I suddenly felt like my life was on an upswing. Looking at Jacob with admiration, I felt his image in my mind grow even more impressive. That evening, we met the lawyer, a very capable-looking woman. "This is Winona James, another classmate of mine."
"Miss James, nice to meet you. Mr. Elody's classmates are all outstanding." I praised her. We met at the rooftop bar of a landmark building in the city center, offering a panoramic view of the city's nightscape.
"I've heard about you from Jacob. He always praises you, saying you're young, hardworking and very promising," Winona said with a smile.
I didn't expect Mr. Elody to praise me. Over the past five years, our department went through many personnel changes and Jacob's rise to his position wasn't easy. I witnessed his struggles and betrayals in the workplace, so as someone who has been loyal to him from the beginning, he always took me to meet clients. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to alcohol, so every time we went out, he had to drink for me.
"It's a pity I'm not a man, otherwise, I'd go all out for Mr. Elody." I joked.
