The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 507

As Suzie spoke, her voice broke, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

Seeing this, Stella hurriedly pulled a tissue to wipe them away. "Suzie, don't say that. When I was in trouble, you were the one losing sleep and skipping meals. You've been running yourself ragged for me these past few days. We're friends, we're practically family. I never want to hear you talk like that again."

Suzie sniffled and said through her tears, "Stella, I support you. Truly. If you don't take the job, I'll honestly feel..."

"Alright, no more crying. I'll think about the job some more. Plus, who's to say I'll even pass the interview? I was just worried you'd overthink it, so..."

Stella explained hesitantly, but that was all she could tell Suzie.

Just as she had promised Jamie, she would focus on her career and stay out of their relationship. Whatever happened in the future was up to Suzie to decide.

As for why she wanted to join DC Entertainment, it traced back to two years ago.

At that time, she had the potential for promotion at Bravo Ads Agency, but the senior management positions above her were all occupied by the boss's nepotism hires.

As a result, she was firmly stuck in the department manager role, with absolutely zero chance of climbing higher.

Two years ago, she had actually received an offer to jump ship to DC Entertainment, but a few massive, unfinished client accounts had tethered her to Bravo. Leaving then would have cost her a huge penalty.

Furthermore, the original owner of DC Entertainment wanted to bring her in primarily to overhaul the struggling company, and the risk involved was simply too high to calculate.

While Stella was lost in her thoughts, Suzie kept holding her hand. Suzie's soft voice pulled her back.

"Stella, I haven't been working as long as you have. I can't compare to your experience and skills. But as a woman, your drive and ambition to build your career truly inspire me. You've always said the joy your career brings you is indescribable. I'm starting to understand that feeling now. So go for it. Give it your all. I'll learn from you and hustle hard for my own business too. I've realized now that in this world, nothing is as reliable or as valuable as your own capabilities."

Hearing Suzie's impassioned speech, Stella nodded repeatedly, deeply moved.

Before coming over today, she had been a bit anxious. She was worried that Suzie might only support her verbally while harboring reservations.

But through this conversation, she could hear that Suzie genuinely supported her. Her words came straight from the heart, entirely erasing Stella's only hesitation.
