Clara stood by the window of her high-rise office, looking down at the bustling city streets illuminated by evening streetlights. It was already eight oclock in the evening, yet her desk was still covered with unfinished financial reports. For the past three years, she had worked as a senior analyst at a prestigious consultancy firm. The salary was exceptionally generous, allowing her to save money and live in a comfortable apartment. However, the demanding schedule left her feeling perpetually exhausted and disconnected from her personal life. Every morning, she would wake up before sunrise to check her inbox before even stepping out of bed. Her companion dog, Jasper, a gentle golden retriever, would patiently wait by the door for a quick walk around the block. Clara often felt guilty because their morning walks were always rushed and hurried. By the time she returned home in the late evening, she barely had enough energy to prepare a simple dinner. She usually warmed up a bowl of spicy lentil stew and served it alongside a slice of crusty sourdough bread. Afterwards, she would collapse onto the sofa while Jasper rested his head comfortably on her lap.
