Inside his office, Samuel walked over to his desk, still smiling as he sat down. It felt like a weight had been lifted, like something had changed within him—something that couldn't be explained but only felt. Zinnia had become more than just a part of his life; she was his future, his reason for everything, and nothing in the world could shake that feeling now.
Timmy, Samuel's ever-loyal assistant, had been standing in the hallway when he saw Samuel enter. At first, he thought he was imagining things, but the smile on Samuel's face was real. It was rare—so rare, in fact, that Timmy could barely believe his eyes.
Before Samuel could settle into his chair, Timmy, still in shock, fumbled for his phone. He didn't want to get caught, but he couldn't let this moment slip by. He quickly opened the camera app, holding his phone up to capture the rare expression on his boss's face.
