NovelUSAChapter 179 Serena had already cto an answer in her mind, but it wasn't something she could just tell Alicia outright.
"We're legally married on paper. Of course, he wouldn't treattoo badly." "W-What?" Alicia practically pounced on her in excitement. "My idol is actually married to my amazing boss? Oh my god, I would've never even dreamed of this! Does this mean I can finally shake hands with him next time? I really admire him!" Serena was caught between laughter and exasperation. She couldn't exactly promise a handshake on Hugh's behalf, so she could only say she'd try to arrange it next time.
That alone made Alicia so happy she was practically floating.
That afternoon, fueled by excitement, she worked like a machine, practically doing the work of three people and quickly wrapping up all her tasks.

As she stepped out of the company's entrance, her eyes immediately landed on Alicia, who was wearing a helmet and straddling a tiny electric scooter.
It was not just any scooter. It was a second-hand one, with chipped and peeling paint.
Alicia saw her standing there and assumed she had no ride. "Need a lift to the subway?" Serena opened her mouth but hesitated.
Did her right-hand woman commute to work every day on a second-hand electric scooter? That wouldn't do.
The women who worked for her needed to represent the brand. Without another word, Serena pulled off Alicia's helmet and asked, "Do you have a driver's license?" "Yeah. I got one in college, but why-huh?" Before she could finish, Serena dragged her straight to the nearest car dealership. Rows of sleek cars gleamed under the showroom lights.
Serena called over a sales associate and turned to Alicia. "Pick one. What kind of car do you like?" Alicia was stunned. Then, seeing the price tags, she frantically waved her hands. "N-No! There's no need! My scooter is fine for commuting, and I can always take a taxi for business trips-" "Consider it a company car," Serena cut her off. "If I want my best people to perform at their best, I need to provide them with the right resources.
"I think these SUVs are pretty nice. See if any of them catch your eye." She led Alicia, along with the sales associate, to look at the different models.
Hearing prices ranging from 200 thousand to several million dollars, Alicia felt like she was blacking out repeatedly. She had never seen so much money in her life.
But Serena urged her to just pick one. With no way out, she finally pointed at a BMW SUV. "This one, I guess..." It was the cheapest option there.

Serena chuckled and patted her on the shoulder before handing her card directly to the sales associate, her smile gentle.
"Ms. Bowen, congratulations on your new car. You'll get used to this soon enough." Alicia blinked. "Get used to... picking company cars?"
Serena's lips curved slightly. "Once I bring Amber Group back to the top, you'll be choosing your own house and car." "My own house... and car?" Alicia murmured, clutching the strap of her bag tightly.
As someone from the countryside, could she really build a future in this big city? Doubt crept in.
Then, she looked at Serena's unwavering smile again, And for the first ta spark of hope ignited in her chest. If it was Serena leading the way, maybe she really could look forward to the future.
