Story Transcript:
Fr: C'était un mardi d'été, et le soleil brillait intensément à travers les grandes fenêtres de l'entreprise.
En: It was a summer Tuesday, and the sun was shining brightly through the large office windows.
Fr: Le bureau était moderne, avec des espaces de travail ouverts et des employés qui allaient et venaient pendant leur pause déjeuner.
En: The office was modern, with open workspaces and employees coming and going during their lunch breaks.
Fr: Luc, un jeune analyste ambitieux, regardait nerveusement l'horloge.
En: Luc, an ambitious young analyst, nervously watched the clock.
Fr: Une promotion importante était à l'horizon.
En: A significant promotion was on the horizon.
Fr: Il devait prouver sa valeur.
En: He had to prove his worth.
Fr: Mais aujourd'hui, Luc avait une mission différente.
En: But today, Luc had a different mission.
Fr: Un article en édition limitée venait d'être mis en vente en ligne, et il le voulait absolument.
En: A limited-edition item had just gone on sale online, and he absolutely wanted it.
Fr: Il savait que ces objets se vendaient en quelques minutes.
En: He knew these items sold out in minutes.
Fr: Il attendait ce moment depuis des semaines.
En: He had been waiting for this moment for weeks.
Fr: À côté de lui, Camille, sa collègue amicale, était absorbée par son propre travail.
En: Next to him, Camille, his friendly colleague, was absorbed in her work.
Fr: Elle aussi visait la même promotion.
En: She too was aiming for the same promotion.
Fr: Parfois, Luc voyait Camille comme une concurrente, mais aujourd'hui, il espérait passer inaperçu.
En: Sometimes, Luc saw Camille as a rival, but today, he hoped to go unnoticed.
Fr: Luc vérifia une dernière fois son plan.
En: Luc checked his plan one last time.
Fr: Il ouvrit son ordinateur portable, prêt à acheter l'objet tant convoité.
En: He opened his laptop, ready to buy the coveted item.
Fr: Mais l'Internet de bureau était lent.
En: But the office internet was slow.
Fr: Trop lent.
En: Too slow.
Fr: Le temps passa vite.
En: Time was passing quickly.
Fr: Il lui restait seulement vingt minutes pour finir sa pause déjeuner.
En: He had only twenty minutes left of his lunch break.
Fr: Le stress monta.
En: Stress mounted.
Fr: Il prit une décision risquée.
En: He made a risky decision.
Fr: Il sortit discrètement son téléphone et activa le partage de connexion.
En: He discreetly took out his phone and activated the mobile hotspot.
Fr: Une entorse aux règles de l'entreprise, mais c'était son seul espoir.
En: A breach of company rules, but it was his only hope.
Fr: Ses doigts tapaient rapidement sur le clavier.
En: His fingers quickly typed on the keyboard.
Fr: La page de paiement s'ouvrit enfin.
En: The payment page finally opened.
Fr: Juste à ce moment-là, Camille se leva et se dirigea vers lui.
En: Just then, Camille stood up and walked towards him.
Fr: Luc essaya de cacher l'écran, mais Camille vit d’un coup d’œil ce qu’il faisait.
En: Luc tried to hide the screen, but Camille caught a glimpse of what he was doing.
Fr: Elle fronça les sourcils, puis sourit.
En: She frowned, then smiled.
Fr: "Ne t'inquiète pas, Luc," murmura-t-elle.
En: "Don't worry, Luc," she whispered.
Fr: "Je vais couvrir ton poste pendant dix minutes.
En: "I'll cover your spot for ten minutes.
Fr: Va dehors et finis ton achat."
En: Go outside and finish your purchase."
Fr: Luc, surpris et reconnaissant, prit son téléphone et se précipita vers la sortie.
En: Luc, surprised and grateful, took his phone and hurried to the exit.
Fr: Dehors, il put enfin finaliser son achat, grâce à la connexion de son portable.
En: Outside, he was finally able to complete his purchase, thanks to his mobile connection.
Fr: Il revint au bureau, soulagé et heureux de l'avoir fait à temps.
En: He returned to the office, relieved and happy to have done it in time.
Fr: Camille l'attendait, un sourire complice sur les lèvres.
En: Camille was waiting for him, a knowing smile on her lips.
Fr: "Merci, Camille.
En: "Thank you, Camille.
Fr: Je ne savais pas que..." "Ne t'en fais pas," coupa-t-elle.
En: I didn't know that..." "Don't worry," she interrupted.
Fr: "On est collègues avant tout."
En: "We’re colleagues above all."
Fr: À ce moment-là, Luc réalisa que Camille était plus qu’une concurrente.
En: At that moment, Luc realized that Camille was more than just a competitor.
Fr: Son soutien et sa coopération valaient bien plus qu'une simple lutte pour une promotion.
En: Her support and cooperation were worth far more than a mere struggle for a promotion.
Fr: Il retourna à son travail, plus déterminé que jamais, mais avec une nouvelle appréciation pour ses collègues.
En: He returned to his work, more determined than ever, but with a new appreciation for his colleagues.
Fr: Et dans l'ombre de ce bureau moderne, une nouvelle amitié se forgea, au-delà des rivalités professionnelles.
En: And in the shadow of that modern office, a new friendship was forged, beyond professional rivalries.
