I Want a Divorce (Abigail and Sean) novel Chapter 885

Irene felt a twinge of discomfort as praise was heaped upon her.

In truth, she didn't quite see herself as capable. If it weren't for pulling strings, she would never have landed a job at L.Moon.

"You seem troubled. Is the pressure at L.Moon getting to you?" the girl asked in a gentle tone.

Irene shook her head. "There are a bunch of talented designers there. I feel like I'm just a drop in the ocean compared to them. Honestly, I consider myself lucky to have gotten in. Otherwise, I'd be feeling pretty low."

The girl regarded her earnestly for a moment before speaking again. "Simply making it through the door is a stroke of luck. Why do you sell yourself short?"

Irene was taken aback by the girl's words.

"All my friends say that getting into L.Moon is a springboard for growth. Those on the inside often fail to appreciate their luck, while outsiders envy them endlessly. You should seize this chance and soak up as much knowledge as you can in such a prestigious place. There's a wealth of experience there that other companies can't offer," she said soothingly.

Her words ignited something within Irene.

Indeed, Abigail was presenting her with a golden opportunity, and Irene had been drowning in self-doubt that she neglected considering the value of this chance.

"Thank you." At that moment, she discovered her purpose.

The girl flashed a gentle smile. "You don't have to thank me. Just keep pushing forward, alright?"

"You too, and good luck with your exams too!" Irene suddenly felt a surge of motivation.

As the afternoon drew to a close and the library prepared to shut its doors, she bid a reluctant farewell to the girl.

She felt thankful to Abigail for treating her to donuts. When they were both working hard and feeling hungry, she shared half of the donuts with her.

Even though they only met briefly, the mutual encouragement was enough

When she was about to board the bus back, a message from Abigail popped up on her phone.

'Want to join us? It's my friend's birthday today, and everyone's gathering.'

Irene remembered Abigail mentioning her friend's struggles with severe depression. After replying affirmatively, she set out to find a suitable gift upon getting off the bus.

After browsing for a while, she bought a beautifully woven Emperor's Coin Bracelet. With the gift in hand, she made her way to the club address provided by Abigail.

...

Before Abigail could even begin singing, Kevin approached. "Where's everyone?"

"Almost here. Why don't you head downstairs and wait?" she replied, feeling a twinge of irritation.

Can't he give me a moment to relax?

Kevin flashed an "OK" sign. "Thanks, Abigail."

"Just go." Abigail nudged him away.

The private room buzzed with activity. Shaunee was either dragging someone into a duet or another. Even Luna got roped into singing a song.

After about ten minutes of goofing around, Kevin entered with Irene.
