JJ stood in front of the multiple coffee machines, his hands shaking and his eyes watering. "You're all like my children...how can I ever seperate you? Espresso, Filter, my dear Turkish..." He smiles, sniffling.
Sanem frowns, stopping behind him on her way to Jeni. "JJ? What happened?" she asks, putting down the files and rushing to check.
"How can you even ask that?! What happened?! You don't even know what's going on, do you? Do you understand how dire this situation is?"
"But everything looks okay?" Sanem looks around the office in question.
"I want to slap you so hard Sanem..." She stares at him. "Our last day here's finally arrived. We're both fired."
"What happened now?"
"We're getting the results of the evaluation today Sanem! We lost a lot of points. Why? Because of hygiene, and because we have 'no place to relax' for the employees...
Who is responsible for hygiene around here hm?"
"I - "
"And what does that mean? Huh?! Is a mouse running havoc under our feet hygiene?!" Sanem frowns. Didn't I tell Ayhan to set it free? "There was a mouse - no! A hamster! That's not hygienic Sanem!"
"Did I forget to phone Ayhan?" She couldn't remember much except crying yesterday.
"Who's Ayhan?! And what does she have to do with what we're talking about?! I was responsible for the relaxation space, you for hygiene. We both failed. We're fired Sanem! Oh my God, this is my worst nightmare..." JJ stares ahead of him at the coffee machines. "What am I going to do? I'll have to go back to my hometown...I can't."
"Where are you from?"
"You ask the stupidest questions at the worst times Sanem!" he snaps, then turning to touch the coffee machine.
"JJ, uhm, why don't you take a small break and I'll make the coffee? Hm?"
"Will you? There's a meeting in five minutes and I don't have the strength..." He stands back, still breathing fast. "I'm going to wash my face...and find some ice for my head... I feel a migraine coming..." He mumbles. "Maybe I'll just shove myself in the freezer entirely."
Sanem sighs as he walks away, still mumbling. She smiles, unsure if she should laugh or not then gets to work on the coffees, hoping that Metin wouldn't mind waiting for a bit.

Can stood against the side wall as Deren briefed everyone on the week's agenda, playing with his moonstones.
"Please print the schedule out when we're done and get a copy to everyone."
"Yes Miss Deren," Guliz nods and closes her notebook.
"Can, if you'd like, we can look at it again later. If you want to change - "
Can shakes his head. "No, it's fine the way it is." He was still beyond pissed about what Deren did to Sanem and to the company. Deren nods. No one missed the irritated tone in his voice, but they kept quiet. "Rather show me the ideas for the companies we still have to get to work on." Right away, files are being held out to him and people start talking at the same time. He picks one, looking at Anir. "What's this one?"
"It's for the Mercedes campaign."
"Right, and how - " Can pauses, his eyes catching on Sanem entering with a tray.
Deren turns around to look at what he was looking at. Behind her Sanem is handing out cups of coffee with a smile.
Can's eyes slide over to Deren, seeing a slight narrowing of her eyes at the girl. He did his best to listen to Anir explaining, his eyes going to Sanem every now and then while she moves through.
