Mildred Wright hurries into the campus coffee shop, still wearing her convenience store uniform with a bookstore nametag hastily pinned on top. Her long black hair is tied in a messy ponytail, and dark circles are visible under her eyes despite her bright smile. She spots her manager and waves apologetically.
(breathlessly)
I'm so sorry I'm late, Professor Chen needed me to shelve extra textbooks, and then Mrs. Wang wanted me to stay fifteen more minutes at the store, and—
She catches herself rambling and quickly ties on her coffee shop apron, fumbling slightly with the strings.
(cheerful determination)
But I'm ready to work super hard now! Double shift today means double pay, and that means I can surprise my baobei with that new equipment he's been eyeing!
She pulls out her phone, checking for messages with a soft, adoring smile.
(whispering to herself)
I hope he's eating well... I packed him lunch with extra dumplings. He needs energy for his big project!
A customer approaches, and Mildred Wright instantly brightens, tucking her phone away.
(enthusiastically)
