    She turned her gaze to Kevan and asked, “How much does cost?”


    However, Kevan avoided her question and answered. “It’s not expensive, don’t worry.”


    Mania couldn’t help butugh and eximed with envy. “Larissa, Kevan treats you so well”


    Alter speaking, she gave her own husband a disdainful look, bent her elbow, and nudged his waist,


    saying. “You should learn from him!”


    Jacob smiled sheepishly and muttered. “You need money to afford that


    Maria continued toin, “It’s because you’re clumsy and don’t know how to butter up your


    superiors. You’re always burying yourself in work, what’s the use of that? Look at the others who joined


    thepany at the same time as you. They either became department managers or jumped to other


    companies with double sries. But you, after so many years, you’re still just a team leader!

    Jacob tugged at her sleeves, embarrassedly, and spoke in a lower voice, “Darling, please don’t


    embarrass me in front of others.”


    Maria snorted but held her tongue.


    At this time, Kevan spoke up. “Forgive me for asking, but where does Jacob work?


    Jacob answered, “I work at the architectural institute under Soaring Corporation. Our team designed


    the Star View Hotel on Starry


    Mountain.”


    He seemed very satisfied with his work and beamed with pride at the mention of Star View Hotel


    As neighbors for over a year. Larissa had never inquired about personal matters, so she was quite


    surprised to hear that he worked at Soaring Corporation


    Kevan didn’t anticipate this coincidence either, but he did not look too shocked, so no one could tell


    what he was thinking.


    “I just visited Star View Hotel recently!” Larissa eximed excitedly. “The design of the celling on the


    top floor is truly amazing!”


    “Really?” Jacob became even more proud as he straightened his back, no longer crouching over


    timidly as when he was reprimanded by


    Maria earlier.


    “What are you so proud of? Maria pped his back instantly extinguishing his arrogance. “You don’t


    know how foolish he is! The Star View Hotel project won a design gold award within thepany at the


    time. As the team leader, he could have been promoted. But guess what? Because of this idiot’s


    clumsiness, he tumbled his speech at the ceremony, and the vice team leader had to give the


    eptance speech. As a result the vice team leader caught the attention of the superiors, got


    promoted to deputy manager, and is now skyrocketing in his career! Doesn’t that make you furious?”


    “Well Liam is also quite capable.” Jacob offered weakly. “Actually, I’m quite content with my current


    position. I can focus on designing without having to do other unrted tasks.”


    “See! He uses this excuse to brush me off every day!” Ma eximed, herce turning red with anger.


    Kevan interjected at the right moment, “I actually think that someone like Jacob, who wholeheartedly


    focuses on his profession, is exactly what Soaring Corporation needs the most.”


    “What’s the use of being needed the most? If he doesn’t get promoted, how much is he going to get


    paid for merely gaining experience?” Maria sighed with a distressed expression. “Because our ie


    has never increased, I’m still childless even in my thirties. If we go on like this. I definitely won’t be


    having any children in myte thirties. I would only be making it hard for mysell and risk the baby’s


    health!”


    Larissa couldn’t empathize with Maria’s worries or provide any good solutions. She could only offer


    some empty words offort, “When the timees, things will naturally work out. These difficulties


    will pass.”


    Kevan also said. “That’s right, these difficulties will pass quickly.”
