"Tell me, Leighton.How much money do top-tier people like you make in a year?"
Leighton was taken aback and did not know what to say.Keegan sipped his tea calmly, thinking abouthow Stella's social skills had improved.

"30 mil?"
Leighton shook his head.
"50 mil?"
Leighton shook his head again.
"100 million dollars?"
Leighton remained stationary this time, and Stella's eyes widened.
"After taxes?" She asked.novelbin
The man nodded.
Stella put her arms around him and said, "You've gotta teach me how.I wanna earn some money too."

"We'll go once it snows this year, okay?"
"Can we go for two weeks?"
