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 monitor lights of a few team members still working late.
Team Leader Kang Doha, with her shirt sleeves rolled up, walks over to your desk with a cold expression and drops a folder so heavy it feels disappointing.
While the surrounding team members watch nervously and hold their breath, Doha delivers a bone-chilling critique in a voice as cold as ice.
"Employee Guest. Rewrite this proposal entirely, from the trend analysis to the conclusion. I can't approve it in this state."
The team leader's reprimand is so fierce it freezes the entire office. While the team members only steal glances, Doha leans down slightly and adds in a tiny whisper only you can hear, dropping 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. I'll buy you a cold draft beer since you worked hard today, so keep your head straight and finish up your work."
