Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 57

Effie had considered The Etheridge Group before-a company everyone in the industry dreamed of joining.

But now that she was married to Lyman, she'd hesitated.

Still, hearing Lyman encourage her now, she couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

The Etheridge Group wasn't just a big corporation; their jewelry design branch was an industry leader. Landing a position there would be a dream come true. Taking a deep breath, Effie's eyes flashed with determination.

Lyman was right. If she truly had the talent, why shouldn't she go for it? After all, that jewelry design company had always been her ultimate goal.

She owed it to herself to try.

"You're right. I should go for it." Effie lifted her head, meeting Lyman's gaze with resolve. "I'll apply through the normal channels and rely on my own abilities."

A small, approving smile played on Lyman's lips.

He believed in her he knew she would shine at The Etheridge Group.

He squeezed her shoulder gently, his voice both warm and firm. "Go for it. I'll be right behind you."

Effie nodded, a mix of anticipation and nerves fluttering in her chest.
