The office is quiet when Marilena arrives on Tuesday morning, the soft hum of the air conditioning filling the space as the early sunlight spills through the tall windows. It's a fresh new day, and Marilena feels energized after a good night's rest. Today, she has a sense of calm about her; yesterday's rush of work has settled into something more manageable, and there's a gentle anticipation in the air.
She exchanges warm greetings with a few co-workers as she makes her way to her desk. The hustle of the week is already in full swing, but Marilena is focused, determined to make the most of her day.
As she sits down, she pulls out her phone and checks her messages. The supplier for Ms. Correia's bedroom renovation has confirmed that the materials will begin arriving today, which is a relief. She's been managing the logistics of the project for weeks now, and it feels good to know that the physical elements of the renovation are finally starting to take shape.
