Instead of discarding extra food, she humbly asked to take it home — and her CEO decided to follow her. What he discovered transformed his perspective…

He had spent years at the top—private cars, first-class flights, executive lounges. The idea of taking the bus after working sixteen hours on your feet? He had never once experienced it. And that thought alone was enough to push him forward.

Michael climbed into his black sedan, but didn’t turn on the engine right away. He waited. Sophia stood under the flickering streetlight, arms crossed, shifting from foot to foot.

The bus was late. Finally, headlights appeared in the distance, and she stepped onto the bus, barely looking up. Michael tailed behind, careful to keep his distance.

He didn’t know exactly why he was doing this, just that something in his gut told him he had to. The bus ride was long. Longer than Michael anticipated.

Storefronts turned into boarded-up buildings. The city’s skyline disappeared in the rearview mirror, replaced by run-down houses, chain-link fences, and forgotten lots. Michael checked the time.
