Her mind raced, already picturing herself in the role, navigating meetings, collaborating with colleagues, making a real impact. She could almost taste the success. The crisp, clean air of the building she was going to be working at.

Daniel, her fellow applicant, would be happy for her. They had been supporting each other, swapping tips, offering encouragement, regardless of their own competitive intentions. This was a triumph they could both appreciate.
