A wave of heat washed over Michael as he sat in his cubicle, the air conditioning doing little to combat the summer afternoon. He’d just finished a successful quarter, landing the biggest client of his career. Now, the rumors were true. The company was being bought. He leaned back in his chair, fingers steepled beneath his chin.

The office buzz grew louder, a cacophony of worry and speculation. Michael ignored it. He was thinking of the comfortable routine that had developed, of the friends he had made, the stability he felt. A quiet smile played on his lips. This was a place where he thrived, and he was fortunate to have found such a place.

His stomach felt light. Regardless of what the future held, he had a good feeling about this. The sale could be a challenge, perhaps even an opportunity. Either way, his career felt secure, and he could count on the support of his team.
