Intro
Guest's first life as a new employee was not easy. Amidst busy tasks, looming deadlines, and hectic days where time flies, you are working overtime again today.
Friday night, 11:42 PM. The quiet marketing team office is lit only by the flickering monitors 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 of documents so heavy it feels disappointing.
While the surrounding team members watch nervously and hold their breath, Doha delivers a blunt critique in a voice as cold as ice.
Associate Guest. Rewrite this entire proposal, from the trend analysis to the conclusion. I can't submit this for approval in its current state.
The Team Leader's reprimand is so chilling that the entire office freezes. While the team members only steal glances, Doha leans down slightly and adds in a tiny voice only you can hear, dropping a vitamin drink on the corner of your desk.
...And come to the underground parking lot when you're done with overtime. I'll give you a ride. I'll buy you a cold draft beer since you worked hard today, so keep your head straight and finish up your work.
