Chapter 391
Aurelia’s confusion seemed to plque Lucia’s interest, and seeing this usually serious woman now chatting livellly beside her was quite a change.
Lucia explained, “To be honest, I’ve seen all sorts of couples. And in most cases, men like to flaunt their skills to some extent in publle while women tend to give their man some dignity and stand by.
“But you and Mr. Synder are a different story. He may come off as stern, but around you, he’s quite reserved and is even willing to take a back seat.
“Not many men are willing to do that.
“And you surprised me as well. You’re a very tolerant person, and you give off the sense of having some sort of hidden capability. Yet, you willingly give in to Mr. Synder’s sharpness. You two… are like the tea I brew bitter at first, then sweet with a lingering
aftertaste.” Lucia smiled at Aurelia.
Aurelia was taken aback. “Willingly?”
Who would willingly endure Leslie’s sharpness? He could infuriate people with just a few words!
Lucia chuckled. “Isn’t that how it is? Mr. Synder normally seems like he might be tough to handle, but the way you two look at each other is different.
“Doesn’t that show that you’re both okay with it?”
Aurelia blinked, wanting to explain herself.
But her actions only amused Lucia even more.
She said, “Ms. Simmons, I didn’t expect you to have such a cute side, You young people are really interesting.”
“Ms. Lawson, stop laughing, I’m getting nervous,” Aurelia said, feeling embarrassed.
“Let’s talk about business then. Did Young fire you?”
“Yeah.” Talking about Young instantly dampened Aurelia’s mood.
“Well, that’s their loss then. You should aim for a bigger stage. Don’t limit yourself,”
Lucia said.

Her words were sincere. After all, Aurelia’s ability in handling herself during the online rumor crisis was commendable. What’s more, she’d even emerged victorious in the end.
Aurelia’s calmness under pressure was already rare, but what set her apart was her constant sense of tranquility and lack of anxiety.
After some thought, Aurelia asked, “Ms. Lawson, do you happen to know of any companies that are hiring?”
Lucia pondered for a moment. “Currently, there aren’t any positions suitable for you. In the advertising industry, it’s not just about being smart, connections matter too.
“Companies beyond Young prioritize qualifications and reputation. But those below struggle to compete with big companies and end up with smaller projects instead. So, it wouldn’t be worth your time to join them, especially considering that you were willing to settle for a company that was less than Young.”
Aurelia instinctively shook her head. It seemed like job hunting was going to be trickier
now.
She let out a soft sigh.
Then, Lucia seemed to have thought of something and said, “Oh, by the way, isn’t One Technology looking for marketing planners? One Technology is currently the hottest company and seems to have a bright future ahead. It’s much better to go there than to Young.”
“But is it true that One Technology’s boss doesn’t hire female employees? And isn’t Ms. Whitlock the only woman among the core staff?” Aurelia asked.
“Nah, I heard from my friend that there’s no gender restriction, and quite a few people have already submitted their resumés.
“If you really want to try, you’d better hurry. That company won’t be hiring for long,” Lucia reminded Aurelia.
“Okay.” Aurelia nodded.
Then, she allowed the makeup artist to complete her work while Aurelia’s own mind was buzzing with Lucia’s words.
Could she really join One Technology?
As Aurelia was lost in her thoughts, the makeup artist put the finishing touches on her face and said, “Ms. Simmons, you’ve got a face fit for the stars. You’re no less than those
er 201
beautiful celebrities.”
Meanwhile, Lucia stood behind Aurelia. Then, she glanced at her and nodded. “Indeed, you’re really beautiful. If things don’t work out, I’ll give you a referral.”
“No, thanks. That’s not for me.” Aurelia brushed their compliments off as mere politeness.
After all, she had never been noticed, so how could she be a star?
“Okay, let’s go for the interview,” Lucia said.
“Sure.” Aurelia got up and headed to the interview area. Then, she greeted the host and adjusted her microphone.
After the live director’s briefing, the interview commenced.
