Tough New Job

Mandy barely had a moment to acclimate to the time difference before diving headlong into her mountain of work.

For over ten grueling hours, she sifted through stacks of data, eyes locked on her screen, fingers flying as she tried to make sense of it all.

Finally, she set down her stylus and rubbed the bridge of her nose, feeling the strain of staring at the screen for so long.

"Miss Wright, anything I can help you with?" A young woman appeared beside her, offering a polite smile.

Mandy shook her head. "I need to see Koros first."

As she moved to gather the documents on her desk, the assistant stepped forward, ready to help.

Mandy gently but firmly pushed her hands away. "I'll handle it myself. If I don't, I won't be able to find anything later."

The assistant shot her a quick, unreadable glance before stepping back. "Of course, my apologies."

"It's all part of the job," Mandy replied, her tone professional but resolute.
