5 years later...

"Mrs. Dobrik, what do you think of this pattern for Tuesday's post?"

"Cindy, call me Sophia. I see you every day." She laughed, taking a look at the iPad in front of her.

"I'm thinking we should just scrap the pattern idea entirely and do block prints."

"Sounds good." The intern nodded, collecting her things before rushing out of the office.

"Sophia! George just called and said his client doesn't want to accept the offer." Her assistant groaned from her desk.

"Put George through. I'll talk to him." She waited until the phone in front of her lit up to answer it.

"Hello, George. I hear you're giving my assistant a rough time."

"If I had known she'd put me through I might've gone a little easier." He joked, making her roll her eyes.

"Listen, we've known each other a long time so I give you my best offers first. If you don't want it, I'll give it to Janine and her client will like it just fine."

"Not Janine. Anyone but Janine."

"Sorry, George. She's always my next call."

"Fine, my client will take the offer. Three posts?" He smirked, raising an eyebrow.

"The offer was five posts. Take it or leave it."

"You keep me young, Sophia."

"Someone has to. See you later George." She laughed, saying a quick goodbye before hanging up the phone.

"We've never done business with a Janine have we?" Her assistant mumbled, flipping through the address book in front of her.

"What George doesn't know won't hurt him." Sophia winked, standing up from her desk and grabbing her coffee.

"Nova House, Julia speaking. Mrs. Dobrik isn't in right now. Can I take your message?" Her assistant's voice faded as she made her way across the office.

She exhaled happily as she took a look at her surroundings. A lot of things had changed since she got married. Last year, she started a social media firm that handled marketing, advertising, and event planning operations involving companies and influencers. She was like one big networking hub where advertisers and clients could meet. Business soared relatively quickly and she was doing well. She still did YouTube, but the majority of her energy was focused on her business. She had made a lot of important connections and was really happy with the work she was doing. She took the elevator down to the parking garage before hopping into her Tesla. She had finally made enough money to buy one for herself and for her father, which made her really happy.

She took off towards the studio, jamming out to music on the way there. Once she arrived, she pulled up to her designated parking spot and went through the building's doors. Tons of creators lined the halls and were scattered across the space. She said a quick hello to the few she had met before going up the stairs to the executive offices. She turned the corner, her heels clacking along the modern concrete floor. She smiled at the familiar face through the office's glass doors, opening it and walking in. David had also focused on a business idea aside from Youtube. He had partnered with Casey Neistat to open a West Coast-based creative studio with content creators from all over the world. There were editors, videographers, and talent all in one building. They had recording spaces and editing studios that were available for creators to film and mingle in. It was an extremely popular location.

"Hey, baby. Long time no see." David joked, making her giggle.

"Ready for lunch?" She asked, pecking his lips quickly before sitting across from him.

"Let me finish this email and then we can go."

She sent a quick text on her phone, looking up at him with a smile as he sent his email.

"What?"

"I love you." She shrugged, making him blush.

"Shut up. That was cute." He laughed, standing from the desk. She walked out with him hand in hand, catching up with him about his day.

"Don't forget we have that party tonight at our house."

"I don't like having people over. Our house is so new."

"We moved in three years ago."

"That's new to me." He shrugged, making her roll her eyes playfully.

"We're telling everyone about the baby. It's not gonna be a rager."

"Let's hope not."

"You're getting old, Dobrik." She giggled, kissing his cheek quickly.

"As long as I'm with you." He smiled, squeezing her hand lovingly.

"Always."
