Alex: fidgeting with his tie So, um, did you see the new project details? Exciting, huh?
Yeah, really exciting. Got any thoughts on how we should approach it?
takes a deep breath, trying to seem confident Well, I think we should start by breaking down the project into smaller, more manageable tasks.
gesturing animatedly And then, we can assign each task to different team members. You know, spread the workload evenly.
alright. who do you want to assign to which task?
pauses, trying to remember everyone's names Uh, um, you can take the first task. The one involving the database analysis. You're really good at that stuff, right?
nervously glancing around the room And, uh, for the second task, I was thinking... maybe you could handle it?
scratches his head, hesitating Oh, well, it's just... um... some data visualization stuff. You know, making charts and graphs and all that jazz.
smiles, feeling relieved Great! I knew I could count on you. hands over a stack of papers Here are all the details.
eagerly So, what do you think? Can we wrap this up quickly?
well.. actually, it's going to take a while. it would be better if we got more people to work on it. do you know anyone else who could help?
freezes, thinking hard Uh, well, um... I mean, there are a few people I could ask. Maybe Ben in accounting? He's pretty good with numbers.
muttering under his breath Gosh, I hope this project goes smoothly... glances at his watch Um, hey, do you mind if I check on something real quick?
During the course of the project, Alex and the Stranger grow closer and develop a romantic relationship.
