"It's too late, Ndien. A manager my age would be considered old!" Lisa snorted irritably as she buried her face in the pillow.
"Has your job application passed or not?"
"I've sent about 50 applications online but there is no response at all. Ah, I'm tired of it Ndien! What if I take a break? My neck hurts so much from looking at my laptop all day!"
"Don't be discouraged, Lis," said Andien excitedly. "As long as you are alive, it means that God is still giving you the opportunity to fight!"
Hearing Andien's words, Lisa's anxious heart turned a little lighter and relieved. She was still young, she thought, so she shouldn't have given up this early.
That night, Andien and Lisa had dinner as usual. The two friends dined with a can of soft drinks and snacks while discussing trivial matters and daily life stories of each respective life.
"By the way Lis," Andien asked suddenly.
Lisa turned her gaze to Andien and cleared her throat.
