Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 57: She's Noble Like a Princess

Today was Gemma's happiest day, since it would mark the end of her internship at Solaris Holdings. If she could close the deal today, she would be offered a permanent position. The six-month internship had nearly broken her spirit. As graduation approached, many well-connected students had already secured job offers. Gemma, coming from a modest background, could not rely solely on the meager support from a married middle-aged man, which was hardly enough to cover her expenses.

Six months ago, she followed a friend into a real estate internship. Solaris Holdings was the pinnacle of the industry. Securing a permanent position there meant excellent benefits and compensation, especially as she was currently assigned to the Seacliff Manor project, an entire district of villas. Selling just one could earn her a substantial commission.

Fortuitously, her friend called last night with news of an acute appendicitis attack, rendering her unable to work today. She handed over an important client to Gemma, agreeing to split the commission if the sale went through. This client was crucial, and a successful deal would guarantee Gemma's promotion.

Gemma also harbored a personal motive. She saw this as an opportunity to mingle with the wealthy, assuming that anyone who could afford such property must be affluent. According to her friend, today's buyer was a young man. Gemma speculated that he must be a rich youth, prompting her to rise early and dress carefully.

She wore a white blouse and a blazer, having tailored her skirt slightly shorter to accentuate her legs, confident in her appearance and even spritzing on some light perfume. With a thick stack of documents in hand and repeatedly retouching her makeup in excitement, Gemma was ready to get the man. At this moment, her phone rang. Recognizing the number, she brightened considerably.

"Hello, yes, it's me. I'll be right there to meet you," she said before applying another layer of lipstick and stepping out in her high heels.
