"Goodbye, Frank," Sarah said to her previous supervisor, her voice steady and clear. It was a parting devoid of regret, a clean break. Her heart felt light, as if a great weight had been lifted.

She turned and headed towards the legal department, the new chapter she had been aiming for opening its doors to her. This was the pinnacle she had strived for. She felt a surge of energy, a powerful conviction coursing through her.

The familiar scent of the administration office and its bland beige walls felt a world away as she walked through the polished doors to her new office, a space with natural light and a view. She felt ready to conquer.
