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.
After sitting down, a classmate asked curiously, "Imogen, Scarlett said you're married!"
Imogen took a sip of water and replied calmly, "Yes, I am."
"How come you didn't invite us to your wedding?"
Imogen replied, "We didn't have a ceremony."
Another classmate inquired, "Where's your husband from? Do we know him?"
Imogen said, "You don't know him."
Everyone began commenting on Imogen. She was indeed the least successful among them.
Some had become big bosses, some worked for state-owned enterprises, and others were doctors, lawyers, and professionals in various fields. Even Scarlett had become a well-known blogger, earning over a hundred thousand a month.
Imogen kept drinking her water, enduring the remarks laced with sarcasm and false concern.
The reunion was nothing more than a farce. It was simply a small networking circle. Apart from that, it was also a circle for those with a little bit of wealth to compare and socialize.
As the dishes arrived, people ate, drank, and chatted. There was a slightly tipsy man who ignored all decorum and said, "Imogen, if you had chosen me back then, you'd be living in a luxury apartment and riding in a fancy car now."
Everyone laughed. Imogen felt embarrassed and humiliated, but she still forced a smile.
The man continued, "Everyone thought you and Ethan were a couple. You turned down a lot of good men for him, right? In the end, he married Scarlett. Isn't that ironic?"
Scarlett said as she smiled, "Hey, my husband and I are living happily now. Don't joke about my husband!"

Oh God I'd die broken-heart if Sienna and Daniel doesn't end up together happily ever after!!...
