Eliza's POV

Last night, my mom and I had a long night's talk. We talked about life and our memories, some I wish that never happened. We talked so much that I didn't realize that I fell asleep on the couch of the lounge. It wasn't until I heard my mom shout my name that I got alerted and suddenly woke up all confused

" AHH WHAT MOM, WHAT HAPPENED?" I say all startled and confused.

" Eliza, come here... U HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED INTO THE ORGANIZATION! LOOK AT THIS EMAIL!"

"WHHHAAAAAT!! BUT HOW.. HUH, WHAT SHOW MEEE!!!" I ran towards the kitchen where Mom was holding the phone with the email. I then took the phone from her hand and read the email.

I couldn't believe this was happening, I thought he wasn't even interested in the interview. Nonetheless, it accepted me into the organization. But I guess luck is by my side.

"Mom, see I told you I would make you proud, I told you I would make our times better and put a smile on your face, I TOLD YO -"

"Mom?... WHY ARE YOU CRYING!?" I look at my mom whose eyes are filled with tears dropping one by one.

" No, no, I am not crying. It's just tears from happiness... I am so proud of you, so so proud, my sweetheart." She then kisses me on the forehead and embraces me in a warm hug.

"I love you, mom,"

"I love you too, honey."

The next day

"Ok, Mom, I am leaving for my new office," I say, pressing the word "new" to show my content and happiness.

"Sure honey, make sure to eat well and take care of yours -"

"I know, I know, Mom. Don't worry, I will," I said while closing the door.

" What a daughter I have,"

I then suddenly trip on something and almost fall, but I hold onto the wall.

"What the hell did I-" Before I complete my sentence, I look behind and see a black briefcase with a red bow and a letter next to it. I take the briefcase and open it, holding the letter in my hand. My eyes widen in shock.

"WHAT THE F***!"

"WHAT!? WHAT HAPPENED +ELIZA, ARE YOU OK!??" Suddenly, the front door slams open, and my mother comes out with a worried look and locks her gaze at my face.

"Mom... look at this."

"What is it?"

"ITS A CHECK OF A FU- I MEAN A FRICKING MILLION DOLLARS!!!"
