In the bustling city of Elysium, there lived a dedicated secretary named Soyeon. She was known for her impeccable work ethic and attention to detail. However, beneath her professional exterior, Soyeon battled the weight of depression that seemed to shadow her every step.

Her boss, Mr. Alexander Knight, was a successful and charismatic CEO, admired by many.
