The air that night still carried the echo of applause and congratulations. Graduation had been everything Nina expected: a moment of consecration, an end to years of effort and dedication. However, as the hours passed and the guests dispersed, an unexpected feeling began to take over her. Between euphoria and pride, a silent restlessness crept in. What came next?
Standing before the large window of her small apartment, Nina held the glass of sparkling wine she had brought from the party. The view of the lit-up city before her seemed promising and imposing at the same time. Now, with her diploma in hand, she felt that a new phase of her life was about to begin. But along with the expectation came uncertainty. The recent death of her adoptive mother, a mysterious and reserved woman, still lingered over her, casting a shadow of doubt over her future. She had always dreamed of a brilliant career in the corporate world, but the fear of the unknown whispered doubts in her ear. Would she be able to meet her own expectations? Would she be able to find her place in such a competitive environment?
The weeks that followed were an emotional roller coaster. Sending out resumes, the tense interviews, the days of anxiously waiting for a reply email. Then, finally, the news came: she had been accepted into the trainee program of one of the largest multinationals in the country. The achievement brought a wave of relief and joy. Little did she know that this opportunity would put her on the path of dark secrets and unimaginable dangers. This was the first step on a long ladder she intended to climb.
On the eve of her first day, Nina barely slept. The weight of responsibility mixed with the excitement of the unknown. Would she make friends? Would her boss be demanding? Would she be able to prove her worth? With her heart racing and her mind full of possibilities, she forced herself to close her eyes and rest. Tomorrow, a new journey would begin. And she was ready to give her best, without imagining that this new chapter of her life would take her far beyond what she could foresee, revealing truths about her past and connecting her to a world of power and danger she never imagined existed.
