“So we had a little princess in our department all along? Dawn, did youe down from your castle to experience the struggles of us ordinary folks?”
Laughter echoed through the car. Dawn let out a sigh. “To be honest, I went into serious debt to buy this ce. Right now, I’m working like crazy just to pay it off.”
The others stared at her. “Are you serious?”
“How much do you still owe?”
Dawn shrugged helplessly. “I’ve lost track at this point. I’ll just pay it off little by little.”
And honestly, she wasn’t exaggerating at all.
She still owed Austin a good chunk of money, and it would take her a long time to pay him back.
Hearing all this, others in the car couldn’t help but sigh. Everyone agreed that life was tough for working folks–one could work their whole life and still struggle to pay the mortgage.
“Hey, Janice, why are you so quiet?”
A girl in the department named Jenny noticed Janice had been covering her mouth, looking a little off. “Are you feeling carsick?”
Janice shook her head. “No, I’m fine. Just thinking about something.”
Of course, she couldn’t admit the real reason–she was holding backughter.
Janice nced at Dawn. She had always believed that staying close to Dawn would be
beneficial. As long as she maintained a good rtionship with Dawn, their boss was more likely to notice her talents, which would make promotions and recognition so much easier.
But now …
Keeping a secret all by herself didn’t feel so great after all.
She cleared her throat.
She looked away and said calmly, “Just keep your head down and work hard. Sooner orter, your time wille–one day you might just go viral.”

Fame is the only way to give your work real value.
Her words left everyone in the car feeling a little down.
Most of them couldn’t even remember why they started studying design in the first ce.
Now, everyone was hustling just to survive. Some were even struggling to pay their rent. No one really had the energy to chase after their dreams.
Dawn said, “Just keep moving forward. Sooner orter, good things will happen.”
The cars sped along, heading north on the highway.
As the road got more remote and the streetlights thinned out, the scene outside the window turned hazy, and the mountain range in the distance looked closer and closer.
Janice pointed at one of the peaks. “See that? We’ll take a turn at the base of that mountain— the resort’s tucked in there.”
“In the canyon?”
“Exactly! Isn’t a canyon supposed to have mountains and rivers?”
“I guess you’re right.”
Everyone had been feelingid–back; some were even dozing. But as soon as they realized they were almost there, the excitement kicked in.
The wind in the mountains was biting, and it was much colder than in the city. Even though Dawn wore her windbreaker, her nose turned bright red from the cold.
Janice quickly handed her a mask. “Put this on. If you catch a cold, I’ll be in big trouble.”
Dawn replied offhandedly, “Why would you be?”
“Because the boss-”
She cut herself off mid–sentence.
Janice turned her head, forced a smile, and said with deliberate exaggeration, “Because taking care <b>of </b>you <b>is </b>a mission assigned by God. If I failed, fate wouldn’t let me off easy.”

Dawn gave her a puzzled look, that odd feeling surfacing again.
“Come on, we’ve arrived at the resort. Time to get out.”
Janice patted her lightly, skillfully changing the subject.

After they grabbed their luggage, the manager of the resort came out to greet them. His gaze moved over the group, lingering for a moment on Dawn before he smiled at Janice. “Ms. Knowles, right? Everything’s ready for you. Pleasee with me.”
He exined as he led the group on a quick tour.
Everything in the resort was brand new.
Even the marble floors looked like nobody had ever walked on them.
“This ce is great. It’s surrounded by mountains and water on all sides, and I heard there are
a couple of historical buildings out back. Sounds pretty cool.”
“So we’re the first batch of guests for the resort?”
“Of course! Wow, Janice, you must have some amazing connections to get us in.”
The group erupted with excitement.
When they reached the main hall, the manager told the front desk to assign rooms. “Ms. Knowles, since the resort isn’t officially open yet, we’ve upgraded everyone to luxury suites for free. I hope you find lots of inspiration during your stay.”
His eyes kept drifting to Dawn as he spoke.
Janice knew they owed the trip all to Dawn.
Smiling, she hooked her arm through Dawn’s. “Thank you so much! We’ll go to our room and let you get back to work.”
The manager nodded respectfully. “It’s my pleasure.”
As he walked away, Dawn frowned. “Is it just me, or did that manager keep looking at me in a
weird manner?”
Janice gave an awkward chuckle. “Did he?”
“He definitely did.”
