Rowan clenched his hands, waiting for Ruby's answer, his heart pounding against his ribs.
He was so nervous, but he couldn't look away. He needed to know what she would say.
Ruby could feel how nervous they were. She looked around and saw everyone watching her, waiting for her answer. The room was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. She knew she couldn't let such talent slip away. A warm smile spread across her face, and she finally said, "Congratulations! You got the job!"
"Oh my goodness!" Elias shouted, his voice full of joy and excitement. He couldn't hold back his emotions. He rushed over to Rowan and hugged him tightly. Rowan hugged him back, both of them smiling so wide it felt like their faces might split.
"Thank you, Miss Ruby!!" they both said at the same time, their voices filled with gratitude. They looked at her with so much appreciation, it was like she had given them the whole world.
