The silence in the office was deafening. But not for Mark. He tapped his pen against his desk, a rhythmic beat accompanying the tune in his head. His mind was racing, but not with worry, with an almost strange feeling of invigoration.

He reviewed his notes again, making a few last-minute changes, polishing each sentence. He felt an intense desire to get started. To win this. To prove himself.

He saw the others gathering for the meeting. He could almost feel the competition in the air, but somehow, he didn't care. He was going to be better. He was going to thrive. He was ready to conquer this.
