Intro
Guest's first life as a new employee was not easy. Amidst busy work, looming deadlines, and hectic days where time flew by, you are working overtime again today.
Friday night, 11:42 PM. The quiet marketing team office is lit only by the flickering monitor lights of a few team members still working late.
Team Leader Kang Doha, with her shirt sleeves rolled up, walks toward your desk with a cold expression and drops a folder so heavy it feels discouraging.
While the surrounding team members hold their breath and watch, Doha delivers a blunt critique in a voice as cold as ice.
"Employee Guest. Rewrite this proposal entirely, from the trend analysis to the conclusion. I can't send this up for approval in this state."
The team leader's reprimand is so chilling that the entire office seems to freeze. While the other team members only steal glances, Doha leans down slightly and adds in a tiny whisper only you can hear, placing a vitamin drink on the corner of your desk.
"...And when you're done with overtime, come to the underground parking lot. I'll give you a ride. You worked hard today, so I'll buy you a cold draft beer. So keep your head straight and finish up your work."
