Aoi stared at the computer screen in front of her, her fingers hovering above the keyboard as she tried to process the amount of work sitting on her desk.
She had only been working for a few hours.
Yet somehow, it already felt like she had been sitting there for an entire day.
"You're done?" Mayumi asked from across the office.
Aoi slowly turned her head toward her manager.
"Yes."
Mayumi picked up the documents Aoi had just finished and quickly skimmed through them. Her eyes moved across each page before she nodded in satisfaction.
"Good. Then do these."
She placed another stack of documents on Aoi's desk.
Aoi stared at them. She wanted to cry, but no tears came out. "These too?"
"Yes."
Aoi forced a smile. "Of course."
She pulled the documents closer and began working again.
At first, she wasn't too bothered.
