Martin left the office with a spring in his step.
For once, Martin left before the people under him instead of staying until the very end. All it took was a smile, a few encouraging words, and one simple instruction to keep doing what they were already doing.
Telling them they were the best people for the task felt more satisfying than it probably should have.
The fresh sunset air waiting outside only made it better.
Do I need more from life? Hell nah! I can work, leave earlier, then grind until midnight. I even start my shift later than usual! Haha!
Martin stopped by his usual bakery and picked up a few donuts, which tasted far better than cigarettes ever could. He washed them down with Coke because today deserved sugar, caffeine, and zero regrets.
His excitement for the night rose with every step.
At last, it was time for the expansion.
