00:00A dayabee had walked the streets of Lagos all day, clutching her worn brown envelope that

00:05held her CV, and a reference letter from her church. She had applied to many offices with

00:11little hope. Jobs were hard to find, and her mother's medical bills were piling up.

00:17One morning, she came across a notice outside a sleek building.

00:21Now hiring, cleaners needed. She hesitated, she had a diploma in business administration,

00:28but right now, pride was a luxury she couldn't afford, she stepped inside.

00:33The receptionist eyed her modest clothes and tired face.

00:37Sit and wait, she said curtly. After twenty minutes, a tall man in a navy suit stepped into the room.

00:45His presence was commanding but calm. I'm Mr. Raymond, the branch manager.

00:51You're here for the cleaner's position? A dayabee stood.

00:55Yes sir. He reviewed her file quietly, then looked up.

01:01You have a diploma? Why apply for a cleaner role?

01:06She swallowed. About to say something but the man cut her off immediately, come back tomorrow.

01:13A dayabee arrived early the next day, dressed in clean black jeans and a white blouse.

01:18She expected to be handed mops and rags, but instead, the receptionist gave her a file and

01:25told her to head upstairs. She found Mr. Raymond in a conference room.

01:30You're not going to be a cleaner, he said. I'm making you my administrative assistant trainee.

01:37Her mouth dropped. Responding that she didn't apply for that.

01:41Mr. Raymond saw potential in her determinations and honesty.

01:46A dayabee blinked fast, holding back tears. She was lucky and graceful.

01:52Within weeks, A dayabee became the manager's right hand.

01:56She learned quickly, organizing schedules, drafting emails, and handling logistics.

02:02But not everyone was pleased. The receptionist, Grace, whispered rumors.

02:09Other cleaners muttered that Ada must have used charms or woman tricks to earn the position.

02:15But Mr. Raymond seemed unaware. One afternoon, when A dayabee was filing documents, he said gently,

02:22don't mind what people say. Stay focused, your work speaks for itself.

02:28That quiet encouragement fueled her. Six months later, A dayabee was officially promoted to

02:35assistant administrator. Her mother's health had improved, and she had even begun saving to

02:40further her studies. One evening, as she left the office late, she saw Mr. Raymond waiting by the

02:47entrance. He said. I'm proud of you, and I've enjoyed working closely with you, he told A dayabee to

02:54call him by his name. There was a moment of silence, full of possibility. And in that moment,

03:01A dayabee realized life didn't always go according to plan, but sometimes, it turned out even better.

03:08Though A dayabee was growing professionally, she couldn't forget her roots.

03:13One Sunday, she visited her old neighborhood and donated to a local church to support young

03:18girls in school. But her past wasn't done with her yet. At nightfall, she received a call from

03:25her ex-boyfriend, Chinidu, who left her when she needed him most. Chinidu claimed he had changed and

03:32pleaded for another chance, A dayabee felt torn and quiet. At work, Raymond noticed her distraction.

03:40From his soft thoughts, he turned to her and said.

03:42You don't owe anyone your peace, don't let your past slow you down.

03:47Bright Clean Services was expanding to rivers, and A dayabee was shortlisted for a major role,

03:53branch coordinator. It meant higher pay, a chance to lead, and relocation.

03:59But Grace, the bitter receptionist, wasn't done. She leaked a fake rumor that A dayabee and Raymond

04:06were secretly dating. Head office began watching closely.

04:10You may be transferred not because of promotion, Raymond said grimly.

04:16But to avoid scandal. A dayabee was crushed. A dayabee found Grace in the break room and

04:23confronted her calmly. Grace laughed bitterly and said,

04:26You walked in and became a queen. I've been here four years. A dayabee responded to her.

04:34Then work better, you don't destroy another woman because you're not rising.

04:38That same day, HR investigated the rumor.

04:43The branch cleared A dayabee's name, but Raymond was warned to maintain professional distance.

04:49Two weeks later, A dayabee received her letter.

04:53Confirmed as branch coordinator, River's office.

04:57A bittersweet win.

04:59On her last day, Raymond handed her a small envelope.

05:02I won't stand in your way, he said, lowly, but if life ever leads you back here, know there's

05:08someone waiting.

05:10Inside the envelope, a handwritten letter, and his personal number.

05:15A dayabee boarded the night bus with her head high, knowing her story was just beginning.

05:19Under the baheen.

05:30Andúblic�� Joaquin.

05:31After that, leaving the book, the divine beauty, relationship with the love and love.

05:38And the book shall have been on time.

05:41So that's all and what they'll be brought in from our family.

05:42That's all.

05:42I love you.

05:43So the very morning went by the book playing.

05:45I love you.

05:46I love you.

05:46So the first time I want you.
