Ever since Courtney left home, she had been living a privileged life and had not seen any hardship, so her resume was rather empty with only a description of her educational history and a remark at the end that stated she had no bad habits.

"I don't really know what to put in it. I didn't get any certificates during my time at university because my parents said I didn't need to worry about that. They told me to work for our family business after I graduated so I wouldn't have to suffer out there. I thought they meant it, but they turned around to set me up for an arranged marriage as soon as I graduate!" Courtney sighed.

"Why don't we swap places, then?" Shelly stood from the bed.

Courtney shook her head. "Forget it! I will go home once I have spent all the money I have left."

"Have you thought things through?"

"After seeing how little you end up with despite how hard you try, I've realized it's best for me to go home."

Courtney's words left Shelly feeling conflicted. "You are right. Ordinary people don't get much, despite how hard they work. If you return to your parents, at least you won't have to worry about money. If you don't like who they set you up with, you can get them to arrange another person for you."

"Shelly, you are acting weird today. Are you in some kind of shock?"

"I didn't get to peek into the lives of rich people before, and I did yesterday. It does come as a shock." Shelley recalled the gifts Layla had given out at her wedding and wondered how many years of hard work i would take for her to obtain something they could offer others so easily.
