass you too much!"


    "You don''t have to work so hard though," Billy said softly. "I just wanted you to have something


    meaningful to do instead of being bored at home all day. Besides, even if you never worked a day in


    your life, I could still support us both."


    "No way!" Harleen shook her head firmly. "I don''t want to be a burden on you!"


    "And besides, working is something I enjoy doing. It gives me a sense of aplishment."


    "Even when I was at Knight Group''s small branch office in Cloud City before, I never cked off. In


    fact, people knew me there as a workaholic."


    "I''ve learned quite a bit over these years and now that I''m on this bigger tform, it''s perfect for


    me!"


    "Really? That''s good, as long as my wife doesn''t feel too tired," Billy smiled.


    "Not tired at all, I love this job," Harleen replied loudly.


    Twenty minutester, Billy parked the car in the parking lot of an antique restaurant.


    "Husband, my colleagues are looking forward to meeting you!" Harleen took Billy''s arm and walked


    towards the restaurant entrance.


    "Why are they looking forward to meeting me?" Billyughed and responded. "Do they want to see


    what kind of man can match up with the most beautiful woman in Ozin?"


    "Congrattions, you got it right." Harleen smiled. "I told them that my husband is excellent, very


    excellent. But they said they have to see it for themselves."


    "Then I should go buy a new outfit first today and maybe get a haircut or something."


    "No need. You''re already great like this. If you dress up even more handsome than this I''m afraid


    someone else will steal you away," Harleen made a yful face.


    "Wife do you reallyck confidence in yourself? You''re the most beautiful woman in Ozin!"


    "That''s not necessarily true. What if you meet a woman who is better than me in every aspect


    except looks? Who can guarantee that you won''t change your mind?"


    "Even if you don''t have confidence in yourself, believe in me..." Billyughed heartily.


    Over the years as King of the West, he had met many women who were both beautiful and talented


    but none had captured his heart yet. And now that he was officially married to Harleen and had


    Tasha he was even less likely to be attracted by other women outside their rtionship.


    "And, you''re so excellent, who knows when you''ll catch the eye of some heiress from a wealthy


    family? That''s why I have to be even more outstanding as soon as possible and not give other


    women any chance!"


    "Haha, okay!" Billy responded with augh.


    After a brief pause, he seemed to remember something and asked with another smile. "Wife,


    haven''t your colleagues at thepany seen me propose to you? Don''t they know us?"

    "Yeah!" Harleen nodded. "During those days, everyone in thepany went on a trip out of town,


    so they weren''t in Ozin."


    "No wonder!" Billyughed again.


    Soon after, the two arrived at arge private room on the third floor. Upon entering and looking


    around, Billy saw that there was an oversized round table that could seat thirty or forty people inside


    the room; except for two empty seats at the head of table where they were supposed to sit down


    later on; all other positions were already upied by men and women who were mostly young


    people chatting happily with each other.


    "Ms Knight! You''re here!" Ava Jones ran over first upon seeing Harleen and Billy.


    Others also stopped talking simultaneously and their eyes turned towards them one after another.
