Chapter 35: A Late-Night Ride
Sophia gathered her things, feeling the buzz of a job well done coursing through her.
The interview with Hades and Aurora had gone better than expected, and the entire crew had already left the studio.
Only a few lingering sounds of cleaning staff and late-night security remained in the quiet building.
As she headed toward the exit, her boss, Mr. Grant, approached with a rare smile tugging at his usually serious face.
"Sophia, you did good tonight," he said, his voice carrying the weight of approval. "If you keep this up, we might be looking at a salary increase."
Sophia felt a surge of happiness.
It was rare to hear praise from Mr. Grant, and a raise? That was even rarer.
"Thank you, Mr. Grant," she replied, trying to keep her excitement in check. "I'll keep giving my best."
"Good," he nodded. "Get some rest, you deserve it."
Sophia smiled to herself as she stepped outside into the cool night air, her heart lighter than it had been in weeks.
She was grateful, not just for the success of the interview but also for Hades and Aurora agreeing to participate.
