A young woman took her mother’s necklace to a job interview, but when the boss looked at her neck, he was stunned, speechless upon recognizing the necklace. …

Luana woke up early as usual, but that morning was different. The nervousness mixed with excitement made her heart beat faster than normal.

She had an important interview for the position of secretary at one of the largest companies in the city, a crucial step toward changing her life. Luana had been striving for years to establish herself, and at just 24 years old, she already carried a history of challenges overcome with determination and hard work. Margaret, her adoptive mother, had always been a pillar of support, encouraging her to pursue her dreams.

As she got ready, Luana felt the need for something special, something that would bring her luck. While rummaging through her things, she found a small wooden chest at the back of her wardrobe where Margaret kept old items. Among yellowed photos and memories of the past, there was a gold necklace with a delicate amethyst pendant.

Luana had always thought the piece was beautiful, but she had never worn it. She decided that it would be the special touch for her important day. Upon arriving at the impressive building of Clark & Associates, Luana couldn’t help but feel a twinge of intimidation.

The glass walls and modern design gave the place an air of sophistication. She took a deep breath and entered, her heels echoing through the lobby. She was greeted by the receptionist who, with a rehearsed smile, directed her to wait in the interview room.

When she was finally called, Luana entered the room where Henry Clark, the company’s CEO, was waiting for her. He was a man of striking presence, with well-trimmed grey hair and piercing eyes that seemed to analyse every detail before him. Luana tried to remain calm, introducing herself with a confident smile.

Henry greeted her formally, but his eyes soon fixed on the necklace Luana was wearing. For a moment, Henry’s expression changed. His eyes widened slightly and he was silent for a few seconds, which felt like an eternity to Luana.

Feeling the growing discomfort, she adjusted the necklace, thinking it might be misplaced. But Henry’s reaction was much deeper. Where did you get that necklace? Henry asked, his voice firm but with a trace of evident emotion.

Luana hesitated, surprised by the unexpected question. The atmosphere in the room had completely changed and she felt an unexplainable pressure. This necklace, Luana began, trying to understand the reason for the question.

It’s my mother’s—I mean, my adoptive mother Margaret’s. She kept it in an old chest. I thought it was pretty and decided to wear it today.

Is there a problem? Henry took a deep breath and leaned back in his chair, his eyes still fixed on the necklace. His expression wavered between shock and pain. That necklace belonged to my daughter Juliana, Henry said, his voice choked.

I gave it to her as a gift on her eighteenth birthday. She disappeared twenty-one years ago, and we never heard from her again. Luana felt a shiver run down her spine…
