Story Transcript:
Sk: Ján sa prechádzal po chodbe korporátneho kancelárskeho priestoru v Bratislave.
En: Ján was walking down the hallway of the corporate office space in Bratislava.
Sk: Bolo ráno, vzduch bol svieži a vonku poletovali jesenné lístie.
En: It was morning, the air was fresh, and autumn leaves were fluttering outside.
Sk: V celom priestore panovala typická korporátna atmosféra — zvuky zvoniacich telefónov a klapajúcich kláves.
En: The entire space had the typical corporate atmosphere — the sounds of ringing phones and clacking keys.
Sk: Ján, projektový manažér, sa usadil pri svojom stole.
En: Ján, a project manager, settled at his desk.
Sk: Povedal si, že dnes je ten deň, kedy sa ukáže.
En: He told himself that today was the day when he would prove himself.
Sk: Jeho šéfka Lucia by ho konečne mohla oceniť.
En: His boss, Lucia, might finally appreciate him.
Sk: Vtom si spomenul na dôležitý dokument, potrebný na prezentáciu.
En: Then he remembered the important document needed for the presentation.
Sk: Ján pocítil vlnu paniky.
En: Ján felt a wave of panic.
Sk: Dokument bol preč.
En: The document was gone.
Sk: Rozhodol sa konať.
En: He decided to act.
Sk: Povedal si, že v panike nič nevyrieši.
En: He told himself that panic would solve nothing.
Sk: Rozhodol sa ísť po stope dokumentu.
En: He decided to trace the document.
Sk: Najprv zašiel za kolegami, či ho náhodou nevideli.
En: First, he went to his colleagues to see if any of them had seen it.
Sk: Každý len krútil hlavou.
En: Everyone just shook their heads.
Sk: Ján postupne kontroloval všetko, čo mu prišlo na um — vrátane bezpečnostných záznamov.
En: Ján gradually checked everything that came to mind — including security footage.
Sk: Marek, jeho kolega, zatiaľ vyzeral nezvyčajne kľudne.
En: Marek, his colleague, seemed unusually calm.
Sk: Ján si bol istý, že Marek vie viac, než prezrádza.
En: Ján was sure that Marek knew more than he was letting on.
Sk: Čas sa krátil a Ján musel konať rýchlo.
En: Time was running out, and Ján had to act swiftly.
Sk: Nakoniec našiel dôkaz — na záznamoch uvidel Mareka, ako vstupuje do zabudnutej miestnosti s obálkou veľmi podobnou tej, ktorá zmizla.
En: Finally, he found evidence — on the recordings, he saw Marek entering a forgotten room with an envelope very similar to the one that disappeared.
Sk: Ján si bol istý, že Marek si s dokumentom zahráva.
En: Ján was sure Marek was playing games with the document.
Sk: Bez váhania prešiel k Marekovmu stolu a energicky pobúchal na jeho monitor.
En: Without hesitation, he walked over to Marek's desk and knocked energetically on his monitor.
Sk: „Marek, musíme hovoriť,“ začal rozhodne Ján.
En: “Marek, we need to talk,” Ján began decisively.
Sk: Marek sa zľakol a povedal, že dokument len nechtiac zobral domov.
En: Marek was startled and said he had inadvertently taken the document home.
Sk: Len pár minút pred prezentáciou sa Jánovi podarilo dokument získať späť.
En: Just minutes before the presentation, Ján managed to get the document back.
Sk: Prezentácia prebehla bez zádrheľov a Lucia bola nadšená.
En: The presentation went off without a hitch, and Lucia was thrilled.
Sk: Pochválila Jána za jeho schopnosť riešiť problémy.
En: She
