"Take a seat, Patricia.Having secured funding to complete this project, you have now become our company's hero! Thus, the board of directors has decided to promote you to vice manager! Congratulations! Keep up the great work!"

The president patted her on the shoulder before returning to his seat.

Surprised by this news, she studied his expression.

But seeing the profound admiration etched on the president's face, she knew he was not joking.  However, she would have preferred it if she hadn't been given such a position.

She would have opted to remain who she previously was, but after last night, could she honestly return to who she formerly was? Patricia was lost in thought as the president droned on, singing her praises.

All this meant was that the company valued her input and would reward her for her accomplishments.

Putting her in an esteemed position, they hoped she would use this opportunity to continue working diligently for the company.

Half an hour later, the president finally let her leave his office.

She couldn't remember exiting the CEO’s office or how she made her way back to her own.

She vaguely recalled returning to her office, putting her bag down, and stretching out on the big rotating chair behind her desk.

Too exhausted after that meeting, she closed her eyes and fell into deep thought about what had just ensued.

It was not until noon when a knock on the door brought her back to her senses.

"Come in!" she called out.

"Miss Sampson, are you going out for lunch, or shall I order takeout for you?" Lily inquired after opening the door and entering.

"Oh, is it noon already?"

After closing the file in her hand, she raised her wrist to look at her watch.

"Yes, it's almost twelve o'clock!"

Lily affirmed and warmly suggested, "There is a new western restaurant downstairs.I heard that the food there is delicious and inexpensive.How about trying their food?"

"Alright, I'll give them a try."

Patricia nodded, stood up, and walked out of her office.

Noticing that she was not being followed, she stopped, turned around, and looked at Lily.
