"At the critical moment, when you had to fight for security for your children, you were so brave and you actually barged into someone else's wedding. Sabrina, you made me understand one thing—no matter how terrible the circumstance a woman is in, she can never lose the proud queen in her! Also, no matter the time and place, I can never have any wild dreams. I should never hope that Prince Charming will come to rescue, for example."
Sabrina nodded emotionally. "Yes, when I... was very poor, when I was at the lowest point in my life, I had not filled my stomach or had any hot water to drink for a few days, but I have never fantasized that a Prince Charming would come to my rescue. Everything that I have is what I’ve
fought hard for bit by bit with my own hands. Eevonne, good girl, when a person is facing adversity, no matter how adverse it is and no matter unbearable the situation is, it's fine. As long as you don’t do anything that goes against your conscience and follow your heart, you will be invincible. Do you understand?"
Eevonne nodded, crying. "I understand, Sabrina. You've truly inspired me so much. I've understood the direction of how I should conduct myself in the future. I have to be firm with myself and I can't be swayed by other people's opinions. I can't begin to feel inferior and lose my direction as soon as others comment about me and say that I'm from the countryside and have no education. I have to have my own ideas and judgments at all times. Also, I have to do my best to treat others while taking on a neutral stance. I would also let everything that happened in the past be gone with the wind. I won't let them occupy my memory and let me be in pain. From today on, I want to be a strong and calm girl! Wish me luck, Sabrina!"
"It's actually very simple, Eevonne. You just have to let go of everything that you shouldn't care about and never have any wild expectations. However, you have to do your best to do everything perfectly and then have your own objective judgment. That's it," Sabrina summarized in an encouraging tone.
"Mm-hmm! I will definitely produce good results to repay your favor for guiding me today." Eevonne stood up and bowed respectfully to Sabrina.
Ruth, who was at the side, smiled and said. "The three of us are good friends that used to shop together and gossip together, but Yvonne is not here now. Your name happens to be Eevonne. If you need any help in the future, just tell me. I can help you as well."
Eevonne smiled gladly. "Thank you, Ruth. This is what I have in mind now. I want to find a job. No matter if the job is good or bad. As long as someone is willing to hire me, I do the job. Even if I had to sweep the streets or move bricks on the construction site, I'll be fine. I have to find a job. After I've secured my first job, I'll buy a used bicycle and I'll work as a delivery person."
After a pause, Eevonne said again, "Then after that—"
As soon as she said that, Sabrina cut her off. "Eevonne. It's like this. The Ford Group is currently recruiting entry-level employees, which is a tally clerk. It's actually just a person doing odd jobs. The day-to-day responsibility is to distribute parcels to each department and then do odd jobs like running some errands. Are you willing to do that?"
Eevonne was extremely excited after she heard that. "Yes, yes, I am very willing! Sabrina, I'm fine with anything I'm asked to do. I can also brush toilets! All these are good opportunities for me to train myself and let myself become calm."
Sabrina nodded and her tone also became serious. "Eevonne, after you've got to the Ford Group, nobody would know you.
That's because the Ford Group is now comanaged by five managing directors, and Kingston is away and is not home all year around. You can only rely on yourself. You have to remember that you must be humble and sincere." "I understand! Thank you for your guidance, Sabrina. I will work hard!" Eevonne nodded her head with all her might.
Only then did Sabrina ask, "Oh, yes, what did you want to say just now?"
Eevonne scratched her head, feeling a little shy. "Can L.visit Yvonne's parents?"
