When Lily returned to her group, Mia immediately pulled her into a tight embrace. “Congratulations on completing your first film!” she said warmly, her pride evident. She couldn’t help but reminisce about the day they first met in that quiet coffee shop, where a determined and beautiful girl had approached her with big dreams.

Even though the movie hadn’t been released yet, Mia felt confident it would be a massive success. She knew this film would mark the beginning of Lily’s promising career, cementing her place in the industry as a talented actress.

“Thank you, Sister Mia, Lily said with a bright smile, her eyes glistening with happy tears. A profound sense of achievement surged through her. For the first time in this second chance at life, she felt recognized for her true talent. She was being praised for her own efforts, her acting–not as a stand–in for Rose.

As Mia stepped back, Mira, another member of the team, practically jumped in with enthusiasm. “Lily, you were incredible!” she exclaimed, clearly in full fan–girl mode. I mean, wow! I still have goosebumps from that last scene. It’s hard to believe this is your first film. You were so real, so captivating–I’m officially your fan now! Quick, sign this for me!” She eagerly thrust a small notebook toward Lily.

Laughing, Lily accepted the notebook and signed her name with a flourish. The joy and warmth of the moment were infectious, and she felt deeply grateful for the support and encouragement from those around her.

A little while later, after exchanging goodbyes, Lily and Mia headed home separately.

Back at her apartment, Lily decided to freshen up. She took a relaxing shower and changed into a comfortable casual outfit. Settling onto the couch, she picked up her phone, planning to call Ethan to discuss the party that evening.

Just as her fingers hovered over the dial, the doorbell rang.

Could it be Ethan? she wondered, a smile forming on her lips as she walked toward the door.

However, her smile faltered slightly when she opened it to find an unfamiliar deliveryman standing there.

“Yes?” she asked politely.

“Ma’am, these are for you,” the young man said, handing her two beautifully wrapped boxes.

“Thank you,” Lily replied, accepting the packages. Closing the door behind her, she carried them back to the couch.

Placing both boxes on the table, she noticed that one was larger than the other. Intrigued, she picked up the larger box first and spotted a note attached to the top.
