"Ms. Lily, this is your office."
"The young lady outside will assist you with your work. Of course, she's a newbie."
"If you're not satisfied, you can file a report. After it's reviewed, we'll arrange a switch for you."
Lily stared at the slightly cramped yet efficiently laid out office and was a bit dazed.
From now on, would she become the deputy in charge of women's affairs? And would she be communicating with the media with the help of professionals?
After the introducer left, she peered through the blinds toward the lobby.
Three years ago, she was still a housewife dependent on a man.
Two years ago, reeling from a sudden divorce, she was just as panicked as the women outside, waiting for help and fearful of re-entering society.
But who could have imagined that she, now a thirty-year-old single mother, would achieve her college dream in such a way?
Lily looked down at her black office-lady suit and felt as though she was still dreaming.
