After waving at the people on stage, Amelia and Damien went backstage.
"We all did a great job," Damien announced to the team, his voice filled with pride. "This collection wouldn't have been a success without every single one of you."
The team cheered, exchanging smiles and pats on the back.
"But," Damien continued, turning slightly, "I want to thank one key player in particular."
Before Amelia could react, he reached for her wrist and gently pulled her forward. "Miss Amelia Cosgrove."
Applause erupted once more, the team members nodding in appreciation.
"Good job, Miss Amelia!"
Amelia, surprised by the attention, felt a rare warmth spread in her chest.
"Thank you all, but this collection would have never been a success without you all."
"Ahh, don't be polite, Amelia," one of the members teased.
"Yes, don't be polite," Damien repeated.
