Marrying

“What?” Dylan was so startled that he almost fell off his chair, barely managing to steady himself on the table. 

It wasn’t that he was excitable, but Arcton Cars was a dead–end department, and being transferred here was akin to being exiled. He never expected the headquarters to send someone over. ‘Could it be that they were going to transfer me back to Noria Group?‘ he wondered. 

The thought sent a surge of wild joy through him, and he quickly straightened his suit to receive the visitor. 

Before he could step out, the visitor arrived first. A young man in a gray suit, clutching a briefcase, appeared at the door. “Hello, Mr. Hart.” 

Dylan rushed over at the sight of him, exchanging pleasantries for a while, and recognized the visitor as Charles’s secretary. ‘Could he be here to relay orders from Mr. Hudson?‘ Dylan pondered. 

Thinking about finally leaving this shabby place and returning to Noria Group, Dylan was so elated that his eyes almost narrowed into a line. “How has Mr. Hudson been lately? Just got my hands on some premium coffee beans, courtesy of a friend. I heard Charles is a coffee lover. I’ll have to bring him some next time.” 

“I’ll make sure to pass your kindness along to Mr. Hudson,” replied the secretary. 

Dylan immediately asked, “No worries. I’ll hand it over to Mr. Hudson myself when I get back to Noria Group. By the way, where’s my transfer notice?” 

The secretary was puzzled, asking with a frown, “What transfer notice?” 

Dylan stammered, “No transfer notice? Didn’t you come to give me…” 

The young secretary suddenly realized. “I did come for something, but I didn’t have a transfer notice. However, I have an important document to hand over to you. It’s a great news!” 

A bright smile crept onto Dylan’s face again. ‘Of course. I’m going to be transferred to the headquarters!‘ he cheered inwardly. 

As he was about to pick the document up, the secretary continued, “I’m sure you already know about the new super luxury car dealership. It’s hiring new staff, and Arcton Cars also has a quota!” 

Dylan’s smile froze instantly at this. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The young secretary took out a document from the briefcase, which was the talent manual of the new car dealership. “Each branch has only one or two spots, and since Arcton Cars is smaller in scale, it has only one spot, which goes to the person with the best sales performance in the last year. May I ask who among you…” 

Everyone in the office all turned to look at Valerie simultaneously. The young secretary immediately understood and handed the document to Valerie, adding, “This is a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity. Congratulations!” 

Valerie quickly responded with a few words of thanks. After the secretary delivered the documents and took his leave, Valerie perused the papers, feeling a sense of unreality. 

Finally, Katherine exclaimed in surprise, “Valerie, when you said you were leaving Arcton Cars, I thought you were going to quit. Turns out you’re getting promoted to Noria Group!” 

Valerie was actually quite shocked herself. When she said she was leaving, she really meant she was going to resign. 

After all, she couldn’t be as busy as before with her pregnancy. It was time to find a slightly easier job. She was still hesitating, but then Isabel and Dylan took turns to cause her trouble. Although she could handle them, she always felt it was a waste of time dealing with such people. 

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to leave, Noria Group sent her the job offer. 

Valerie was aware of the talent selection at the new luxury car dealership but also knew the competition was fierce. Given that Noria Group would give priority to their own people, she hadn’t given it much thought, yet to her surprise, such a great opportunity had landed on her lap. 

Her colleagues all came over to join in the excitement. 

“This new luxury car dealership is different from the others; it’s more about providing comprehensive luxury car services to clients rather than just sales. The workload is light, and the pay is great,” one girl said. 

“I never thought we would have a spot, too. I’m so jealous of Valerie!” another added. 

“When did you get married, Valerie? Now you have both a happy marriage and a good job! How enviable!” 

Only Dylan was glaring at the documents in Valerie’s hand as if he still couldn’t accept the result, cursing inwardly why it had to be Valerie. 

“Valerie, vou know some people wa

mocked, giving Dylan a cool glance. 

Dylan was seething inside, yet he didn’t dare to retort; instead, he sullenly picked up his briefcase and returned to his office. 

Others just found this novel and thought Valerie was incredibly lucky. Only Dylan knew how absurd it was that this document would be delivered to Arcton Cars. Noria Group always looked down on Arcton Cars, especially since Arcton Cars targeted the lower market, which was no match for luxury cars. Moreover, there were few positions available at the luxury car dealership itself. Noria Group’s own dealerships were scrambling for positions, so how could they possibly give a spot to Arcton Cars? Yet they did. 

Charles’s secretary even came to deliver the documents to Valerie himself. 

If Dylan hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it. This definitely wasn’t just a matter of Valerie being lucky; he even felt this document was created specifically to be delivered to Valerie. 

‘Who on earth is she?‘ Dylan was filled with questions.
