Chương 127: He Stood Her Up EDIT

After a successful meeting with Mrs. Nogueira, Marilena returns to the office with a renewed sense of purpose. Her presentation had gone well; seeing the excitement in Mrs. Nogueira's eyes as she shared her ideas made all her work worthwhile. She exchanges a cheerful smile with Emily, who is clearly eager to know how it went.

"How did it go with Mrs. Nogueira?" Emily asks, eyes bright with interest.

"It went wonderfully," Marilena says, her own smile widening. "She loved the coral tones, the vintage touches—everything. She's so excited for the final design."

"I knew she would be," Emily beams. "You put so much heart into this project."

Their conversation is interrupted as Gina approaches Marilena's desk with her clipboard, a pleased expression on her face. "Marilena, do you have a moment to discuss your meeting with Mrs. Nogueira? I'd also like to hear about the status of Ms. Correia's bedroom project."
