The Wrong Woman

Imogen spent the whole day at the job market, submitting numerous resumes, but heard nothing back.

She graduated from a technical college with a degree in "Aircraft Maintenance Engineering and Management", a highly specialized field that no companies seemed interested in.

Her dream was to work in the aerospace industry, but her qualifications were not enough. She was stuck between aiming too high and settling too low.

Just as she was about to give up and go back to running her online store, an old classmate called.

"Imogen, let's meet up. A bunch of our high school friends are having a reunion."

Just as she was about to decline, the caller added, "A lot of our classmates have become big bosses. They're doing great."

Imogen thought networking was crucial for finding a job, so maybe her classmates could help her out. After some consideration, she agreed.

Several men and women were gathered in the luxurious hotel suite of Phoenicia Grand Hotel. As Imogen walked into the room, she was greeted by the class monitor from high school, Drake Coffey. "Imogen, our beauty queen! It's been a long time," Drake greeted as he shook her hands.

Imogen smiled warmly and exchanged pleasantries with her old classmates. Everyone greeted her cheerfully. Her former best friend, Scarlett, was also there at the time.
