As I left the office one evening, my mind consumed by thoughts of Vincent's relentless bullying, I barely noticed the young woman rushing towards me until she stumbled and nearly fell right into my path. Instinctively, I reached out to steady her, my hand closing around hers in a firm grip as I prevented her from tumbling to the ground. Our eyes met in that moment, and for a brief instant, time seemed to stand still as we gazed at each other in silent recognition. "Thank you," she said, her voice soft and melodious as she regained her balance. "I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been there to catch me." I smiled, my heart fluttering at the warmth in her eyes. "It was nothing," I replied, my voice tinged with bashfulness. "Just glad I could help." She returned my smile, her lips curving into a gentle curve that sent a shiver down my spine. "I'm Sarah, by the way," she said, extending her hand in a friendly gesture. "Tom," I replied, taking her hand in mine and giving it a gentle squeeze. "Nice to meet you, Sarah." We stood there for a moment longer, locked in each other's gaze, before the spell was broken by the sound of approaching footsteps. With a reluctant sigh, Sarah withdrew her hand and took a step back, her eyes lingering on mine for a moment longer before she turned to leave. "Take care, Tom," she said, her voice soft with sincerity. "And thanks again." I watched her leave, my heart racing with a newfound sense of hope and excitement. There was something about Sarah, something indescribable yet undeniable, that drew me to her like a moth to a flame. And as I made my way home that evening, her face haunted my thoughts, filling me with a sense of longing that I couldn't quite shake. Maybe, just maybe, she was the light at the end of the tunnel that I had been searching for all along. But little did I know, our chance encounter was just the beginning of a journey that would lead me down a path I could never have imagined. And as I drifted off to sleep that night, her image burned brightly in my mind, a beacon of hope in the darkness of my despair. As I went about my usual tasks in the office the following day, I couldn't shake the memory of my encounter with Sarah from my mind. Her presence lingered like a sweet melody, filling me with a sense of joy and anticipation that I hadn't felt in a long time. But as the day wore on, my thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a summons from the CEO. With a sense of trepidation, I made my way to the boardroom, my heart pounding in my chest as I wondered what could possibly be so urgent.As I entered the room, I was surprised to see Vincent already seated at the table, his usual smug expression replaced by a look of nervous anticipation. I ignored him, taking my seat next to him and trying to focus on the task at hand.But then, to my utter astonishment, the CEO began to speak, his words sending shockwaves through the room. "Ladies and gentlemen," he said, his voice ringing with excitement. "I'm pleased to announce that we have been given the opportunity of a lifetime."He paused for dramatic effect, and my heart skipped a beat as he continued. "A daughter of a well-known billionaire has expressed interest in awarding our company a lucrative contract. And not just any contract, but one worth millions of dollars." My mind reeled at the magnitude of the news, and I could feel a surge of adrenaline coursing through my veins. But then, as the CEO gestured towards the door, my breath caught in my throat as I caught sight of the familiar figure standing in the doorway. It was Sarah. My heart leaped with joy at the sight of her, my earlier fears and doubts melting away in an instant. She smiled warmly as she entered the room, her eyes locking with mine in a silent exchange that spoke volumes. "Sarah!" the CEO exclaimed, rising from his seat to greet her. "What a pleasant surprise. I had no idea you were acquainted with our company." Sarah returned his smile, her gaze never leaving mine. "Indeed I am," she said, her voice filled with quiet confidence. "And I'm here to ensure that this project is a success." As she took her seat at the head of the table, the CEO turned to me with a knowing smile. "Tom, I'd like you to meet Sarah," he said, gesturing towards her with a sense of pride. "She's the one who's going to be overseeing this project, and she's asked specifically for you to be on her team." I felt a surge of disbelief wash over me at his words, my mind struggling to comprehend the enormity of what was happening. Sarah wanted me to be a part of her team? It was almost too good to be true. I could feel tears prickling at the corners of my eyes as I struggled to find the words to express my gratitude. "Thank you, Sarah," I managed to choke out, my voice thick with emotion. "I won't let you down." She smiled, her eyes sparkling with pride. "I know you won't," she said, her voice filled with confidence. "Now let's get to work. We have a project to execute, and I have every faith that together, we'll make it a success." As my heart swelled with a sense of purpose and determination unlike anything I had ever felt before. With Sarah by my side, I knew that anything was possible. As we set out to conquer the challenges that lay ahead, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement for the future, knowing that whatever came our way, we would face it together.

This isn’t about you.” He laughed,

As I approached the front door, I could already hear the familiar sounds of raised voices and bitter arguments emanating from within, signaling another evening filled with tension and strife.Taking a deep breath, I pushed open the door and stepped inside, bracing myself for the onslaught of criticism and condemnation that awaited me. My parents were seated at the kitchen table, their expressions pinched and disapproving as they eyed me with thinly veiled disdain."Look who decided to grace us with his presence," my father sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "I hope you're not expecting a warm welcome, because you certainly won't find one here."I clenched my jaw tightly, biting back the retort that threatened to spill from my lips. I had grown accustomed to their bar

Pushing open the door, I stepped inside, steeling myself for the onslaught of hostility that I knew would greet me. My parents were seated at the kitchen table, their expressions grim as they regarded me with cold indifference."Well, look who decided to slink back home," my own father sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "Couldn't make it out there on your own, could you?"I bit back the retort that threatened to spill from my lips, knowing that it would only serve to provoke him further.
