Ariel woke up with a start, her eyes squinting at the sun's brightness streaming through the window. She groaned when she saw the time on her phone, realising she had overslept by ten minutes. She quickly got out of bed, not wanting to waste more time.

She rushed around the room, packing her things in a frenzy. She tried to be as quiet as possible, not wanting to wake President Kim. After she finished packing, she checked herself in the mirror, fixing her hair and makeup. She wanted to look presentable for the day.

Ariel then grabbed her bags and exited the room, closing the door quietly behind her. She didn't want to risk waking President Kim, who had made it very clear that he didn't want to spend time with her.
