A 19-year-old girl was left all alone when, right after her father’s funeral, her stepmother kicked her out of the house …

Charles leaned in and gently kissed her. It was a tender, almost weightless kiss that made Tracy’s head spin. Until tomorrow, he whispered, pulling away.

Sweet dreams. Until tomorrow, she echoed, watching him walk to his car. Riding up in the elevator, Tracy couldn’t hold back her smile.

A new chapter was beginning in her life, and for the first time in a long time, the future didn’t seem like a heavy burden of responsibility, but appeared full of new possibilities and hopes. Spring brought not only nature’s awakening, but also a new stage in Tracy’s life. The company Brown Renovations was thriving under her leadership.

Three new residential complexes were completed exactly on time, and clients left glowing reviews about the quality of construction and honest approach to business. All the employees gathered in the company’s conference hall. An important meeting was preceded by a small ceremonial moment.

Dear colleagues, Tracy began, looking around at everyone gathered. Today marks exactly six months since I took over the management of the company. I want to thank each of you for your support, patience, and trust.

I couldn’t have managed without you. We should be thanking you, Richard replied, standing up. You preserved the spirit of the company that your father created and brought new ideas that moved us forward.

Applause broke out. Tracy smiled movedly, noticing Charles in the far corner of the hall, looking at her with undisguised pride. Over these six months, their relationship had grown into a strong bond based on mutual respect and love.

I have an important announcement, Tracy continued as the applause died down. Today we officially launched the Andrew Brown Charitable Foundation. The foundation will help orphans and families in difficult life situations with housing and education.

On the desk stood his photo in a formal frame. She often talked to it, telling about work matters and asking for advice in difficult situations. You would be proud, dad, she said quietly, looking at the familiar face.

We’re doing everything as you wanted. There was a soft knock on the door. May I? Charles peeked into the office.

How do you feel after the presentation? I was a little nervous, but now I feel better. Tracy smiled. So much has happened over these six months, and there’s still a lot ahead.

Charles came up to her and took her hands. By the way, I spoke with our lawyers about Miranda. She agreed to sell her shares.
