What Larissa said was completely true. If Larissa and Jefferson had married, what would she have done? She was sure Jefferson would have abandoned her or even relegated her to her position as gardener at his family's home. While she had initially wanted to be a gardener, for some reason, she had changed her mind. Office work was actually more enjoyable than manual labor at home.
If she wanted to keep her position at the office, she would have to accept Flint's previous proposal. Flint certainly wouldn't allow her to work too hard. On the other hand, she would also have to resign to avoid being accused of cheating on Jefferson with another woman.
Speaking of goals, her life has always depended on Jefferson. If she had married Flint, would things have changed for the better?
All she could do now was smile warmly at Larissa. Thanks to Larissa, she now knew what answer she would give Flint.
"Thank you for your advice, Larissa."
