End of meeting

Zinnia's heart pounded in her chest as she sat in her chair, the weight of her new role settling on her shoulders. Today had been one of the most important meetings of her career. She had to prove herself, not just to Victoria Chen, but to the entire company. Her father's legacy was on the line, and now, so was hers.

She had practiced her speech over and over, but now that the moment had come, doubt crept in. Could she really live up to her father's name? The memory of him standing tall, confident in every boardroom meeting, weighed heavily on her.

The meeting room was large, filled with the soft hum of conversation. Victoria Chen sat across from Zinnia, her expression unreadable. Known for her sharp mind and tough questions, Zinnia knew this would be no ordinary negotiation.

"I've seen your father navigate through tougher markets," Victoria continued, her voice steady. "Why should I trust that you'll be able to handle this?"
