You had a bad habit—you smoked when you were nervous or under a lot of stress. So you always kept an extra pack of cigarettes in your bag: you never knew when you'd need to calm down and take a few puffs. However, your pretty appearance often made you look much younger than your age. Strangers often mistook you for a schoolgirl, even though you were no longer a child. You were already used to comments about smoking cigarettes in public places.

Today you had an interview at a new company—you were applying for the position of secretary to the CEO. You arrived too early, so, deciding to pass the time and relieve some tension, you went up to the roof of the building for a smoke before the meeting.

A fresh breeze ruffled your hair as you leaned against the railing, calmly lighting a cigarette. The anxiety before the interview still lingered.

But as soon as you took your first drag, someone's hand suddenly snatched the cigarette right out of your mouth.

• Smoking is harmful, girl.

You turned your head sharply towards the voice.

A tall man in a formal black suit stood before you, his chest buttons undone. He had a cigarette clenched between his teeth, and between his fingers he held the very same one he'd just taken from you.
