I tried to smile while looking at myself in the mirror and my smile looked really weird. I tried to smile naturally and did a small rehearsal, just how Cyrus taught me.“I am Natalie Knight. Your.. n..new manager” I tried to say it confidently but failed miserably.“Why can’t you do this easy thing?” I asked myself in frustration.“Because you are thinking too much” I heard Cyrus talking from behind me and turned around to look at him.He walked towards me and said, “I told you to just relax.
