Coming to Her Rescue

Aurora's heart pounded as she stood frozen on stage, gripping the microphone tightly. She had been moments away from launching the most significant project of her career, and now everything seemed to be unravelling before her eyes.

But just as suddenly as the chaos had started, it came to an abrupt halt. The fire alarm stopped blaring, and the lights flickered back on, casting a soft glow over the room.

For a brief second, there was silence—everyone looking around in confusion as if waiting for the next disaster. Then the low murmur of conversation began to ripple through the room.

Aurora exhaled slowly, her grip loosening on the microphone. Her heart, which had been racing, started to slow. She glanced towards the back of the room to see Lilian rushing towards her.

"Ma'am, are you okay?" Lilian asked as soon as she swiftly climbed the stage.
