The morning sun streamed through the office window, warming Elias’s face as he hummed along to the radio. He’d just poured himself a coffee, the aroma of the dark roast a delightful invitation to the day. Today was the day. His replacement. He'd been looking forward to this.

"Morning, Elias!" a voice chirped, snapping him back to the present. His manager, Ms. Davies, stood in the doorway, a friendly smile on her face. "Ready to show Maya the ropes?"

Elias grinned, adjusting his tie. "Born ready! Let's get this show on the road." He bounced on the balls of his feet, his hands itching to get started. This was going to be a fantastic day.
