Maya worked at a creative design company in the city. She had been there for six months. She loved her modern office space and her creative tasks. Today, she wore a comfortable blue cotton sweater. Her colleague, Leo, sat at the desk right next to her. Leo was friendly and always willing to help others. Maya often shared her design ideas with him. They worked very well together on every team project. However, Maya was usually shy about making friends after work. She almost always went straight home after her shift. Today was a warm and sunny Friday afternoon. The office grew quiet as the weekend approached. Maya finished editing her final presentation for the week. She stretched her arms and smiled with relief. Leo looked up from his bright computer screen. He hesitated for a brief moment before speaking. Maya noticed his slightly nervous expression. Hey Maya, do you have a minute? Leo asked softly. She turned her office chair toward him. Sure Leo, what is on your mind? she replied. Leo took a sip of water from his glass. He cleared his throat and smiled gently. I know a wonderful little café nearby, Leo said. They serve amazing organic coffee and fresh herbal teas.
