24 parts Complete MatureAurelia Vidal took a job as a secretary for the head office of a company known across the country for lavish dinner parties, wine bottles worth thousands, and cuisine tailored to individual wishes, hoping to achieve the same for her future. For years, Aurelia took pride in her job, living her life as aspirant as possible, trying to create a small glimmer of joy in her coworkers' daily lives. Her almost Naive outlook on life has done her more than a few favors, which in her opinion, outweighed the negatives. But her naivety and optimism have been slowly diminishing under the iron-clad hammer her boss, Ford Madison, wields, cowering the goodness in her heart, with the intent to break her down until she becomes yet another corporate slave, wasting her days on a 9 to 5 she hates; well, that's from her point of view. As she feels she will hit her limit, a dark--much older-- stranger approaches her, offering her a gentle kindness she had only been offered once upon a dream, ready to pull her from her dark wasteland of a mindset and show her what she is truly worth.
