Clara stood near the wide glass window of her top-floor office, watching the morning fog clear over the bustling city. As a senior architect at the firm, she had spent years building a reputation for precise and innovative urban designs. Today, however, she felt a slight nervous flicker in her chest because a new project partner was arriving. The firm had recently secured a contract to transform an abandoned industrial lot into a vibrant botanical park. To accomplish this ambitious goal, the management had hired Julian, an acclaimed landscape designer from out of town. Clara took a quick sip from her herbal tea and adjusted her woven linen jacket before heading toward the main conference room. When she opened the door, Julian was already standing by the whiteboard, sketching a rough outline of a shaded pathway. You must be Clara, he said, turning around with a warm, confident smile. It is a pleasure to finally meet you, Julian, she replied, shaking his hand politely. Their initial greeting was polite and strictly professional, marked by the formal distance typical of new colleagues.
