BuzzNovel“Didn’t your university teach you any of this?”
“We... we did, but only the basics...” Vera admitted, feeling a little
sheepish.
Thankfully, Alessia didn’t press her further; she simply turned and walked away. Vera thought that would be the
end of it-until one day, Alessia dropped a hefty book onto her desk.
“Here. Take this hand study it for a week. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask me.”
Vera swallowed hard, staring at the thick manual on spreadsheets. She was several years older than Alessia, but
somehow she couldn't muster the courage to protest. So she picked up the book and nodded obediently.
Reading it was one thing; comprehending it was another. And actually putting it into practice was a whole new
world of trouble.
She tried looking up her questions online, but couldn't find any clear answers. As the clock ticked by, and she
still hadn't figured out this part, Vera started to panic.
Remembering what Alessia had said that morning, Vera gritted her teeth and typed out a brief description of her
problem. Squeezing her eyes shut, she hit send.
To be honest, she didn’t think much would cof it. She admired Alessia’s drive-how many middle schoolers
could run a company?—but part of her suspected this was just a rich parent giving their kid smoney to play
CEO for a while. Who knew how long the company would last?
If she didn’t need the money so badly, if this place didn’t offer such good benefits, Vera would have chosen a
bigger, more established firm in a heartbeat. Her friends were managing projects for major corporations, while
she was still struggling to master spreadsheets. The comparison

gnawed at her.
Lost in these thoughts, Vera nearly jumped out of her skin when her
phone rang.
It was Alessia. Vera swallowed and took three slow breaths before
answering. She couldn't explain why, but she felt oddly nervous about speaking to a girl who was barely in her
teens.
“H-hi, boss.”
“I'm going to take control of your computer for a moment. Watch my demonstration, keep the phone on, and
take notes as we go, okay?”
“Take control...?” Vera barely processed the words, but her hands moved automatically to follow Alessia’s
instructions. Moments later, their computers synced, and the cursor began moving on its own.
Vera stared in amazement.
“You made a mistake right here. You shouldn't have selected this column-you need to click this list instead, and
then...”
Alessia explained everything in plain language, breaking complex tasks into bite-sized steps, almost spoon-
feeding the information to her. Vera never imagined she’d be taking lessons after graduation-let alone from a
middle schooler-but there she was, feeling both humbled and strangely grateful.
She didn’t dwell on her embarrassment. Instead, she took the opportunity to ask about a few other things she
wasn't sure of. Before she knew it, an hour had flown by.
“That's enough for today. If you have more questions, just asktomorrow.”
Vera glanced up and realized it was already half past midnight.
“Oh—I'm so sorry, | lost track of time,”
