In the bustling conference room, the air was tense, not from the usual bickering but because of an
unexpected announcement. Mr. Carson, the head of the firm, had gathered his team not for petty
squabbles but to declare a significant shift. “Enough with the small talk,” he declared, his gaze fixed. on
the group. “I have news. Emma has been outstanding lately, and I believe it’s time she takes the lead
on a project. Any objections to her promotion?”
Emma’s heart raced with anticipation. Mr. Carson had been considering her for a higher role, and it
seemed her hard work on the recent venture had paid off. In any ordinary company, such promotions
were straightforward. But here, in Carson Enterprises, it was different. Emma was not just an
employee; she was being groomed for leadership. Mr. Carson needed the approval of key figures, even
if it was just for show.
Inga, always the skeptic, scoffed at the idea. “This is absurd! She’s barely more than an intern. If we

The room filled with murmurs, some rolling their eyes discreetly. They all knew Emma’s special place in

Another colleague, always keen on details, inquired, “So, which project of for Emma, Mr. Carson?”
Mr. Carson outlined his plans, assigning Emma a high–stakes project in Easton District, a chance to
prove herself for a permanent executive role. The announcement left the room in a stunned silence.
Easton District was a significant challenge, requiring top–tier leadership and expertise garnered
through years of hard work and relevance in the industry.
Inga’s face contorted with envy. “You think she can handle such a complex task?”
Mr. Carson’s icy stare was answer enough. He didn’t need to justify his decisions to anyone, least of all
Inga.
The meeting concluded with Inga storming out and the others indifferent, more concerned with profits
than office politics.
Afterward, Emma and her friend Jada excitedly set out to decorate her new executive office. The room
felt like their own, a place of freedom and power. But their joy was short–lived as Inga blocked their
path, sneering at Emma’s qualifications. Emma, unfazed, introduced Jada as her assistant–a fitting role
for an executive. Ingra, frustrated at not finding any fault, left in a huff, and the two friends shared a
laugh, knowing Inga’s next target would likely be Mr. Carson.
