" Well, congratulations honey! You did a pretty good job", Ellie's mother congratulated her as everybody already went out.
" Thank you, mother !", Ellie replied with no emotion on her face.
" You did a very good job, it's true, but they're still very...undecided. But even with the success of the new drug some may still consider you rather immature and unfit for the job. Only one thing can convince them definitively", her mother said, arms crossed and with a smug smile on her face.
" Oh really ! ", Ellie rolled her eyes and crossed her arms as well.
" And what is this 'one thing' that could convince them definitively uh ?", Ellie asked, skeptical.
" Get married. Or at least announce your engagement to them and the position of CEO will be served to you on a silver platter", her mother said confidently.
" Huh ?!", Ellie scoffed.
