The sun peeked through the curtains, casting a warm glow across my room. I blinked sleepily at the clock on my bedside table, which seemed to mock me with its relentless ticking. I had a feeling today was going to be chaotic; my nerves danced like wild butterflies in my stomach. I had received an email just two days ago—an unexpected offer to join a new office as a personal assistant.

My previous job had ended rather abruptly, and with bills piling up and Jenevanae needing new clothes for the season, I had to seize this opportunity.
