Office Ladies (2): Gossip Is Golden

 

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, office ladies and everyone!

Happy Sunday evening! Is silence still golden?

Silence is golden, but sometimes, it's just an excuse for

running out of ideas.

That's hilarious! Is Ada some kind of corporate psychic?

Maybe, or just really good at reading people.

Sounds like Dan got more than just career advice.

Yep, he got a promotion in his personal life too.

So, Ada predicted her own promotion from office lady to

Wall Street writer?

She probably saw it coming when Dan appeared on her radar.

Office gossip and a Wall Street column? Ada is everywhere.

Interesting ending! Did Ada predict that too? :))

When you're that sharp, the world becomes your office.

Say one more time how I love your writing! Read every word!

Hi, 暖冬cool 夏！Nope, she’s about as good at predicting the

future as a squirrel trying to forecast a hurricane of nuts.

Your enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you for your support:)

Do we think Ada's still using her "prophecies" on Dan now?

Hahaha! That's a killer question.

Ada must be making some serious money now, huh?

More than her old boss, that's for sure.

From office rumors to dating rumors—Ada can’t escape.

When you’re at the top, the rumors never stop.

Hey, "top" and "stop" rhyme!

Yes, they rhyme, accidentally.

Dan didn’t believe in her, but look where he ended up.

Sometimes you’ve got to believe in a little magic.

If I predict sth will happen, can I get a promotion too?

Only if you’ve got Ada's gift.

So, what's Ada's next big prediction?

Probably that you’ll be reading her column tomorrow.

Does Ada ever get anything wrong?

Only when she predicts she'll have a quiet day.

Imagine being known as "the CEO's girl." That’s tough.

Yeah, but Ada knows how to turn gossip into gold.

Dan should’ve known better than to doubt the office oracle.

Guess he learned the hard way.

If Ada’s that good, why stop at Wall Street?

Maybe she’s aiming for the stars next.

The whole ''standing on a skyscraper'' vibe—kind of cool!

Yep, and it’s all about keeping your balance, figuratively.

Now that she’s dating Dan,I bet she’s predicting his moves 2

Or maybe he's learning to predict hers.

From office prophet to Wall Street columnist—impressive jump

She’s always been "jumping" ahead of the curve.

I don't believe in 100% perfection.

I don't blame you.

So, Ada went from gossip queen to corporate queen?

She just upgraded her throne.

What’s the latest gossip Ada's predicting about herself?

That she’s too busy writing to care.
