Opportunity
The next day, Ellen found herself lounging in the living room, flipping through a magazine. She was lost in an article about interior design when the doorbell rang, pulling her back to reality. Setting the magazine aside, she stood up and walked to the door.
When Ellen opened the door, she was greeted by a bright smile from Helga, who immediately pulled her into a warm hug. "Hi, Ellen!" Helga exclaimed, her voice full of genuine friendliness.
"Hi, Helga!" Ellen replied, returning the hug. "Come in, please."
As Helga stepped inside, her eyes widened with admiration. "Wow, this mansion is so beautiful," she commented, looking around at the grand foyer with its marble floors and elegant chandeliers.
Ellen smiled modestly. "Thank you. Please, make yourself comfortable."
They walked further into the house, Helga taking in the luxurious surroundings with an appreciative gaze. "What would you like to drink?" Ellen asked, gesturing towards the kitchen.
