Mate's Love
The next day, I woke early to visit my mother.
She looked at me with a face radiating love.
"I heard about your speech last night," she smiled, "My daughter, you’re truly amazing."
"Thank you, Mom." I gripped her hand tightly.
I knew, no matter what, she would always stand by me, supporting and encouraging me. Back at the office, I overheard colleagues talking, learning that James's reputation had crashed after the banquet.
