“Let’s do this! Two years, and we’ll both be rich enough to retire early. Then we can start our security company and be the bosses, Sandra said, her sweet, innocent face making the idea sound way too tempting.

Lucy gave a playful salute. “Thanks, Sandra! My goal is to become a wealthy woman and live the good life with a handsome

guy

“Then we’ll only hire guys who are 6.2 feet tall with eight–pack abs,” Sandra whistled, her tone playful with a touch of mischief.

“Ugh…” Lucy had said it casually at first, but now she was starting to be convinced.

Joycelyn just rolled her eyes.

“Haddy is way easier to get along with than that guy with the surname Willows. What if they make things tough for you? Joycelyn’s gonna be mad at Ellison because of that,” Sandra said, continuing her persuasion.

“Yeah, you’ve got a point,” Lucy said, her hesitation slowly fading.

Although her work performance was great in the department, her relationships with her colleagues were tense.

“Exactly. The high–society circles can be complicated. I don’t fully understand it, but I don’t want you to feel mistreated. You’re the type who keeps everything to yourself,” Sandra added.

With Susan’s status, even Isolde would show respect to the Willows family. If things didn’t go smoothly, staying at Grant Group could become unbearable for Lucy.

“Plus, Haddy’s still single. He’s from a well–established, wealthy family. He’s a much better option than dealing with the higher–ups. Everyone knows him, and when you have connections, things go so much smoother,” Sandra said, getting more excited.

Joycelyn couldn’t help but join in the gossip, “So, why isn’t Haddy married yet?”

“High–society women from all over the world are lining up for blind dates with him, but he doesn’t care. I used to joke that he and Ellison were a couple,” Sandra said, grinning.
