Listening

It was Monday morning at the office. Anna arrived early, carrying a cup of coffee. She saw David by the elevator. “Good morning, David! How was your weekend?” she asked with a smile. David replied, “Morning, Anna! It was relaxing. I went hiking with my family. How about you?” Anna laughed, “I stayed home and caught up on some sleep. By the way, are we still having the team meeting at 9?” David nodded, “Yes, in the big conference room. Don’t forget to bring the sales report.” As they walked to their desks, they greeted other coworkers: “Hi, Sarah! Morning, Tom!” Everyone exchanged friendly smiles, making the office feel warm and welcoming.
