Stephanie walked into the office. Today was the day for the announcement of who had been promoted to assistant manager. She was super excited because she had always wanted the position since she started working with the company 2 years ago.

She had put in absolutely everything and she worked harder than most of her colleagues.

She had worked as a personal shopper, Assistant, in the two years she had been there and this was finally her time to show her parents that she could be in the fashion business and still make it.

She didn't have to be a lawyer or doctor to be successful and she was determined to prove it to them.

She was always the odd one out of the family of geniuses. Her younger sister always topped her class and got a scholarship to study Medicine at one of the biggest universities in the country.

Stephanie had lived through her parents comparing her with her younger sister every day and now, she was used to it.

It was her time to finally make them proud and she had been looking forward to the day, forever. She spent the night in the office making sure everything was perfect.

She had always loved fashion since she was young. While her sister, Anna read all the books her parents bought for the holidays while she stayed up all night sewing dresses for her dolls and organizing for their fashion shows.

Her parents never missed an opportunity to make them love books and fall in love with their profession. Her dad was a renowned doctor and her mum was a top Lawyer. They got their books as gifts, from an early age while other kids got the latest iPhone and the latest games. They got medical books for kids.

     Steph was one of the youngest in the office. She was 23 years old and a lot of people didn't believe in her and thought she wouldn't even last the first two months. But she kept pushing and was always determined to prove them all wrong and put her best in all she did.

    She walked into the office, in one of her favourite outfits. She called it her lucky outfit. A black knee-length gown and silver heels. Her hair was in a tight bun and she had her glasses on. She was ready for a win today, so she was eager to get to the office.

    "Hey Stephanie, you look amazing today," Ella complemented, as she walked into the office.

     "Yeah, thank you," she said, with a smile.

"I see you are all dressed up for the announcement," she said and then Mike laughed "You know that position isn't yours right," he said and then walked away.

    "No one deserves it more than you do, trust me," Ella said. And then she regained her confidence once again. Mike had always had a thing against Steph since the first day She stepped into the office.

she had tried being friends with him on several occasions till she figured out and understood the phrase "Not everyone will like you or be friends with you."

     They were all called into the conference room a few minutes later and then they all sat as our boss Helene, stood in front of us.

     "So you all know the reason we are here. We want to pick the new assistant manager" she said and then stopped for a bit, as she looked around and then Steph just smiled. She had hope and she knew no one worked better than she did, in the last year.

She brought in new brand deals and partnerships and she was even employer of the year.

    "So, I have decided on someone competent, amazing and a hard worker" Steph smiled, as she said all those things.

    "So the New Assistant Manager will be Stephanie!!" She announced and Steph stood eagerly, from where she was sitting. "Yes!!" She screamed.

"Thank you, Thank you. I won't disappoint you." She said, facing Helene, who smiled. She could see Mark's anger and extremely red face from the side.
