L’aire del matí estava fresc, i les fulles caigudes dibuixaven catifes grogues i taronges als carrers de Barcelona.

The morning air was fresh, and the fallen leaves painted yellow and orange carpets on the streets of Barcelona.

L’oficina multinacional, situada al centre de la ciutat, bullia d’activitat.

Els raigs de llum entraven pels finestrals, il·luminant el modern espai on els ordinadors no paraven de sonar.

Entre els empleats, Laia i Pau eren figures conegudes, però per raons molt diferents.

Among the employees, Laia and Pau were well-known figures, but for very different reasons.

Laia era una especialista en màrqueting ambiciosa.

Laia was an ambitious marketing specialist.

Cada dia, treballava més hores de les que necessitava, sempre cercant el reconeixement del seu cap, en Joan.

Every day, she worked more hours than she needed to, always seeking recognition from her boss, Joan.

Volia el nou ascens, i estava disposada a fer el que calgués per aconseguir-lo.

She wanted the new promotion and was willing to do whatever it took to get it.

Pau, en canvi, era un dissenyador creatiu.

Pau, on the other hand, was a creative designer.

Tenia talent, però sovint subestimava les seves habilitats.

He was talented but often underestimated his abilities.

Creia que no estava a l’altura.

He believed he wasn't up to the mark.

Amb l'ascens a prop, el despatx es va convertir en una cursa.

With the promotion close, the office turned into a race.

La reputació de Laia la posava en posició preferida.

Laia's reputation put her in the favored position.

Però una setmana abans de la decisió, Pau va presentar una idea brillant.

But a week before the decision, Pau presented a brilliant idea.

Una campanya diferent, fresca.

A different, fresh campaign.

Potser la seva casualitat era la seva força.

Perhaps his spontaneity was his strength.

Laia va veure l’idea de Pau.

Laia saw Pau's idea.

La va inquietar.

It unsettled her.

Començava a dubtar de si mateixa.

She began to doubt herself.

Però, en lloc de veure’l com un enemic, va prendre una decisió inesperada.

But instead of seeing him as an enemy, she made an unexpected decision.

"Pau, treballem junts", va proposar ella, amb la veu ferma però amable.

"Pau, let's work together," she proposed, with a firm but kind voice.

Pau va acceptar amb un somriure, sentint per primer cop que valia la pena lluitar pel seu talent.

Pau accepted with a smile, feeling for the first time that it was worth fighting for his talent.

Tots dos van començar a col·laborar.

Both began to collaborate.

L’oficina es va tornar el seu escenari de creativitat.

The office became their stage of creativity.

A poc a poc, van combinar les seves forces.

Slowly, they combined their strengths.

Laia va aportar l’estratègia i la estructura, i Pau, l’enginy i el disseny.

Laia brought strategy and structure, and Pau, ingenuity and design.

La seva presentació final fou un èxit, impactant directament als directius.

En Joan, que sempre havia buscat la millor idea, va quedar impressionat.

Joan, who had always sought the best idea, was impressed.

Va decidir premiar-los a tots dos.

Laia i Pau van rebre nous rols: Laia com a directora del departament de màrqueting, i Pau com a cap de disseny creatiu.

Laia and Pau received new roles: Laia as the director of the marketing department, and Pau as the head of creative design.

A poc a poc, mentre les fulles continuaven caient als carrers, Laia va entendre el poder de la col·laboració i Pau va començar a creure en la seva pròpia vàlua.

Gradually, as the leaves continued to fall on the streets, Laia understood the power of collaboration, and Pau began to believe in his own worth.

I així, tots dos, en una oficina plena de vida al cor de Barcelona, havien avançat, no sols en la seva carrera, sinó també en el seu creixement personal.

And so, both, in an office full of life at the heart of Barcelona, had advanced not only in their careers but also in their personal growth.
