As everyone began to celebrate, Aurora felt a rush of relief wash over her.
She had faced a significant challenge, and it had paid off.
The product order had skyrocketed to over a million units— the highest purchase the division had ever had.
Aurora couldn't believe the impact she had made in such a short time.
As the team congratulated each other, Mr. Smith approached Aurora again, his demeanor now completely different. "I have to say, Aurora, you surprised me," he admitted. "You're not just a pretty face with an airhead. You really know your stuff."
"Thank you, Mr. Smith," Aurora replied, her confidence blooming. "I'm glad I could contribute. I truly believe in the potential of this product."
As they spoke, the respect between them grew.
Aurora realized that perhaps Mr. Smith wasn't just a misogynist after all; he had the potential to be a strong ally in the industry.
