Quite Meaning

One chilly autumn morning, Emma found herself sitting in a small café, nursing a cup of tea. She was quite sure she needed a break from her hectic schedule, and this quiet corner seemed perfect for the occasion. As she sipped the warm beverage, her thoughts wandered. She was quite proud of the work she’d been doing at the office, even though it had been a bit overwhelming lately. As she reflected on her recent success, Emma noticed a familiar face entering the café. It was Sarah, a colleague from the creative team. Sarah smiled and waved enthusiastically. ‘Emma, I didn’t expect to see you here!’ ‘Well, I thought I’d enjoy a quiet morning alone,’ Emma replied, though she was quite happy to see her friend. ‘Oh, I get it,’ Sarah said, sliding into the seat across from her. ‘I’ve been feeling quite drained too. I could use a break from all the stress.’ Their conversation soon turned to work. Sarah mentioned how the team’s latest project had been progressing and how some things were quite challenging. ‘Honestly, the client’s expectations are quite high,’ she said, rolling her eyes. ‘But we’re getting there, I think.’ Emma nodded sympathetically. ‘I’ve been dealing with a similar situation. But at least we’re making progress.’ She took another sip of tea and then added, ‘By the way, I’m quite certain we’ll finish our tasks on time, so don’t worry about it too much.’ Later, after their coffee, Emma and Sarah walked out of the café together. Emma smiled, feeling quite content after the chat. Despite the challenges at work, she was in a good place. The day was sunny, and the air was cool, but not too cold. Quite pleasant, really. As they parted ways, Sarah called out, ‘Let’s do this again soon, okay? It was quite nice to catch up.’ Emma waved goodbye, feeling quite refreshed as she headed back to her busy day.
