Sofia burst into Emily's house, out of breath and apologetic. "I'm so sorry I'm late, guys! I had to drop off a document to my brother, and I got held up."
Her friends, Emily and Liam, were already settled in for their study session. Emily smiled and handed Sofia a cup of coffee. "No worries, we've just started. Let's get going."
As they dived into their studies, Sofia couldn't shake off the feeling of embarrassment from her encounter with the stranger. She wondered if she would ever see him again.
Meanwhile, Ethan couldn't stop thinking about the girl he had bumped into. He asked Jack to find out who she was, but Jack's search yielded nothing. Ethan's curiosity was piqued, and he found himself wondering if he would ever run into her again.
At the office, Rock's meeting was a huge success, thanks to the documents Sofia had delivered. Ethan was thrilled with Rock's performance and called him into his office after the meeting.
"Rock, I just wanted to say great job today," Ethan said, a smile on his face. "Your work has been consistently impressive, and I'm pleased to see it paying off. I'm considering promoting you to a higher role, and I think you'll be ready for it in a few days."
Rock's eyes widened in surprise and gratitude. "Thank you, sir. I won't let you down."
Ethan nodded, pleased with Rock's dedication. "I know you won't, Rock. You've been an invaluable asset to this company."
As the day drew to a close, Sofia headed home, exhausted but satisfied with the progress they had made in their study session. She had no idea that her life was about to intersect with Ethan's in ways she never could have imagined.
