RYAN’S POV


    Days had passed, and it was thepany’s end-of-year honorarium, the asion happened every year to mark the end of a sessful year and the beginning of another. It was usually the biggest event thepany held every year. Even though the party happened annually, this year was different because we had made great achievement than the previous years and it had been nned to specially recognized myself and a few others who had performed well over the year.


    I had signed the biggest deal thepany had throughout the previous year, it was such a great achievement among my peers and I could not be more proud. In addition to the allowances and bonuses I received, I was promoted since my return from the United States and signing the deal with Sonnic.


    It was indeed a great achievement for thepany this year and thepany decided to host a celebration in the honour of everyone, who had worked hard for this especially me.


    Decorative lights filled the room and chattering filled the air, as the party went on, I could not be more proud of myself, ” yes, it was not an easy deal, but we were able to sign it.” I said proudly as the press interviewed me during the red carpet ceremony. I was excited  at my achievement and could not hide how ted  I felt.


    The room was filled withughter and lively conversation, as everyone enjoyed the music, food and drinks. I could not help but feel a sense of pride and aplishment as I looked around at the faces of everyone present.


    The music yed softly in the background, setting a festive atmosphere. And soon enough, Karl got up the pondium to addressed everyone. Everyone turned to him and the noise quiet down as he spoke.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    “Hello, everyone, wee to tonight’s event, he said as he beamed with smiles, he was up with his wife ire who stood by him as he addressed everyone and she seemed as beautiful as ever.


    ” I want to thank everyone for being here today, We are here to celebrate everyone for their resilence and hardwork through the year in thepany. I assure you that Victak Enterprises would not be where it is without your support and hard work. Special thanks to Ryan for his effort in signing the deal with Sonnic. I hope the pay- checks expressed our gratitude in no small way. Heughed, ” yes it did.” I screamed from the audience and everyone giggles too. Toast to more money and projects. Cheers everyone.” He said as he raised his ss for a toast. The crowd erupted in cheers as everyone raised their sses in toast to one another.


    As the apuse died down, I could not help but reflect on how far I hade. From starting as an intern to now being recognized as one of the top performers in thepany, it was truly a surreal moment for me.


    I mingled around with the guests, ” Congrattions Ryan.”  One of the guests said as she approached me. A wave of gratitude washed over me. It was not just my individual sess, but also the collective effort and support from my colleagues that had brought me here. I was happy with the achievement I had made.


    The room buzzed with excitement, and I couldn’t help but smile as I listened to the conversations around me. It was in moments like this that I realized how lucky I was.


    The evening was filled with joy and celebration as everyone gathered to honor not only my own achievements, but also those of my colleagues. I stood feeling a mix of pride and humility. The room was abuzz with conversation andughter, as I shared my story of my sess with Sonnic.


    I could not help but be amazed by how far I  had alle and now even though it was not just about me anymore; I was delighted I was among the few recognized to have worked tirelessly to make thispany thrive. As I looked around at the faces of the guests around,  I felt a deep sense of gratitude for everyone’s support.


    The music yed softly in the background, creating an atmosphere that was both festive and reflective. Someone bumped into me while I was thinking back on all of my aplishments, causing her purse to fall and her ss to spill over my shirt, sttering her drink all over me.


    ” I am  so sorry.” She apologised, attempting to remove the stains, as I picked up her purse and gave it to her.  As I gazed at her, I noticed a familiar face, but it could not be.


    ” Sophie!!! I muttered,  “Sophie was alive?” I enquired, staring at her, “But that can not be true, and how was she at the party?” All of the questions were flooding my thoughts. I did not appear to have the answers, and as I stared at her, memories of years before shed through my head.


    “Sophie,” I called out for her, and she halted, turning to face me with that familiar expression, “Is that you, Sophie?” “What are you even doing here?” I questioned her, “Excuse me, who are you?” She enquired unexpectedly, as though she did not know me.


    “It’s me Sophie, Remember your ex, Ryan.” I pointed to myself, attempting to get her to recall who I was. “Excuse me, I do not know anyone by that name, and as you can see, you are embarrassing me.” She reacted with a stern expression, and as she attempted to walk away, I went on to grip her hand.


    “How dare you touch me? I already told you I did not know you. Let go of me this minute!!!” She yelled at me, she immediately reached out for her purse to pick her phone.


    ” I guess I need to call security to excuse out of the premises.” She added as she scrolled her phone. “I am sorry, I guess I was mistaken.” I would have swore it was Sophie my ex girlfriend, you have such a great resemnce with her.


    “Well fortunately I am not her, you should go about harassing people calling them your ex.” She added, obviously disgusted by what I said.


    Just in Karl came to meet us.” Is anything the problem, honey.” Karl muttered, reaching for her waist.  “It is nothing, sir; I was simplyplementing madam on her beauty.” I responded hastily, not wanting her to report me to my boss. ” Well, I have good eyes, Dnt you think so?” He said with so much admiration in his eyes as he stared at her.


    ” You sure do sir.” I added and She turned to face him and kissed him.


    “Baby, we should go, I guess the guests are waiting.”  She said as she turned to go.  “She  didn’t seem like ire.” I mumbled to myself as they left.


    “She has to be Sophie, I guess Sophie is back.” I muttered as I left for the bathroom to clean off the stains off my shirt.
