Elisa teased the secretary, “Do you want to get married, Helen? I can introduce some guys to you. I guarantee you’ll be happy for the rest of your life.”
Helen was a young, fresh graduate and was recently hired as Serenity’s secretary.
Helen refused politely. “Thank you, Ms. Stone. However, I’ve been dating my boyfriend since I was in uni. We’re in a steady relationship, and I have no thoughts of breaking up.”
“Where does your boyfriend work?” Elisa asked.
“He recently got a job at a small company. I don’t know if he’ll stay for long. He said his remuneration package isn’t as good as mine.”
Upon mentioning her boyfriend’s job, Helen's smiling expression turned into worry.
She had a good relationship with him. However, he had not gotten any good job offers but still liked comparing himself with her.
He believed that as a man, his salary could not be less than that of his partner.
He found it embarrassing.
Nevertheless, just like Helen, he was a fresh graduate without much experience or capabilities. Being able to get a job related to his studies was good enough. Many others usually end up working in a different industry than what they studied in university.
Why be disappointed when one could land a job that could keep oneself afloat?
While there was a surplus of fresh graduates, good job opportunities were scarce.
There would be many competitors interviewing for companies with good benefits and reputations. While Helen’s boyfriend wanted to join mega-corporations, he could not stand out in the sea of fresh graduates. In the end, he had to settle for a small company.
Naturally, the benefits a small company could offer were incomparable to Helen’s—her boss being the missus of the York family.
The two other co-founders came from strong families as well.
