"You have a point. Then get ready for a promotion. I heard our department manager is being transferred. With your qualifications, you'll ace the department manager role."

His words reignited my passion.

Isabel was waiting outside, holding a delicate insulated lunch box.

She strode towards me. I glanced at her indifferently and walked towards the roadside.
