Songs fill the air on the third floor long before work hours begin, as Porsha's colleagues sing her a surprise birthday song.

* * *As Joe takes off his neck tie, he keeps staring at himself in the mirror, looking deep into his eyes as though peering into the very depths of his soul. He sees not just who his is, but the contrast between who he wanted to be and who he has become. He is unsure whether to feel satisfied. He is supposed to after all, he finally got what he always wanted— self-made success. But he wonders if this sense of completeness he has worked so hard to achieve has in itself created more room for emptiness; or maybe is just so filling that every sense of additional satisfaction has gone numb.

* * *The curtains are wide open and the mild rays of the morning sun start to seep into the office. It is Saturday already. And it is almost as though the place is wearing a new look. The silvery drapes are perfectly complementing the plain white walls as well as the dark grey floor. And the green aesthetic palm leaves in the large brown vase are looking especially beautiful.
