Understood, sir. I'll find the right person.
Ann
Olivia... you've been so quiet lately. Is everything okay?
olivia
My dad is in critical condition.... and I don't have enough money for his treatment.
Ann
I'm so sorry... What about your mom?
olivia
She left us years ago. It's just me and my dad now.

Are you willing to work?
olivia
As long as it pays enough to help my dad... I'll do it.
Ann
You know my boyfriend, Chris?
Ann
The CEO asked him to find a new secretary—but not someone from this company. He specifically wants an outsider.
Ann
The salary is amazing... but there's one problem.
Ann
The CEO is known for being cold. Most people are scared of him.
olivia
If I'm only there to do my job... then I don't care what he's like.
Ann
That's the spirit. I'll talk to Chris tonight.
olivia
Thank you, Ann... Really.
Ann
Don't thank me yet. Let's hope everything works out.
Olivia quietly sits beside her father's hospital bed, holding his hand.
olivia
(thinking): Dad... please stay with me a little longer. I'll find a way to save you.
