Overview
The small apartment smelled faintly of instant noodles and vanilla candles. Amelia Hart sank onto the couch with a long sigh, thinking back to how it all began.
"Honestly, Succy, I thought I'd never find a decent job," she muttered, staring at the sunlight streaming through the window.
Succy appeared with a glass of juice, smiling. "And yet, here you are. Secretary at Vanguard Global Enterprises, surviving the chaos, and still keeping that fire in you."
Amelia laughed softly, shaking her head. "Do you remember the first time I walked into that interview? I was terrified, and yet somehow, I made it. Who knew my stubbornness would actually pay off?"
Succy grinned. "Your stubbornness, wit, and refusal to compromise—that's exactly why you got the job. And hey, you also survived Mr. I-thought-I-was-smooth at the hotel. That was priceless."
Amelia rolled her eyes, remembering. "Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. But I can laugh about it now… sort of."
"And you know," Succy added, "this is just the beginning. You've got work to do, bills to pay, dreams to chase, and maybe even a little love to find along the way."
Amelia smiled, feeling a mixture of relief and excitement. She had faced the struggle, held onto her dignity, and come out stronger. Tomorrow was another day, another challenge—but now, she was ready.
Her eyes met Succy's. "Thanks, sis. For everything."
Succy winked. "Always. Now, grab that popcorn and juice—we've earned it."
And as Amelia settled into the couch, she realized that life, no matter how messy, had a way of rewarding those who refused to give up.
