Amelia stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her glasses and smoothing the fabric of her blouse. At 26 years old, she had a youthful yet determined look. Standing at 5'7" with a fairly fit physique, she possessed a certain nerdy. Her straight brown hair was tied back in a low ponytail, giving her a professional yet approachable appearance.
Her personal life, however, was less polished. Single and somewhat unlucky in love, Amelia had focused much of her energy on her career. Her parents lived in another town, and while they were supportive, their physical distance often left her feeling a bit lonely. She had a few close friends, but the demands of her previous job had left little time for a vibrant social life.

Amelia chose a conservative yet elegant outfit for her first day. She wore a tailored navy blue blazer over a white silk blouse, paired with a knee-length pencil skirt and modest heels. The attire was completed with a delicate silver necklace and a leather-bound notebook tucked under her arm. As she entered the towering glass building of Smiths Co., Amelia took a deep breath and stepped into the spacious, modern lobby.
