Ja estàs preparat per la reunió?"En: Núria, seated at a small table near the window, looked up and said, "Hey, Jordi! Are you ready for the meeting?"Ca: Ell es va asseure i va sospirar lleugerament.En: He sat down and sighed slightly.Ca: "Núria, estic preocupat. No sé si tinc prou experiència per a la promoció. Necessito impressionar el cap."En: "Núria, I'm worried. I don't know if I have enough experience for the promotion. I need to impress the boss."Ca: Núria va fer un glop del seu cafè abans de respondre.En: Núria took a sip of her cafè before replying.Ca: "Jordi, tu tens moltes habilitats. Només has de destacar el que et fa únic."En: "Jordi, you have many skills. You just need to highlight what makes you unique."Ca: Ell va mirar per la finestra, contemplant el moviment constant de La Rambla.En: He looked out the window, contemplating the constant movement of La Rambla.Ca: "Però, Núria, has sentit rumors sobre qui més es presenta? Creus que tinc alguna oportunitat?"En: "But, Núria, have you heard any rumors about who else is applying? Do you think I have any chance?"Ca: Núria va engolir amb dificultat, dubtant si revelar el seu propi interès en el mateix lloc.En: Núria swallowed hard, hesitating to reveal her own interest in the same position.Ca: Finalment, va dir: "Jordi, jo també estic considerant presentar-me. Ho sento per no haver-te-ho dit abans."En: Finally, she said, "Jordi, I'm also considering applying. I'm sorry for not telling you before."Ca: Hi hagué un moment de silenciosa tensió.En: There was a moment of silent tension.Ca: Els ulls de Jordi es van obrir una mica més, sorprès i, alhora, fent un esforç per mantenir la seva calma.En: Jordi's eyes widened slightly, surprised, yet making an effort to maintain his composure.Ca: "Ben fet, Núria. Sempre he sabut que eres molt capaç. Però... això significa que competirem?"En: "Well done, Núria. I always knew you were very capable. But... does this mean we'll be competing?"Ca: Núria va assentir lentament, temerosa que la seva amistat trontollés.En: Núria nodded slowly, fearful that their friendship would falter.Ca: "Sí, però no vull que això canviï la nostra relació."En: "Yes, but I don't want this to change our relationship."Ca: Jordi es va recolzar a la cadira i va respirar profundament.En: Jordi leaned back in the chair and took a deep breath.Ca: "Necessitem un pacte. Passi qui passi, ens recolzarem un a l'altre. L'amistat és més important."En: "We need a pact. No matter what happens, we'll support each other. Friendship is more important."Ca: Amb un nus a la gola, però un somriure d'agraïment, Núria va assentir.En: With a lump in her throat but a grateful smile, Núria nodded.Ca: "D'acord, Jordi. Som valents."En: "Alright, Jordi. We're brave."Ca: Un sentiment de relleu va superar-los i, com una petita celebració d'aquesta nova comprensió, van brindar amb les seves tasses.En: A sense of relief washed over them, and as a small celebration of this new understanding, they toasted with their cups.Ca: Les flors sobre la taula ballaven al ritme del vent.En: The flowers on the table danced to the rhythm of the wind.Ca: A mesura que la tarda avançava, entre xerrades i rialles, el cafè continuava bategant.En: As the afternoon progressed, amid talks and laughter, the cafè continued to pulse with life.Ca: Jordi i Núria van trobar un nou equilibri.En: Jordi and Núria found a new balance.Ca: Amb la seva conversa van aprendre que, més enllà de la promoció, cadascun tenia quelcom preciós: l'un a l'altre.En: Through their conversation, they learned that beyond the promotion, they each had something precious: each other.Ca: La vida a La Rambla continuava, però ells es sentien més forts, junts, davant qualsevol repte.En: Life on La Rambla continued, but they felt stronger, together, against any challenge.
