The stale coffee didn't taste as bad for Emily. She took a sip and felt a surge of energy. Even the fluorescent lights seemed to glow differently. She felt as though she could conquer the world.

She saw the office as an arena. She had no fear. She knew that her rival, John, would probably win the promotion. She felt a moment of sadness, but then it passed. She had given it her best, and that was all that mattered.

She approached her boss's office and was told that she was wanted inside. She took a deep breath. She smiled. She knew what was coming, but she was ok with it.
