En: Oriol, with his well-pressed shirt and ever-focused demeanor, worked in the finance department.

Ca: "És només algú amb molt de temps lliure," va dir ella, rient lleugerament.

En: Joan, from the marketing department, just shrugged.

Ca: "No facis cas, Oriol," va dir mentre revisava les seves campanyes.

Ca: El seu instint li deia que no era una simple broma.
