"....." Hearing those words from Rihane, standing several steps away, the Director, Professor, and the CEOs just glanced in her direction, blinking, trying to understand if they had heard it right.
After all, the issue isn't that she was offered ten times her salary, which would definitely mean nothing compared to what the CEO or the Director himself earns. The problem was that the man she had just rejected was none other than Marquess Croceaus.
For a rich person or someone influential like him, this is not just a matter of money, since they have enough of it, but pride. In most cases, rich people take small things to heart concerning their ego. In such circumstances, without even lifting a finger, they could rewrite one's fate.
This was also the case for Rihane, which everyone expected except Aecilia, who would now face a hellish life after rejecting the offer.
