A: Do you have a glittering career? Is it all you even dreamed it would be? Well-paid, nice office, company car?
B: ................................

The aboving sentence contains a "even" in it which make me puzzled over until now

I can't understand the second sentence.
  

Top answer

I think that's a typo. "Even" should be "ever". The second sentence, which is not complete, is a question as to whether or not the hypothetical career mentioned in the first sentence comes with the perks listed.
