I've realized I should never again say, "What more could possibly happen to me?" You know how sometimes, the moment you think nothing worse can come along, life surprises you with something even tougher? That's exactly the kind of situation I'm talking about.
With the workload I've been under—and after my ex-boyfriend cheated on me—I swore off love entirely. Guess what happened next? Yes, I saw him… Of course, I was at work when it happened. In our office, everyone has their own personal space, but because my department is finance, I have a long desk designed for two. I had always been alone—until now. There's a handsome new face beside me. But honestly, his looks don't matter; what's important is that he listens to me, since I'm the head of the department.
I truly love my company. I wish I could show it to you, because you would fall in love with it too. The company has done everything possible to support employee productivity—recreation areas, social spaces, massage chairs, you name it. There are even many innovations tailored especially for women.
Right now, my only concern is sharing my office with a stranger. I haven't always had the freedom to do whatever I wanted in life—until this job. For the first time, I worked in a private space entirely my own, decorated to my taste. And I was happy. But now, I have to share it with a brand-new colleague.
I know some of you might be thinking, "Isn't this an insult to your hard work? How can you stay so calm?" Let me explain—large companies' financial operations are incredibly complex, and for me, having another colleague in the department is actually a relief. My workload will ease, my risk factor will drop, and I won't have to stay for overtime anymore. So yes, I'm happy about it.
Tomorrow will be our first full day working together. Today, the boss only went over the necessary procedures with him, so I didn't really get the chance to know him yet.
It's late Monday night heading into Tuesday morning, and the weather is graced with the sweetest breeze. The soft glow of a scented candle, starry LED lights, and the sound of the wind—such a perfect ambiance. I love meeting with you in moments like this. I describe it in such detail because I want you to feel like you're right here with me.
It's been such a long day, and I'm already excited for tomorrow. I know the moment I close my eyes, I'll fall asleep instantly from the weight of the day. And that's exactly what happened—I drifted into sleep within seconds.
