I hadn't realized one thing until now that excessive dreaming could blur the lines between fantasy and reality.
I moved into the hotel while looking for a suitable house.
Meanwhile, I continued my routine work.
I was just a mere employee in the company.
Everett, as the president, would not notice my existence at all.
But I didn't expect that the manager would bring explosive news in the afternoon.
The deputy manager position that I was sure to get was snatched away.
"This is our new deputy manager, Sydney Elliott. Let's work well together."
The manager's announcement caused a tense silence in the office.
Everyone's eyes fell on me, filled with curiosity, suspicion, and scrutiny.
I looked at Sydney coldly.
Sydney looked at me with a provocative look.
It was as if she believed she could attain anything she desired, be it Everett's favor or professional success.
At this time, Everett came over with his special assistant, and swept everyone in the office indifferently.
He treated me as a stranger.
His silence made his position clear.
Seeing this, everyone applauded and welcomed Sydney.
