Genevieve was quite embarrassed.
Throughout the company, it was probably difficult to find another person without a driver’s license
besides her.
When she was at university, several of her roommates got their driver’s licenses.
Genevieve and her roommates got along well and were supposed to get the license together.
Back then, they even boldly declared that after everyone passed the test and their
got licenses, they would hold a reunion ten years later and drive to Xemrich together.
However, she could not raise enough money for the examination fees, which cost a few thousand
dollars. In the end, she fell behind.
After graduation, she was swamped with work. She was constantly cooped up in a small company
before joining Larson Corporation, let alone weekdays.
The boss was a typical money-grubber, selfish, and immorally exploiting the employees.
Genevieve was quite a diligent person. She basically spent her weekends studying hard. That was why
she was able to stand out among the candidates.
She then had the chance to join Larson Corporation, and her life turned around.
However, she had always put getting a driver’s license on hold.
The main reason was that transportation had become too convenient. She only traveled between two
points, her home and the company, which were both close to the subway.
It was only after the CEO asked Genevieve about it that she was reminded about this
matter.
She felt blood rushing to her cheeks as she was embarrassed.
She thought, ‘I, someone living in the 21st century, don’t have a driver’s license.
‘If word were to get out, people with too much imagination might think I come from ancient times.
However, she told Kimberly everything.
With an awkward look, Genevieve said, “Ms. Larson, I haven’t gotten my driver’s license yet. There’s
still a long way to go before I buy a car.”

There was sincerity but also self-reflection in her words.

Unexpectedly, Kimberly did not seem surprised, but a trace of pity flashed across her
eyes.
Kimberly herself was also someone who had experienced a lot.
Hence, she understood Genevieve.
Kimberly smiled knowingly. “It doesn’t matter. You are so young and hardworking. We won’t know who
the winner is until the end.”
Genevieve was delighted to receive encouragement and acknowledgment from her
boss.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Genevieve peeked at Kimberly beside her.
She felt grateful for meeting such a boss during her career.
They entered a luxury clothing store. The place was brightly lit, and the floor was spotless without a
speck of dust. The trendiest clothes hung on both sides of the shop.
It was the first time Genevieve had entered this kind of store.
She usually did not have time to go shopping. When she was still a student, she spent her weekends
and holidays quietly reading in her dormitory or library.
Two of her roommates loved shopping the most. One day, an affordable luxury clothing store opened in
the city the school was in, so they mustered up the courage to check the place out.
However, they kept complaining about the place after they returned, saying they were treated unfairly.
They were dissatisfied with the staff who judged people by their appearance. They saw the two as poor
students, so they displayed a poor attitude in their service and spoke meanly to the two roommates.
Although Genevieve did not experience it personally, her roommates’ harsh reaction left some trauma
in her.
She even tried to imagine herself in their shoes and inserted herself in that situation.
She could not take it either.
From then on, she would always feel an inexplicable panic toward high-end-looking
stores.

This continued until she finally had her own purchasing power, coupled with her growing preference for
a minimalist lifestyle.
That fear gradually subsided.
Kimberly was a regular in this store.
The manager was a young woman in a navy blue business suit with a bow tie at the neckline. Her
makeup was just right, neither heavy nor light.
She looked capable, well-trained, and eloquent.
Naturally, the manager smiled at the sight of her valuable customer.
The shopkeeper walked to the clothes on the left while presenting them in a tone neither too humble
nor arrogant. “Ms. Larson, this is a new style that just arrived today. You can have a look.”
After saying that, she stepped aside and waited for the valuable customer to call her.
Genevieve took in the experience of such high-end service carefully.
It was indeed different.
She mostly shopped her clothes at civilian shopping malls. The staff would always be recommending
various things while she chose her clothes.
The entire shopping experience was terrible
It was especially so for someone shy like Genevieve. Even if she felt uncomfortable, she would not
voice it out.
However, it felt different for her today.
The shopping guide was very quiet and not irritating. Thus, the customers could have a good shopping
experience.
While Genevieve was still comparing the two, she saw Kimberly walking toward her smilingly while Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
holding an off-shoulder dress.
“Genevieve, what do you think about this one?” Kimberly asked with a smile.
Genevieve was dazzled by the beautiful dresses in this store.
At that moment, she truly realized how unique those fashion bloggers’ visions were.
The same shirt could be styled in various ways, conveying different natures.
Genevieve stared at the dress Kimberly held in her hand and sincerely thought it

looked good.
She said, “It looks really good. It’s beautiful.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Kimberly held up the dress in front of Genevieve and measured
around.
Then, Kimberly nodded with satisfaction. “Yes, it indeed looks good. It’s also in your size. Looks like
I’ve got a good eye. Hurry and try it on.”
With that, she started pushing Genevieve toward the fitting room.
Before Genevieve could react, she was shoved into the fitting room.
She hurriedly explained, “That’s not what I mean. I just think it’ll look good on you, Ms. Larson.”
She was so anxious that sweat started forming on her forehead.
All the clothing in this store were luxury items.
Any clothing was priced over a few thousand dollars.
If everyone complimented her, saying it looked good after she was done fitting, Genevieve still could
not afford it.
“If I pretend to be rich and buy this, I might as well cat dirt for the rest of this month, she thought.
Kimberly grinned as she closed the fitting room door, not before reassuring Genevieve.
Kimberly said, “Hurry and try it on. Just think of this as a personal reward from the company. The
performance from last quarter was pretty good. Profits have gone up 20%. That is a very ideal result.”
Genevieve asked, “Didn’t the company already reward the design department?”
Before she could finish her words, Kimberly interrupted her, “What a silly girl you are! Why would
anyone dislike more rewards? You really are the number one fool in Larson Corporation.”
Rendered speechless, Genevieve gingerly tried on the clothes inside.
She feared she might tear such an expensive dress if she used too much force.
She was especially careful when zipping up.
She had learned her lesson, after all.
The fabric would easily get stuck in brittle zippers like this.
Therefore, she was very cautious.
After changing her clothes, Genevieve looked totally different.
She walked out in graceful steps.
As soon as the fitting room door opened, Kimberly turned her eyes in the direction.
“Well, well…” she exclaimed. “How stunning! This is the one. We’ll walk out of the store with this one.
Please package the previous clothes.”
