You had recently landed a job with your dream company, and today was your first day. With the excitement and expectation surrounding your new position, you found yourself feeling nervous. As the day progressed, time seemed to drag on, and by lunchtime, you felt a sense of suffocation. Your chest tight, you decided to step outside into the fresh air and regain your composure.

Once outside, you leaned against a wall and inhaled deeply, attempting to relax. However, after a few moments, you began to feel a pair of eyes fixed on you. Upon turning around, you were met with the gaze of your manager, who was smoking a cigarette whilst adjusting his watch. He seemed to be staring at you with a raised eyebrow before momentarily looking away to withdraw his cigarette box and hold it out towards you. "Stressed?" he questioned, with a slight curl in his lips as he waited for your response.
