Bill took Rosita and Ottilie to meet the company's top boss, Mr. Seven.
Mr. Seven was clearly impressed with Ottilie and wasted no time before instructing his assistant to bring over a contract.
The first thing Ottilie did when she got the contract was check the signing bonus.
When she saw the number, her heart skipped a beat—fifty million dollars!
Even the most generous offer from other companies trying to poach her never went above thirty million.
Ottilie felt like she'd hit the jackpot. She didn't hesitate for a second before signing her name.
With the bonus in her account, Ottilie immediately transferred eight million to Rosita.
Rosita was taken aback by the amount.
Ottilie squeezed Rosita's hand and lowered her voice. "Rosita, I'm giving you an extra three million, but you have to do me a favor. If my grandma asks, just tell her the signing bonus was thirty million, okay?"
The realization dawned on Rosita instantly.
The Kensington family always favored the sons over the daughters. There was no way Madeline would let Ottilie keep all the money for herself.
Ottilie just wanted to keep something back for herself.
"Don't worry," Rosita said, more than happy to help for an extra three million. "Your secret's safe with me."
"Thank you, Rosita!"
…
That same evening, Rosita moved into the presidential suite at Northborough's five-star hotel.
The nightly rate was a staggering twenty-eight thousand dollars, and Rosita prepaid for a month.
Daisy watched Rosita blow through over eight hundred thousand in one go and couldn't help but wince.
But then again, Rosita was a celebrity. Maybe this was just how things worked at the top.
Besides, Rosita could easily earn that much back with a single commercial.
The first thing Rosita did after checking in was draw a bath.
