Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 29

Chapter 29:

Brian’s voice trailed off.

Silence lingered between him and Rachel.

“I’ve got to go,” Rachel said.

Just then, Samira burst through the door.

Clutching a takeout container, she hurried over to Rachel. “Ms. Marsh, the cafeteria has closed, but I picked up some pasta for you. It’s delicious—try some. I think you’ll really enjoy it.”

“Thanks so much!”

Rachel savored the pasta with every bite.

It had been ages since she had experienced such care and warmth.

Before, she had often mirrored Brian’s preferences, adopting his likes and dislikes. Caught up in mimicking him every day, she nearly lost sight of her own tastes.

“Samira, I remember your sister is gone, right?”

“Yes, it’s just me and my mom now,” Samira replied with a nod.

Taking her hand, Rachel suggested, “You once told me I remind you of your sister. If it’s alright with you, think of me as your sister from now on.”

Samira was visibly moved by the gesture.

Rachel offered a reassuring smile. “And just call me Rachel.”

“Alright, Rachel. You should finish up quickly. There’s an interview scheduled this afternoon.”

After Samira exited, Rachel felt a surge of happiness.

The upcoming interview session involved five candidates.

Rachel was looking to hire an intern—someone who could assist with her work and handle some design tasks.

Given that it was just an internship, the standards were still quite strict. Samira was present for the interviews. The first four candidates each displayed notable qualities and impressed Rachel.

She felt quite content with the outcomes.
