Natalie’s POVTwo days later…I looked at myself in the mirror before letting out a shaky breath.My palms are clammy while my heart is going haywire in my chest. And I realised that I am visibly nervous at this moment.I patted myself on my chest to calm my erratically beating heart and whispered to myself, “Relax Nat. You can do it”. 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.
