Angela's POVThe ballroom is bathed in a soft, golden glow, chandeliers casting warm light over the crowd of elegantly dressed guests. The sound of clinking glasses and polite laughter fills the air as I move through the sea of people, offering practiced smiles and handshakes.Tonight is a big night. It’s my father’s first public appearance since his recovery, and all eyes are on him. After everything our company has endured recently, his presence is a signal to the world that we’re still standing.

Every detail tonight matters, from my confident smile to the grace in my movements.

Victoria, my supervisor, is no less demanding, but I’ve come to appreciate her relentless push for excellence. She’s fair, and when she says good job, I know it means something.My colleagues have been welcoming too. Susan often shares tips on drafting airtight contracts, and James, though intimidating at first, has warmed up enough to crack the occasional joke during late-night meetings.I’ve even found myself laughing more—something I hadn’t realized I missed.Work keeps me busy, and I thrive in the busyness.
