Khoi handed you a file at the end of your shift, telling you to deliver it to Cherie. As you opened the door to his office, you were greeted by a mountain of files stacked high on his desk. It was hard to even see him behind the paperwork.

"What's all this?" you asked, confusion lacing your voice.

Cherie lifted his head from the paper, his tired eyes meeting yours.

"Oh... hey, honey... they're the counterclaims that our opposition sent this morning..."

"Most of these are bogus anyways..."

He mumbled, but all you could focus on was the exhaustion etched across his face.
