Selena muttered to herself, "What's so great about that jerk Lucas anyway? He doesn't even like Aveline and won't agree to a divorce."

Every time she thought about him, she had to spit in disgust. "Ugh, what bad luck!"

Fifteen minutes later.

Aveline appeared at the entrance of the restaurant. Selena immediately rushed over, pulling her to a seat and pointing to a guy delivering food not far away." Look, there he is."

Aveline looked over and saw Sidney in a waiter's uniform, delivering meals.

Selena raised her hand. "Waiter!"

Sidney responded instinctively, "Yes, how can I help you?"

He turned and saw Aveline smiling at him. Sidney was startled but then smiled back as he approached. "Miss Young, when did you get here?"

Aveline replied, "I just arrived. Why are you working here as a waiter?"

Sidney's eyes flickered as he said, "I was let go, so I came here."

Aveline's brow furrowed. "What happened? Why were you dismissed?"

Selena scoffed, "It must be that bastard Lucas's doing! It's not the first time he's pulled something like this!"

Aveline's frown deepened, her expression growing serious.

Lucas targeted Sidney? Why? Was it just because she was close to Sidney? But Sidney saved her! Was she supposed to be ungrateful to her savior? Sidney said, "It has nothing to do with anyone else. It's my own issue. I must not have been good enough, so the boss didn't want to keep me." Selena slammed the table. "What do you mean you're not good enough? I'm sure Lucas is behind this!": owner of this content.

Aveline was silent for a moment, then looked at Sidney and asked, "Do you want to continue in architectural design?"

Sidney's eyes lit up. "I do, but... it takes time to make money in that field, and I need money now."

Aveline smiled. "Don't worry about that. If you want, come to my place. Our studio just opened not long ago, and we need fresh talent." "Really?" Sidney asked, surprised.

Aveline nodded. "But I can't guarantee you'll be hired. You'll need to show your real skills."

She then gave him the address of the studio.

Sidney took note. "I'll definitely consider it!"

"Good. Now, go back to work," Aveline said with a smile.

Sidney turned and left, while Selena rested her chin on her hand, watching him go. "Oh, my dear, you've been smiling so much since you saw him."

Aveline gave her a resigned look. "What did you order? Can we finish it all?"

Selena grinned. "I knew you were coming, so I ordered a lot of your favorite dishes. Dig in!"

Aveline didn't hesitate and picked up her utensils to start eating.

She expected Sidney to take some time to think it over, but to her surprise, he showed up at the studio in the afternoon.

Seeing her, he gave a slight smile.

Maria came out and asked, "Are you Sidney Troy?"

"Yes." Sidney handed over his resume.

Maria glanced through it and said, "You participated in many major architectural projects during college. Why did you stop later?" Sidney replied, "It was due to personal reasons."

Maria raised an eyebrow and said, "Alright, let's chat more in details."

Watching this, Aveline knew Sidney was as good as hired!
