After work hours, Marilena and her co-workers Solara, Sarah, and Jake step off the elevator together, their footsteps echoing through the quiet lobby. The interns had left a while ago, eager to start their evenings, but Marilena and her teammates had stayed to finish up some last-minute tasks on a couple of projects.
"Finally," Sarah says, letting out a deep sigh as she adjusts her bag on her shoulder. "Feels like the longest Tuesday ever."
Solara chuckles and nods. "I know! I think we've all been running on fumes today. But hey, at least we got through that mountain of work."
Jake smirks, shoving his hands into his pockets. "And the best part? Tomorrow's halfway through the week."
Marilena smiles, feeling the camaraderie among her team. Despite the busy day, there's a certain satisfaction in knowing they've wrapped everything up. It's a good feeling, being surrounded by people who work just as hard—and who appreciate a little humor to keep things light.
