While negotiating the terms of a project, a client pressured me into downing a large glass of liquor. While I was washing my face in the restroom, I saw my younger sister’s latest Instagram post.
[Low salary? What of it? My parents will always support me!]
Above the caption was a photo of a property deed with her name on it, along with a message from our parents.
[Mom and Dad will always be your safety net!]
It was in a newly developed residential complex.
It was also the very neighborhood I had been desperately saving up for a downpayment to buy a home in.
At that moment, a torrent of complex emotions washed over me.
I splashed my face with water. After clearing my head, I sent a message to my manager, Mr. Jenkins.
[I’m willing to take on that overseas project you mentioned.]
