Forsaking the Years of Longing novel Chapter 92

Chapter 16

The morning sunlight filtered gently through the curtains, softly waking Daphne.

Jonathan knocked on her door.

"Today's your first day at work. Don't be late!"

"I know!" Daphne called back, opening her eyes.

She dressed with care, her heart a mix of excitement and nervousness for the new chapter in her life, and set off for the Walker Group headquarters.

As they neared the company building, Daphne insisted on getting out of the car early.

"I don't want people thinking I got in just because of connections," she said firmly.

Jonathan shook his head with a wry smile.

"Fine, fine. But take this and eat your breakfast."

Daphne took the sandwich from him and walked confidently toward the office building in her heels.

Taking a deep breath, she composed herself, ready to face the challenges ahead.

With the help of HR, she quickly completed the onboarding process and was assigned to a small team in the Finance Department as a junior employee.

Upon entering the Finance Department, she was greeted by the sound of hurried footsteps and urgent discussions.

It turned out the department had just received an emergency task-to analyze a complex set of market data to respond to imminent stock market fluctuations.

However, Zoey, the colleague originally in charge, had fallen ill suddenly and couldn't continue the work. With everyone else swamped with their own tasks, the team found themselves in a bind.

"What do we do? The analysis has to be done in thirty minutes, or we'll miss the best response window!" the department manager exclaimed in frustration.

At that moment, Daphne stepped forward.

"Manager, let me try. I've studied data analysis and might be able to help."

Everyone turned to look at the new junior employee in surprise.

With no better options, they decided to give her a chance.
