Re-title: placing a div above another div through positioning

Question

Positioning the shared div as shown above was a challenge for me. Well I tried positionabsolute with bottom and left very frustratingly adjusting the px but the output always stacks on top or bottom. How can I achieve similar output to the one in the picture?

:root {
  --VeryDarkGrayishBlue: hsl(217, 19%, 35%);
  --DesaturatedDarkBlue: hsl(214, 17%, 51%);
  --GrayishBlue: hsl(212, 23%, 69%);
  --LightGrayishBlue: hsl(210, 46%, 95%);
}

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  font-family: "Manrope", sans-serif;
}

body {
  background-color: var(--GrayishBlue);
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  min-height: 100vh;
  padding: 20px;
}

.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 2fr 3fr;
  max-width: 1150px;
  max-height: 390px;
  margin: auto;
  background-color: white;
  overflow: hidden;
  border-radius: 0.8em;
}

.img-box {}

.img-box img {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  object-fit: cover;
}

.text-box {
  padding: 8%;
}

.text {
  padding-bottom: 30px;
}

.title {
  color: var(--VeryDarkGrayishBlue);
  padding-bottom: 10px;
}

.subtitle {
  color: var(--GrayishBlue);
  font-size: 1.1em;
}

.writer img {
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  border-radius: 50%;
}

.footer {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  align-items: center;
}

.name {
  margin-left: 12px;
}

.name h4 {
  color: var(--VeryDarkGrayishBlue);
}

.name p {
  color: var(--GrayishBlue);
}

.share {
  margin-left: auto;
}

.share-icon button {
  border: none;
  width: 40px;
  height: 40px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  background-color: var(--LightGrayishBlue);
  cursor: pointer;
}

.share-option {
  width: 250px;
  height: 40px;
  background: var(--VeryDarkGrayishBlue);
  border-radius: 10px;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  color: white;
  position: absolute;
  bottom: ;
}

Answer 1

I made some changes to the code and used absolute to make the popup visible.

:root {
  --VeryDarkGrayishBlue: hsl(217, 19%, 35%);
  --DesaturatedDarkBlue: hsl(214, 17%, 51%);
  --GrayishBlue: hsl(212, 23%, 69%);
  --LightGrayishBlue: hsl(210, 46%, 95%);
}

  max-width: 1150px;
  max-height: 390px;
  margin: auto;
  background-color: white;
  border-radius: 0.8em;
}
.container:after {
  display: block;
  content: '';

.img-box {}
