Story Transcript:

Sl: Listje je padalo na ulice Ljubljane, barvito in prekrilo ceste s toplimi odtenki oranžne in rdeče.
En: The leaves were falling onto the streets of Ljubljana, colorful and covering the roads with warm shades of orange and red.

Sl: V podzemni krčmi ob nabrežju Ljubljanice je bila poker igra v polnem teku.
En: In an underground tavern by the banks of the Ljubljanica, a poker game was in full swing.

Sl: Alenka, Borut in Matej so sedeli za težko leseno mizo, obkroženi z debelimi dimnimi oblaki in strašljivimi dekoracijami za noč čarovnic.
En: Alenka, Borut, and Matej sat at the heavy wooden table, surrounded by thick clouds of smoke and spooky Halloween decorations.

Sl: Alenka je sedela z izrazom odločnosti.
En: Alenka sat with a look of determination.

Sl: Pogosto neopažena, je zdaj opazovala vsak potez igralcev, upajoč, da bo znova pridobila izgubljeni denar.
En: Often unnoticed, she was now observing every move of the players, hoping to regain the lost money.

Sl: Borut je sebično mrmral skozi zmage in gledal izpod klobuka v temo, medtem ko je Matej, novi član mize, s hladnim in premišljenim obrazom spremljal vsak krog.
En: Borut selfishly murmured through his victories, glancing from under his hat into the darkness, while Matej, the new member of the table, watched each round with a cold and thoughtful expression.

Sl: Ko so karte letele po mizi, je postajalo jasno, da je nekaj narobe.
En: As the cards flew across the table, it became clear that something was wrong.

Sl: Alenka je čakala na Asa pik, odločilno karto v njenem kompletu, vendar je karta izginila.
En: Alenka was waiting for the Ace of Spades, a decisive card in her hand, but the card had disappeared.

Sl: Bila je prepričana, da jo je imela v svoji roki pred nekaj trenutki.
En: She was sure she had it in her hand just moments ago.

Sl: Nikomur ni želela razkriti sumničenj, zato se je odločila raziskati skrivnost sama.
En: Not wanting to reveal her suspicions to anyone, she decided to investigate the mystery herself.

Sl: Sum ji je padel na Mateja, ki ji je bil nenavadno poznan, vendar iz drugega konca mesta.
En: Her suspicion fell on Matej, who seemed oddly familiar, but from another part of the city.

Sl: Mislila je na pretekla srečanja, ko je Matej nenadoma dvignil svojo stavo.
En: She thought back to past encounters when Matej suddenly raised his bet.

Sl: Alenka je vedela, da nekaj skriva.
En: Alenka knew he was hiding something.

Sl: Potiho je prestavljala in opazovala vsak premik.
En: Quietly, she maneuvered and watched every move.

Sl: Borut je deloval samozavestno, a njegovo vedenje je izdalo, da skriva nekaj več kot le karte.
En: Borut acted confidently, but his behavior betrayed that he was hiding more than just cards.

Sl: Alenka je nenadoma zagledala Matejevo dolgo roko, ki je pod mizo metala kartico Borutu.
En: Alenka suddenly caught sight of Matej's long arm, tossing a card under the table to Borut.

Sl: En sam hip in vse je bilo jasno: skrivna naveza med Borutom in Matejem.
En: In an instant, everything was clear: a secret alliance between Borut and Matej.

Sl: Alenka ni razkrila skrivnosti naglas.
En: Alenka didn't reveal the secret aloud.

Sl: Svojo novo vednost je obdržala zase in taktno začela igrati proti obema.
En: She kept her newfound knowledge to herself and began playing...

Sl: Mateja je sedela za svojo mizo in gledala skozi velika okna sodobne pisarne.
En: Mateja was sitting at her desk, looking through the large windows of the modern office.

Sl: Jesen je prinesla mehke rjave in oranžne barve na drevesa, ki so obkrožala mestno središče.
En: Autumn had brought soft brown and orange hues to the trees surrounding the city center.

Sl: Njene misli so bile osredotočene na težaven projekt, ki je moral biti dokončan pred nočjo čarovnic.
En: Her thoughts were focused on a challenging project that had to be completed before Halloween.

Sl: Rok, nov v ekipi in s svežim žarom v očeh, je delal tiho na drugem koncu mize.
En: Rok, new to the team and with a fresh gleam in his eyes, was working quietly at the other end of the table.

Sl: Mateja si ni mogla kaj, da ga ne bi občasno opazovala.
En: Mateja couldn't help but occasionally observe him.

Sl: "Kako napreduje delo?
En: "How is the work progressing?"

Sl: " je vprašal Rok in prekinil tišino.
En: Rok asked, breaking the silence.

Sl: "Dobro, mislim," je odgovorila Mateja in pogledala svoj ekran.
En: "Good, I think," Mateja replied, looking at her screen.

Sl: Bila je zaskrbljena zaradi vsega, kar je morala še narediti.
En: She was worried about everything she still had to accomplish.

Sl: Nina je medtem prišla iz svoje kabine.
En: Nina meanwhile came out of her cubicle.

Sl: "Zdrav, Rok!
En: "Hi, Rok!

Sl: Kako ti je pri nas?
En: How do you like it here?"

Sl: " je rekla z nasmehom.
En: she said with a smile.

Sl: Vedno je bila tista, ki je spodbujala prijateljstvo in podporo med sodelavci.
En: She was always the one encouraging friendship and support among colleagues.

Sl: "Všeč mi je vzdušje," je dejal Rok, medtem ko je vstajal od svoje mize in si privoščil kratek odmor.
En: "I like the atmosphere," Rok said as he got up from his desk to take a short break.

