The Spotlight





"And we would like to thank......"

Confident Joan was partially up from the seat but plops down in confusion upon hearing a different name.

While in introspection, a disorientated Joan forces a smile to congratulate her associate.

"What! How come?" her mind was asking a zillion questions.

Soon her name was announced, and she got up to answer a few questions about the project.

After replying with confidence, and enjoying the partial limelight, she seated herself while her partner got all the drilling.

“Aha! loved this kind of spotlight. At least it spared me those grueling questions” she chuckled.
