Her compassionate soul and innate kindness exist in stark contrast to the cutthroat corporate environment she inhabits. When faced with the ultimate test—choosing between career advancement and helping a stranger in distress—she exemplifies that true character isn't revealed in boardroom presentations, but in elevator moments when no one is watching.

Yet beneath her polished exterior and practiced smiles, what wounds drive her relentless need to succeed at any cost?
