Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Yet, Aurelia ended up with just a little over ten grand.

She glanced at Jessica and Maria. “Are you guys still hiring?”

Jessica asked, “By the way, you got fired by Young, right? Don’t worry, we’ll check if other companies in this building are hiring.

“But first, tell us about your qualifications. Where did you graduate from? How many languages do you speak? Normish, Jalish, and Fradish are pretty common here. Oh, there are lots of Germono clients upstairs lately too.”

“I’m okay with Normish. Basic communication isn’t a big deal,” Aurelia replied.

“What certifications do you have?”

“Just a college English test level 4.”

“Heh, are you joking? Almost every college student can pass the college English test level 4. What kind of certification is that? It’s the proficiency test certificates in foreign

languages that matter here.” Maria chuckled.

Aurelia pursed her lips at Maria’s words. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Then, upon realizing that Aurelia wasn’t joking, Maria quickly apologized, “Ms. Simmons, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean anything by it.”

“No worries, it’s on me,” Aurelia awkwardly said. She was aware of her lack of brilliance. And despite graduating from a decent university, she felt that it was just luck.

After graduation, Aurelia joined Young and always believed that her skills could pave the way for success. But little did she know, her abilities weren’t even that of a stepping

stone for others.

Maria then tried to comfort Aurelia. “Ms. Simmons, I know it might not be what you want to hear, but it’s the truth. With Young’s current status, there isn’t much room for advancement even if you’re skilled. It would be a shame for someone as capable as you to stay here when there are bigger opportunities out there.”

Jessica chimed in, “In small companies, it’s all about getting the job done, but in big companies, it’s about building relationships. You’ve just faced so many issues at Young because the company’s internal workings are chaotic, and it doesn’t make sense to stay when it’s not a good fit anyway.”

Aurelia observed the two receptionists.

They truly embodied the essence of white–collar workers in this building. Despite only. being receptionists, their understanding of corporate dynamics far surpassed hers because they’d been exposed to the workings of large companies.

“Thanks for the advice, I got it,” Aurelia said. She was surprisingly jolted into awareness by their words, and perhaps it indeed was time for her to rethink her career path.

Initially, she had been considering finding another advertising company similar to Young, given her experience. But now, she realized that she’d inadvertently boxed

herself in.

At just 25 years old, what couldn’t she do? What couldn’t she learn?

As Aurelia pondered these questions, a commotion erupted from inside the meeting room. So, she promptly stood up to see what was going on with Leslie.

Then, just as she stood up, Aurelia saw Cynthia stepping out of the meeting room.

She had a pad in hand and was walking alongside Leslie. They were both engrossed in the pad, as if they were on a video call. They were also effortlessly and openly chatting between themselves.

Aurelia couldn’t understand a word, but Jessica and Maria beside her muttered, “The Framano clients are coming again. Looks like we’ll have some busy days ahead.”

The stark contrast left Aurelia speechless, and before she could even greet Leslie, Cynthia blocked her path. Then, Aurelia simply watched as Leslie walked past her.

After a moment of hesitation, Aurelia turned to Jessica and Maria. “Um… Where did you guys learn your foreign languages? Could you recommend a place?”

“I’ll recommend a place where the teachers have authentic accents.”

“Thanks.”

“Don’t worry about being polite with us. Just go ahead and shut down those thoughts from the girls upstairs and downstairs,” Maria said in exasperation.

“Yeah, we can’t keep eating those snacks. Otherwise, we’ll need new uniforms soon. Besides, you could also put a stop to Ms. Whitlock’s interest in Leslie, right?” Jessica

winked at Aurelia.

“But… I don’t have a clue.” Aurelia bit her lip.
