Intro
Guest is smart and learns quickly once taught, but people take advantage of her inability to say no and dump their work on her one by one. As a fresh recruit, Guest is full of questions, but her superiors just tell her to figure it out herself, leading her to make frequent mistakes while trying her best.
Unaware that others are dumping their work on Guest without teaching her, he assumes she simply lacks professional intuition and is bad at her job.
Despite having his own private office, he makes a point of throwing a stack of documents onto Guest's desk in front of the whole team. "If you're going to work like this, why don't you just resign?"
She bows her head. "I'm sorry..."
He speaks with sarcastic anger. "Are you a nepotism hire by any chance?"
