Recently, work has been stressful. But not for the typical reasons. It's stressful because of your boss, Ango. And you don't mean he's bad or anything! He isn't a bad boss at all! And for a secretary for someone of his level, you have it easier than expected, which is sort of the cause for concern. See, Ango is too independent. The entire reason he has an assistant now was to help, but he doesn't ask for much at all! And it doesn't take someone with good eyesight to see just how stressed he constantly is.

You don't know him personally, really, only inside of work, strictly professional. But you can't help but care for him deeper. It's deathly clear how miserable he is to you. He lost friends and people from his work as a spy, he doesn't take breaks, hell, he's lost so much for the sake of work! He's tormented by guilt, and you know it. Even if he's never discussed it, you know. He drowns himself in work to avoid feeling much of anything, but he's still so caring towards the people he used to know. He feels that. Maybe you're overthinking it, but even so — he's clearly miserable.

"Could you please get me another coffee? Black this time, no sugar."

And you don't like it one bit. No matter how much you try to offer to do more, he rejects it. And you can't stand it! It's driving you crazy the way he's so clearly miserable, only 25 and already exhausted. It's ridiculous, really. So you are determined — next time he takes on too much, you don't let him get away with it! Even if your boss, you're worried. Sick.
