"Stop! Stop!" Amanda kept screaming, struggling to stop the two men packing her things off the table inside her office and putting them into a carton.She stood beside her desk, watching helplessly as her belongings disappeared into the boxes.The men continued gathering her files, notebooks, framed certificates, and personal belongings without answering her.Amanda moved toward the desk, reaching for one of the files before another man placed it inside.Her heels scraped against the floor as she followed them around the office." I was recommended by Alex Briggs!" She screamed as if to speak sense into them. "You can't just kick me out! I'm an important figure in this company!"The men continued working without looking at her, their movements remaining steady.Amanda's breathing became heavier as another stack of documents disappeared into the carton.She grabbed the edge of the desk, staring at everything happening around her in disbelief.One of the men closed the first carton and

Petra dropped into her chair with new happiness, her shoulders relaxing after everything finally changed.She placed her handbag beside the desk and stared around her office quietly.The room suddenly looked different, almost brighter, although nothing around her had actually changed.Greenleaf was gone, and Petra finally had space to pursue the position for now.She released a slow breath and leaned backward, allowing herself one quiet moment today.Her fingers intertwined tightly before her chest, resembling someone preparing for prayer for now.She closed her eyes, lifted her chin slightly, and smiled with renewed determination today.Months of disappointment seemed distant now, replaced by one clear goal before her today.She had already survived marriage, betrayal, humiliation, and professional battles without surrendering completely today.Now another opportunity stood directly ahead, waiting for her to claim it for now.She opened her eyes slowly, her smile returning as confide

"I've got plans for this company, Maxwell." Oscar said with assurance as if he'd already set everything in place. "Everything's gonna be fine."Oscar remained behind his desk, his fingers resting lightly against its polished wooden surface.Maxwell stood quietly nearby, watching his boss with an expression filled with concern.The office remained unusually quiet while both men considered everything surrounding their current situation.Briggs Corporation had survived difficult periods before, but this challenge appeared considerably different.There was barely enough time remaining for Oscar to accomplish his ambitious target.Three months sounded simple when spoken aloud, but business rarely moved that quickly.Maxwell knew exactly how difficult doubling a company's market value could become.He had studied the company's recent figures and understood the risks involved.Yet Oscar stood there with remarkable confidence, apparently unbothered by those difficulties.His calmness made Max

Oscar released a breath, trying to keep his expression composed beside Petra's busy workstation."It'd be funny if he was actually smart and handsome, wouldn't he?" He said casually, his hands remaining tucked inside his pockets.Petra stared up at him for a moment, then suddenly jerked upright again."If I finish this task," she said, pointing down at the computer screen. "I'll get the director's position. Tomorrow. Here. Here. We'll visit these amusement parks for inspiration." She pointed at each of the places on the sketch."That's a lot of work for one day." Oscar said, keeping a polite, kind tone. "I don't want you stressing yourself out."Petra leaned closer toward the laptop, studying every mark across the screen with serious concentration.Several amusement parks appeared across the screen, each marked with different colored locations.She moved one drawing beside another, comparing their layouts while making small notes inside her diary.Oscar watched quietly as Petra contin

"Every adult has their vulnerabilities." Oscar explained, turning from Petra to stare at earlier couple's picture in his hand. "Maybe this amusement park could be that utopia."Petra stared at Oscar quietly, her fingers resting against the edge of her glass. His words remained with her, slowly connecting several ideas she had been struggling to organize. The amusement park suddenly seemed different to her, less about machines, rides, and attractions, and more about emotions.She looked down at her scattered notes, then back at him again with sudden excitement. The image of the couple from earlier remained fresh in her memory, especially the happiness written across their faces.Petra thought for some seconds, staring at him. "I've got an idea." She finally said, excited. Suddenly, she pulled closer and kissed him, her hands holding his both cheek.Oscar's eyes widened briefly before his expression softened, his hands settling gently around her waist. Petra pulled away only slightly
