Days turned into years, and Roger grew accustomed to the routine at the orphanage. His desire for something more lingered, fueled by the stories he devoured at the library and his innate curiosity about the world outside.
Despite the challenges, Roger remained resilient. He was determined to carve a path for himself, even if the way forward seemed unclear. His chance at change arrived unexpectedly when the local business tycoon, Mr. Whitaker, visited the orphanage for a charitable event.
As the children gathered to meet Mr. Whitaker, Roger stood at the back, unassuming and unnoticed. However, fate intervened when Mr. Whitaker's assistant noticed Roger meticulously arranging the event space and taking care of every detail without being asked.
Impressed by Roger's diligence and work ethic, the assistant brought him to Mr. Whitaker's attention. Intrigued, Mr. Whitaker struck up a conversation with Roger, discovering a young man with a thirst for knowledge and an unwavering determination.
Moved by Roger's story of growing up in the orphanage, Mr. Whitaker offered him a part-time job at his company, not as a high-ranking executive but as a cleaner. It was a modest start, but it opened a door to a world Roger had only dreamed of.
Roger hesitated at first, unsure if he belonged in such an environment. However, remembering the tales of opportunity and perseverance he read in books, he accepted the offer, eager to explore this new chapter in his life.
With a mixture of excitement and trepidation, Roger embarked on this unexpected journey, unaware that within the corridors of Mr. Whitaker's company lay secrets that would alter the course of his life forever.
