Chapter 26: Kind Gesture
A month later.
It had been a month since Alex encouraged Emma to follow her dreams and get back to designing.
Thanks to his constant support, Emma was slowly but surely regaining her confidence and sense of self-worth.
Although still private, her designs were as beautiful and elegant as she had claimed. Though she hadn't shared them with the public yet, Alex had been more than eager to show them off, and his praise kept Emma motivated.
She knew that without Alex's encouragement, she might still be struggling to move forward. He had been a steady force in her life, and Emma couldn't help but feel grateful.
As Emma stood in her room and admired some of the latest designs she had worked on, the thought of Alex and everything he had done to help her filled her with warmth.
She smiled as she thought, "I want to do something nice for him today."
Thinking that, she decided to prepare lunch for Alex and surprise him at his office. She knew he worked long hours, so taking lunch to him was her way of showing appreciation for all that he had done.
As she showered and got ready, she carefully selected a white jumpsuit with a gold belt, blue closed-toe heels, and a matching purse. The jewelry Alex had picked out for her on their last shopping trip added the final touch: a gold chain and teardrop earrings.
Emma headed downstairs after doing a light makeup, spraying a little perfume, and making sure the food was packed neatly in a lunchbox. Her heart was lighter than it had been in weeks. She could feel the change in herself, the confidence she'd started to regain.
Alex's driver greeted her and drove her to Ling Corp.
