"As the days passed and life gradually returned to its routine, Lila's thoughts remained fixated on her mother's transgression. The weight of her secret bore down on her, but without concrete evidence, she couldn't bring herself to involve the authorities. A burning determination ignited within her - to uncover the truth, gather proof, and understand the motive behind her father's tragic demise.
As dawn broke, she stood weary and fragile, the weight of her prolonged job search bearing down on her. Determined to forge her own path, she had been tirelessly seeking employment for weeks, driven by a fierce desire for autonomy and self-sufficiency. She stood lost in thought, her mind wrestling with the same question that had haunted her for weeks: where to turn next in her quest for a job.She wondered where she'd focus her job search today.
"Desperation clawed at her as she thought, 'God, I need this job.' She'd submitted her CV everywhere, but the silence was deafening. 'Where else can I go?' she wondered, her frustration simmering. Maybe Maya could help; she dialed her number, but the calls went unanswered. Frustrated, she tossed her phone aside and stormed into the bathroom. After a refreshing bath, she dressed in her best attire, determined to face another day of job hunting. Her neat outfit was a testament to her professionalism, despite the absence of makeup. As she descended the stairs, her gaze drifted to the dining table, where her mother and sister sat waiting. Without a word, she walked past them, her footsteps echoing her resolve."

" Sure I will love to sis, " she smiles and come out of the car and Wave Lila goodbye, she smiles back and drove away.
After a long drive she arrived at her father's company.
As she stepped into the company a chorus of greetings echoed through the hallway, a testament to her respected position within the company. With a quiet confidence, she made her way through the familiar terrain, exchanging nods and smiles along the way. Upon reaching the sanctuary of her office, she settled into the plush leather chair, her gaze wandering over the familiar landscape of her workspace.
With a sense of purpose, she reached for the phone and dialed her father's trusted assistant, Uncle Mark. "Good morning, Uncle Mark," she said, her voice crisp and professional. "I'd like to convene a meeting with the entire company. Would you please inform everyone to assemble in the meeting room?"
The line went dead, and she leaned back in her chair, anticipating the swift execution of her request. True to form, the minutes ticked by, and soon the meeting room was abuzz with the murmurs of her colleagues, all gathered in anticipation of her arrival.
The atmosphere was electric, charged with a mix of curiosity and expectation. As she prepared to join them, the silence was punctuated only by the soft hum of the air conditioning and the occasional rustle of papers or whispered conversation. The stage was set, and she was ready to take center stage..
