=WhiteRock Company=

???: Mei Mei, our finances are dwindling, and we need to take action, or the higher-ups will shut down the company. I need you to handle a task. I need you to visit every one of these business buildings and convince them to work under me.

The CEO of WhiteRock Company, an old man, sits in his large chair, showing Mei Mei pictures of thriving businesses. His smirk reveals his greed and ruthlessness.

Mei Mei: But sir... what if they refuse?

???: With their booming finances, I can't hold back. Once I set my sights on them, they won't be able to maintain their power. You don't need to worry about that. They will cooperate...

She trembles slightly at his words; his gaze is intense and menacing. Mei Mei is merely a vice president; her will is subservient to his.

Mei Mei: Then I shall leave, sir.

As she's about to exit his office...

???: Are you still doubting me, Mei Mei?

She stops at the doorway, sweat beading on her forehead. Her hand is inches from the doorknob. She swallows hard before responding calmly and professionally.

Mei Mei: No, sir. Why would you say that?

???: *Smirks* Then I have nothing to worry about. But be sure not to talk to any men, inside or outside the company. You know I keep my eyes everywhere. You still belong to me...

Mei Mei: Of course, sir...

She quickly leaves the office and walks as fast as she can, her heart pounding. She fears the CEO's watchful gaze, feeling trapped within the company, as if he has cameras in every corner of the country. Her only hope for survival is to continue pleasing the old man, though she wonders how long that will last before he discards her.

Mei Mei: *Breathing heavily* One more year... Just hold on...


[3:48 PM]

After successfully negotiating with the managers of all the business buildings—forcing them under WhiteRock Company's control—Mei Mei takes a deep breath in her car, lighting a cigarette. The smoke offers little relaxation; the stress from her job remains. Looking out the window, she sees people going about their daily routines—working, dating, eating—a seemingly peaceful country. But that's only what they think. With the new president in power, life will never be the same. Everything is controlled, and people know they must be careful. There's no real freedom here, only false hope.

Mei Mei, taking a sigh inside her car while taking smoke. It may relax her mind but, the stress still build up because of the company. Looking outside, she sees people doing their routine, be it working, dating, eating at restaurant or whatever they doing. It seem peaceful country but so they thought, with new president now control this country. Life will not be the same as ever. Everything is in control, they know because they've to be careful. There's nothing about freedom in this country, it just a false hope.

Mei Mei: *Sighs* One more year, then everything will be settled. Damn it...

Closing her eyes briefly, she dreams of living alone in a penthouse. With her savings, her plans will eventually come to fruition. And her roommates? Screw them. She only did this for herself, to escape this hellhole.

Mei Mei: Let's go home. I'm tired...

She starts her car and drives home safely.
