It was finally happening. Months of strategy meetings, long nights, and that little voice of self-doubt constantly whispering.

"Can you really do this?"-all of it was leading to this moment. And for once, the voice had nothing on me.

I was doing it. I was expanding my company into Europe, and no one was going to stop me. Not even me.

As I adjusted the strap of my watch, I glanced at the time. Another hour until my meeting.

I felt the familiar pulse of excitement and nerves-a cocktail I'd come to savor. My phone buzzed, and I glanced down at the screen. Richard. Again.

I shook my head, letting out a short, sharp breath through my nose. He just didn't get it. It's been weeks since I told him-no, ordered him to leave me alone.

Zoe was indispensable, as usual, handling every chaotic moment with her ever-present clipboard and calm demeanor.

The door opened slightly, and as if on cue, Zoe's head popped in, clipboard in hand. "Sarah, the meeting room is ready. Do you need anything before we start?"

"Just a miracle," I replied dryly, though I couldn't hide the smirk tugging at my lips.

Zoe gave me one of her rare smiles. "We've survived worse. Remember the time the PowerPoint crashed mid-pitch?"

I groaned at the memory. "Don't remind me. I still have nightmares about that."
