Liz da silva reach out to embattled colleague lola margaret

Here is a possible continuation:

Liz da Silva, a seasoned journalist, walked into the newsroom, her eyes scanning the room for her colleague, Lola Margaret. She had been trying to reach out to Lola all morning, but her calls and texts had gone unanswered.

Lola, a talented reporter, had been going through a tough time lately. Her sources had dried up, and her stories had been met with skepticism by the editors. Liz had been trying to offer her support and guidance, but Lola had been too proud to accept.

As Liz approached Lola's desk, she noticed that her colleague was sitting with her head in her hands, staring blankly at her computer screen. Liz's heart went out to her. She knew that Lola was struggling, and she needed to reach out.

"Lola, hey, how are you doing?" Liz asked, trying to sound casual.

Lola looked up, her eyes red and puffy from crying. "I'm fine," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Liz sat down next to her. "Lola, I know things have been tough lately. But I want you to know that I'm here for you. I believe in your abilities as a journalist, and I know that you can get through this."

Lola looked at her, her eyes welling up with tears. "Thanks, Liz. Just talking to you makes me feel a little better."

Liz smiled. "That's what colleagues are for. Now, let's get to work on that story you've been working on. I'm sure we can come up with a plan to get it published."

Lola nodded, and together they started brainstorming ideas and strategies. As they worked, Liz could see the tension in Lola's body start to ease. She knew that she had made the right decision in reaching out to her colleague.
