Layla’s lips curled into a faint smile, a glimmer of warmth that brightened her otherwise serene expression. “I’m doing great—better than I’ve ever been,” she said, her voice steady and filled with a quiet confidence. “Every morning, I wake up to the sunlight streaming through my window, work hard, and focus on bettering myself. When I think back to the girl who once stood on that rooftop, teetering on the edge of despair, ready to give up on everything, it feels like a distant memory; so foolish, so utterly ridiculous.”

As Layla spoke, Lillian couldn’t help but admire the grace and calm assurance that radiated from her friend. It filled her with a sense of relief and pride that was hard to contain. “That’s good to hear,” Lillian replied, her voice warm yet professional. “In two months, I’m planning to place you at the Kingston headquarters. Do you think you’re ready to face that place?”

For a fleeting moment, Layla froze, her heart racing at the thought of returning to that daunting building. But then, with a determined nod, she replied, “Yeah, I can do it.”

The affirmation was directed at Lillian, yet deep within, it resonated as a promise to herself. She was truly ready now, ready to confront the very place that had once dragged her into the depths of despair.

Lillian observed the unwavering resolve in Layla’s eyes and nodded approvingly. “Alright then. Prepare yourself; in two months, you’ll be stepping into the Kingston headquarters.”

“Okay,” Layla responded, a spark of anticipation igniting within her.

Just as their conversation came to a close, Lillian’s phone buzzed insistently, breaking the moment. She glanced at the screen, her brow furrowing slightly before she answered.

“Mr. Jasper, what’s wrong?” she asked, her tone turning serious.

On the other end, Jasper’s voice was laced with uncertainty, almost as if he were treading carefully on fragile ground. “Lillian, there’s a gentleman here by the name of Mr. Henry… he insists he wants to see you.”

At the mere mention of that name, the atmosphere in the room shifted dramatically. Lillian felt a chill run down her spine, and Karina, ever perceptive, noticed the change immediately. With a subtle glance towards Layla, the two of them quietly slipped out of the office, leaving Jasper and the impending confrontation behind.

“Not seeing him,” Lillian declared, her voice firm, though inside she felt a whirlwind of emotions.

She had no idea how much inner strength it took to force those two words out, her voice edged with restrained anger.

Jasper, glancing nervously at the man seated on the office sofa, tried to reason with her. “But, Lillian, Mr. Henry says it’s important. He claims he really needs to speak with you.”

A bitter laugh escaped her lips, sharp and cold. “Mr. Jasper, I fail to see how a complete stranger could have anything of significance to share with me. I’m sorry, but I have other matters to attend to.”
