Wynne yelped, eyes wide.
"Oh right! Serena, do you have any openings at your company?"
"The big shot was right beside me all along!" Alicia was equally stunned. She immediately pulled out her printed résumé, cleared her throat, and straightened her appearance.
Once Serena finished ordering, she gave a proper self-introduction. She wasn't fazed by the curious stares of others. Her speech was well-structured, her demeanor steady yet engaging.
Serena's eyes lit up instantly. She had just acquired Amber Group and was in urgent need of talent.
However, the company wasn't doing well. With someone as capable as Alicia, would she even be willing to join?
Seeing her hesitate, Alicia added, "I just need an opportunity. I don't need to rely on Wynne's connections."
"That's not what I'm worried about. Networking is common in the workplace—it's not a big deal." Serena chuckled helplessly, then briefly explained Amber Group's current situation.
"I can guarantee your salary in the beginning, but as for how far you can go, it might take ten days or half a month if things go well. Or, it could be years. I hope you'll consider it carefully."
As soon as she finished speaking, Alicia smiled. "My answer is yes."
"This is about your future—aren't you going to think it over?" Serena was startled by her decisiveness.
Alicia shook her head. "No need. I believe that like attracts like. If you're Wynne's friend, then you must also be outstanding and resilient. Anything you do won't be bad. Besides, I told you—I just need a chance. And your company offers an opportunity too good to pass up!"
Wynne immediately applauded, praising Alicia's boldness.
Serena couldn't help but laugh. She admired Alicia even more now and thought Wynne had great taste in friends.
With the matter settled, Serena and Alicia exchanged contact information and scheduled a formal meeting.
The three were just about to enjoy their meal when they heard someone say, "How dare a beggar eat at a place like this? Serena, you have such terrible taste in friends. Bringing these two out to dinner—aren't you afraid they'll dirty the Cullinan Mr. Larson bought for you?"
Sarah's voice rang out from the side.
