Office Ladies (2): Gossip Is Golden

楼主 (文学城)

 

In the heart of Midtown Manhattan, a bustling office was a hive of activity, filled with the hum of computers, the clatter of keyboards, and the low murmur of conversation. Among the sea of suits and ties, a young woman named Ada stood out. With her infectious smile and quick wit, she was the office's resident oracle, her words carrying the weight of prophecy.

 

 

Ada had a knack for knowing things before anyone else. She could predict the outcomes of meetings, catch the latest grapevine tidbits, and even gauge the corporate mood with uncanny accuracy. Her colleagues were both amused and intimidated by her ability to see through the fog of office politics.

One day, a young rising star named Dan joined the office. Skeptical by nature, he was unwilling to believe in Ada's prophetic abilities. He challenged her to predict the outcome of the upcoming quarterly review conference. Like a pundit, Ada forecasted that the CEO would announce a major promotion in the marketing department. Intrigued, Dan thought otherwise.

To Dan's surprise, the CEO confirmed Ada's prediction. The marketing department was ecstatic, while Dan was left speechless—more intrigued than ever.

Meanwhile, Ada, the grapevine lady, became the subject of office-wide rumors. Some alleged she was ''the CEO's girl,'' but that didn't stop her colleagues from seeking her wisdom on all things corporate. She felt as if she were standing atop a Manhattan skyscraper—there was no easy way down. So, she clung to the dizzying heights.

Dan, recognizing the danger Ada was in, advised her that there was a way out if she dared to explore new opportunities and move forward. And move forward she did. She began writing for a Wall Street business media outlet, sharing her insights into Corporate America.

"When you find the sky is the limit, don't fall victim to acrophobia," she advised her growing audience. Still technically an office lady, she enjoyed an income stream even her boss envied.

The latest gossip? Ada and Dan have been dating.

Happy Sunday evening! Is silence still golden?
蓝灵
Silence is golden, but sometimes, it's just an excuse for
蓝灵
running out of ideas.
r
renqiulan
That's hilarious! Is Ada some kind of corporate psychic?
蓝灵
Maybe, or just really good at reading people.
r
renqiulan
Sounds like Dan got more than just career advice.
蓝灵
Yep, he got a promotion in his personal life too.
r
renqiulan
So, Ada predicted her own promotion from office lady to
r
renqiulan
Wall Street writer?
蓝灵
She probably saw it coming when Dan appeared on her radar.
r
renqiulan
Office gossip and a Wall Street column? Ada is everywhere.
暖冬cool夏
Interesting ending! Did Ada predict that too? :))
蓝灵
When you're that sharp, the world becomes your office.
暖冬cool夏
Say one more time how I love your writing! Read every word!
蓝灵
Hi, 暖冬cool 夏!Nope, she’s about as good at predicting the
蓝灵
future as a squirrel trying to forecast a hurricane of nuts.
蓝灵
Your enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you for your support:)
r
renqiulan
Do we think Ada's still using her "prophecies" on Dan now?
蓝灵
Hahaha! That's a killer question.
r
renqiulan
Ada must be making some serious money now, huh?
蓝灵
More than her old boss, that's for sure.
r
renqiulan
From office rumors to dating rumors—Ada can’t escape.
蓝灵
When you’re at the top, the rumors never stop.
r
renqiulan
Hey, "top" and "stop" rhyme!
蓝灵
Yes, they rhyme, accidentally.
r
renqiulan
Dan didn’t believe in her, but look where he ended up.
蓝灵
Sometimes you’ve got to believe in a little magic.
r
renqiulan
If I predict sth will happen, can I get a promotion too?
蓝灵
Only if you’ve got Ada's gift.
r
renqiulan
So, what's Ada's next big prediction?
蓝灵
Probably that you’ll be reading her column tomorrow.
r
renqiulan
Does Ada ever get anything wrong?
蓝灵
Only when she predicts she'll have a quiet day.
r
renqiulan
Imagine being known as "the CEO's girl." That’s tough.
蓝灵
Yeah, but Ada knows how to turn gossip into gold.
r
renqiulan
Dan should’ve known better than to doubt the office oracle.
蓝灵
Guess he learned the hard way.
r
renqiulan
If Ada’s that good, why stop at Wall Street?
蓝灵
Maybe she’s aiming for the stars next.
r
renqiulan
The whole ''standing on a skyscraper'' vibe—kind of cool!
蓝灵
Yep, and it’s all about keeping your balance, figuratively.
r
renqiulan
Now that she’s dating Dan,I bet she’s predicting his moves 2
蓝灵
Or maybe he's learning to predict hers.
r
renqiulan
From office prophet to Wall Street columnist—impressive jump
蓝灵
She’s always been "jumping" ahead of the curve.
r
renqiulan
I don't believe in 100% perfection.
蓝灵
I don't blame you.
r
renqiulan
So, Ada went from gossip queen to corporate queen?
蓝灵
She just upgraded her throne.
r
renqiulan
What’s the latest gossip Ada's predicting about herself?
蓝灵
That she’s too busy writing to care.
