Genius in the Village: I Walk Away and Win
When my husband, Jared Hunt, receives a promotion that requires him to travel to Belmont, a big city, he submits a list of family members who will be traveling with him to the organization.
He has submitted two names; the first one being our son, Jackson Hunt, and the second being a knowledgeable young woman, Sabrina Hayes. She's a friend who has traveled to the village with him in the first place.
Life in the village is difficult. There's no way Jared will let Jackson suffer in the village.
As for Sabrina, he has already given her his word to take her back to Belmont a long time ago.
But when it comes to me, his actual wife, he thinks I should be gracious and offer the opportunity of traveling to Belmont to others.
"It's completely useless for a country bumpkin like you to go to Belmont. Sabrina is very knowledgeable, so she's a more suitable candidate. Jackson and I will come back for you when an opportunity comes up in the future."
As I listen to Jared's perfunctory explanation, I can feel my heart breaking.
But what Jared doesn't know is that I'm not a country bumpkin despite having lived in the village longer than him.
The truth is, I'm the talent that Belmont wants the most. The promotion that Jared cherishes the most is actually something that I don't want.
