Musíš jej povedať, čo cítiš.“En: "It's time. You have to tell her what you feel."Sk: Matej vedel, že Jakub má pravdu, ale myšlienka na to, že by mal vyjadriť svoje city v tomto profesionálnom prostredí, ho desila.En: Matej knew that Jakub was right, but the thought of expressing his feelings in this professional environment scared him.Sk: Obával sa odmietnutia a toho, že by sa mohol strápniť pred všetkými kolegami.En: He feared rejection and the embarrassment of making a fool of himself in front of all his colleagues.Sk: Každý deň si Matej sľuboval, že to povie Lenke, ale vždy ho niečo zastavilo.En: Every day, Matej promised himself he would tell Lenka, but something always held him back.Sk: Blížil sa Valentín a s ním aj Matejove predsavzatie, že sa nejako pohne.En: Valentine's Day was approaching, along with Matej's resolution to make a move.Sk: Našišli sa, ako stáli na chodbe, Matejovu myseľ naplnili strach a obavy.En: As they found themselves standing in the hallway, Matej's mind was filled with fear and worries.Sk: „Lenka,“ povedal nakoniec, keď sa im skrížili cesty vo výťahu.En: "Lenka," he finally said when they crossed paths in the elevator.Sk: Jej šibalské oči na neho pozreli a on zistil, že viac už nemôže cúvnuť.En: Her playful eyes looked at him, and he realized he couldn't back down anymore.Sk: „Chcel by som ťa pozvať na obed... zajtra,“ dodal, jeho hlas slabý, ale rozhodný.En: "I'd like to invite you to lunch... tomorrow," he added, his voice weak but determined.Sk: Lenka sa usmiala.
