The icy days of winter continued to advance. As Christmas approached, the streets came alive with festive music and vibrant decorations, the colors of which brightened the cold, gray days.

Alice, however, was unconcerned by the hustle and bustle around her. faced by the Green and Yates families. He trusted that Caden had everything under control and preferred to pour his energy into his gallery.

He worked tirelessly, managing daily operations with unmatched dedication. Despite being the owner, Alicia was approachable and open with her employees, and made sure that all tasks were completed smoothly.

She was often the first to arrive in the morning and the last to arrive. leaving at night, embodying the ideal of a responsible and hard-working businesswoman.

Her reputation soon attracted the attention of the media. A journalist contacted her for an interview, curious to meet the woman behind the gallery's growing success.

When her assistant looked into the room, car window, called her worried. Miss Bennett, you too should go home and rest. He's trying too hard. Why don't you take the day off tomorrow.

I guess that's what it's like. things when you're the boss, commented one of Alicia's colleagues. Starting your own business is always an uphill battle. If Miss Bennett were more flexible with her business practices, perhaps she wouldn't have to work so hard.