Sl: "Ljudje so prijazni.
En: "The people are friendly."

Sl: ""Pazi na Matejo," je Nina rekla pol v šali, pol za res.
En: "Watch out for Mateja," Nina said, half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Sl: "Trdo dela, a rabi tudi malo zabave.
En: "She works hard but needs a little fun too."

Sl: "Mateja je zardela.
En: Mateja blushed.

Sl: Vedela je, da ima Nina prav.
En: She knew Nina was right.

Sl: Bil je izziv najti ravnovesje med delom in osebnim življenjem.
En: It was a challenge to find a balance between work and personal life.

Sl: Še posebej zdaj, ko je bil projekt vedno bližje zaključku.
En: Especially now, as the project was nearing completion.

Sl: Večeri so postali dolgi, ko sta Mateja in Rok pozno v noč delala skupaj.
En: Evenings grew long as Mateja and Rok worked late into the night together.

Sl: Bližala se je noč čarovnic in pisarna je bila okrašena s pajčevinami in majhnimi bučami.
En: Halloween was approaching, and the office was decorated with cobwebs and small pumpkins.

Sl: Rok je vedno našel način, da je Matejo spravil v smeh, četudi je bila napetost zaradi projekta velika.
En: Rok always found a way to make Mateja laugh, even though the tension from the project was high.

Sl: "Te zanima, kaj rada počnem v prostem času?
En: "Are you interested in what I like to do in my free time?"

Sl: " je rok nekega večera vprašal Matejo med...

Story Transcript:

Sl: V ličnem, modernem pisarniškem prostoru s steklenimi pregradami in moderno pohištvo je vladala prijetna jesenska vzdušje.
En: In a sleek, modern office space with glass partitions and contemporary furniture, a pleasant autumnal atmosphere prevailed.

Sl: Sobotan zrak je skozi odprto okno prinašal svežino jesenskih listov, mešanih s sladkostjo bučne začimbe iz avtomata v kotičku za kavo.
En: The Saturday air brought in the freshness of autumn leaves through the open window, mixed with the sweetness of pumpkin spice from the coffee corner machine.

Sl: Na mizah so bile razporejene preproste, a igrive okrasitve za noč čarovnic - male buče, neti iz papirja in oranžne girlande.
En: On the tables were simple yet playful Halloween decorations — small pumpkins, paper bats, and orange garlands.

Sl: Anja, polna energije, se je pripravljala na jutranje srečanje.
En: Anja, full of energy, was preparing for the morning meeting.

Sl: Kot izvršna direktorica kadrovske službe je imela danes poseben cilj.
En: As the executive director of human resources, she had a special goal today.

Sl: Želela je prepričati sodelavce o novi, vendar dragi kolektivni zdravstveni zavarovalni polici, ki bi izboljšala skrb za zaposlene.
En: She wanted to convince her colleagues of a new, yet expensive, collective health insurance policy that would improve employee care.

Sl: Njeni strahovi pa so bili trdno zaklenjeni v reakciji finančnega oddelka, ki je predlog zavrnilo kot predrag.
En: Her fears, however, were firmly locked in the reaction of the finance department, which rejected the proposal as too costly.

Sl: Miran, vljuden vodja projektov, je sedel ob njej in se nasmehnil Anji.
En: Miran, the polite project manager, sat next to her and smiled at Anja.

Sl: Njegove misli pa niso sledile številkam.
En: But his thoughts weren't following the numbers.

Sl: V resnici je v mislih skiciral prizor iz svojih poznih nočnih fantazij.
En: In reality, he was mentally sketching a scene from his late-night fantasies.

Sl: Miran si je skrivaj želel postati slikar, medtem ko vsakodnevno premaguje izzive v pisarni.
En: Miran secretly wanted to become a painter while daily overcoming challenges in the office.

Sl: Na drugi strani mize je sedel Tomaž, zadolžen za IT podporo.
En: On the other side of the table sat Tomaž, in charge of IT support.

Sl: Bil je nov, a poznan po dobrem humorju.
En: He was new but known for his good humor.

Sl: Danes je bil nekoliko zmeden, saj je želel pustiti dober vtis med srečanjem.
En: Today he was a bit flustered as he wanted to make a good impression during the meeting.

Sl: Ko se je srečanje začelo, je Anja samozavestno predstavila nov predlog zavarovanja.
En: As the meeting began, Anja confidently presented the new insurance proposal.

Sl: Vsi so poslušali, preučevali podatke, a hitro je postalo jasno, da skeptici z naklonjenostjo občutijo njeno idejo kot preveliko finančno breme.
En: Everyone listened, examined the data, but it quickly became clear that the skeptics sensed her idea as an excessive financial burden.

Sl: Anja se je soočila z resnico; čas je bil za drugačno taktiko.
En: Anja faced the truth; it was time for a different tactic.

Sl: "Danes je noč čarovnic," je rekla Anja s sijočimi očmi, "mogoče nam malo zabave lahko pomaga pogledati stvari iz druge perspektive.
En: "It's...

En: Inside, she found allergy pills she had brought just in case.

Sl: "Miha, potrebuješ to," je rekla potihoma, a odločno.
En: "Miha, you need this," she said quietly but firmly.

Sl: Zakaj je moralo do tega priti prav zdaj, na tako lepem dnevu?
En: Why did this have to happen right now, on such a beautiful day?

Sl: Kljub zaskrbljenosti se je spomnila tečaja prve pomoči.
En: Despite her concern, she recalled her first aid course.

Sl: Dala je Miha tableto in ga pomagala umiriti.
En: She gave Miha the pill and helped him calm down.

Sl: “Diši počasi, globoko,” je usmerjala.
