The tense atmosphere dominated as Lucas carefully opened one document after another. The two men standing before him remained silent, frozen in place, their anxiety palpable. Their faces were tight with tension, their Adam’s apples bobbing nervously as they exchanged glances filled with apprehension, fearing they might make a critical mistake.Adam, who was usually calm, appeared restless, his hands fidgeting constantly. Meanwhile, Ryan, who was more expressive, showed clear signs of worry, his eyes never leaving the documents Lucas held.“Good.” That was all Lucas said, but it didn’t ease the tension in the hearts of his two friends. “You both did your jobs well.”Ryan and Adam's faces began to smile. They looked at each other, their eyes bright with disbelief that they had completed the task.Lucas nodded slightly toward his two friends, closing the files they had handed him earlier. “This work is perfect.”Now, both felt genuine relief and joy after receiving praise from Lucas. In

All eyes were on the monitor connected to Louis's chest, emitting beeping sounds that grew slower and suddenly stopped. The screen showed a flat line. Everyone present immediately turned their attention to the monitor, their faces turning panicked.“Louis.” Lucas’s voice softly called out his twin brother’s name. His body went weak, nearly collapsing if he hadn’t leaned against the wall for support.In that tense moment, a heavy silence enveloped the room. Everyone held their breath, hoping Louis's heart would start beating again. The sound of the defibrillator being pulled from Louis’s chest echoed loudly in their ears. The doctor, with all his focus, prepared to revive the threatened life.Lucas felt as if his own heart had also stopped beating. His body felt weak, but he tried to stand firm beside Louis, who was fighting for his life."Increase it again." The doctor ordered the nurse to raise the defibrillator to a higher level to restore Louis's heartbeat.The room's atmosphere wa

Adam took a moment to breathe. “Of course, there are always challenges. But I feel my team is solid, and we can handle it together. Communication is key.”“Hearing that makes me relieved. What about innovation? Are there any plans for new product development?” Ryan asked, intrigued.“Yes, we’re exploring several new ideas. If we continue to adapt, I believe we can compete well in the market." Adam looked confident, and his enthusiasm was clear.They continued their discussion, sharing insights on business strategies and their experiences. The relaxed atmosphere around them allowed for comfortable sharing of thoughts.“Since it’s the weekend, how about we go somewhere else to enjoy a nice lunch? There’s a new restaurant that just opened nearby,” Ryan suggested, showing a photo on his social media.Adam looked interested. “That’s a great idea. I’ve heard about that place. They say they have a unique menu.”“Yeah, we can try some of their special dishes,” Ryan added excitedly. “And maybe

When Adam heard Ryan's words, he looked at his friend in disbelief. He never expected Ryan to bring up such a matter so directly.Adam knew Ryan well and was always wary of his friend's tendency to move fast in situations like this. Now, there was nothing Adam could do but let Ryan pursue the woman they were both interested in—Jenny's beauty had also caught Adam's eye, even though it left him a little disappointed."So, what do you say?" Ryan raised an eyebrow, waiting for the woman's response. "We could just pretend to be a couple if you like.""Pretend to be a couple with you?" She seemed hesitant, furrowing her brow as she considered what might happen if she agreed to such a plan."Yeah, it would be a good way to fend off other guys." Ryan raised a hand, trying to convince Jenny that his idea was a great solution to get rid of the guy who had been bothering her earlier.Jenny paused for a moment, thinking about the idea, and after careful consideration, she smiled and nodded in agr

Lora stood in the field, her horse, Storm, ready beneath her. Carefully, she mounted the saddle, adjusting her posture. Her breathing felt heavy, a mix of excitement and tension.As Storm started running, Lora tried to draw her bow, but her body shook with the horse's movements. "Steady, Storm!" she called out, trying to control the horse. She gently stroked the golden-brown horse's back.When she released her shot, the arrow missed the target by a wide margin. Frustration began to cloud her thoughts. Every time Storm turned or jumped, Lora's balance wavered. She fell to the ground several times, feeling pain in her arms and back with each fall.But she got back up, brushing the dirt off her clothes. "I won't give up." She looked at the still-anxious horse.Lora began to understand the horse's rhythm after falling and getting back up a few times. With renewed determination, she resumed her practice. Though her body was tired and her hands ached, she could feel herself improving. Focus
