143 Christmas Eve and Colleague

Selina asked, "But… she's not going home for Christmas?"

Luke shrugged. "You know that many kids run wild and never go home once they get free. Jimena said that she wanted to stay here and try her luck."

Selina asked, "At becoming a star?"

Luke said in amusement, "No, she's changed her goal. A manager in her company called Gennero enlightened her, and she wants to see if she can work in the finance sector."

Selina remarked, "…Is she drunk? Aren't finance people all from Ivy League schools? Did she even pass maths in high school?"

Luke secretly agreed with her. Finance was all about numbers, and considering Jimena's lack of talent in maths, it was unlikely that she would become a finance elite.

But Luke could only say, "She's still young. Nobody can stop her from trying everything; that's her right."

Selina didn't say anything.

It indeed wasn't her place, nor was it Luke's, to tell Jimena what or what not to do with her future.
