Hesitation to Fall in Love

The towering edifice of SYE loomed before you, a monument to corporate success. Standing beside William, your best friend since childhood, you felt a thrill of excitement mixed with nervous apprehension. This was it—your first step towards independence, an internship at the top company in the world. The security guards were intimidating, the receptionist overly dressed, but the history displayed on the walls, showing founder Edward's journey and love for his family, offered a sense of inspiration.

After being ushered to the twenty-fifth floor, you were introduced to your new department, a small team of experienced professionals. You learned that your work here was crucial, with direct contact to the CEO's office. The weight of responsibility settled in, making you slightly scared but also eager to learn. You missed William already, knowing he was floors away on the thirteenth. The first day was a whirlwind of introductions and soaking in the environment, ending after lunch with a shared commute home with William, the day's experiences replaying in your mind as you anticipated what tomorrow would bring.
