I kept my voice calm and responded, "I'll quit, sir," despite the fact that knots were beginning to form in my stomach. Before handing in my resignation letter, I took a moment to compose myself and felt an overwhelming sense of relief wash over me. Mr. Crimson raised his eyebrows as he read the letter's contents and stared at me in disbelief. He frowned, and his usually friendly gaze did the same. He opened his mouth to reply but swiftly closed it again. He stumbled, looking up at me with a combination of confusion and uncertainty in his eyes. "I...I don't understand," he said. "Do you find anything that is upsetting you lately? Simply explain the situation to me, and I will take appropriate action." he added. I shook my head, my determination unwavering. My tone became a little more kind as I addressed Mr. Crimson and said, "I am grateful for everything you and the company have done for me." I paused. "However, I have come to a decision that it is time for me to pursue new opportu

I couldn't help but experience a sense of liberation as I sat at the bar and enjoyed the lively ambience. The neon lights gave the room a pleasant and inviting glow, and the air was filled with the sound of music and laughter.People of all ages packed the dance floor and danced to the beat of the music. While others were bouncing and twirling madly, some were swaying seductively. The atmosphere in the room was lively and everyone looked to be having a good time.I loved the sharp flavor as it pricked my taste buds as I sipped on my margarita once again. The drink's ice offered a pleasant relief from the dance floor's heat. I spotted a variety of people as I looked around the room, some in groups, others in pairs, and some flying alone.I continue to search the crowd, my eyes searching for my best friend Farrah. Today is her birthday and she had promised to meet me here tonight, and I was eager to catch up with her and our college friends. I looked around, weaving my way through the d

I approach the entrance of a massive building that radiates power and success, taking slow steps towards its grandeur. Today is my interview schedule about the company that Vonn told me about. I decided to wear a sleek, charcoal gray suit paired with a crisp, white button-down shirt. I meticulously adjusted my tie, ensuring it was perfectly centered and knotting it with precision. Inside, the building's interior is tastefully designed and screams elegance. It has a clean and minimalist aesthetic, with carefully chosen details that add to its sophistication. Expensive paintings adorn the walls, complementing the refined atmosphere. Indoor plants are strategically placed, bringing life and a touch of nature to the surroundings. The lounge area is particularly inviting, featuring plush seating and stylish decorations. It is a space where visitors can relax and reflect, surrounded by carefully selected furnishings that combine both aesthetics and comfort. As I explore further, I notic

"Welcome to NOVA, Zara," Lily Daniels greeted, the head of the marketing department, as she warmly introduced herself. She took me on a tour of the company, ensuring I familiarized myself with the building's facilities. Our team's floor was well-stocked, equipped with essential supplies and convenient workstations to support our tasks.Ms. Daniels proudly showcased the printing room, which housed large printers and computers. The shelves were meticulously organized, holding neatly stacked ink cartridges and paper supplies. The part that I'm most excited about, there was a cozy coffee corner in the pantry, where everyone could brew their caffeines and indulge in snacks. The floor also featured vending machines offering a variety of food options.Continuing the tour, Ms. Daniels led me to a spacious office area, adorned with clean lines and modern aesthetics. Within this space, there were ten generously-sized cubicles. The office boasted a professional and productive atmosphere, accentu

"Hey, everything's going to be alright." I consoled Farrah as she cried into my arms. After hearing the news, my heart sank, and I immediately rushed to her condo, knowing she needed someone to lean on. The room was filled with scattered papers and knocked over appliances. It was chaos. I found her in the corner of her room with a pregnancy test on her hand. I gently held her, allowing her tears to flow freely. In that moment, the weight of her sorrow transferred onto me, and I willingly carried it, determined to lighten her burden. If I only could. We stayed like that for an hour. I didn’t say anything. I let her cry until she couldn’t. It hurts me seeing her like this. She’s always been strong. The last time I saw her cry was when her mom left them. We were just middle schoolers at that time. “Zara, I’m not ready,” that was the first thing she told me. Farrah is old enough to have a child. We’re both in our late 20’s that’s why I know there’s something deeper why she is no
