En: Small lights adorned every corner, creating a warm and festive atmosphere.

Id: Di tengah malam musim panas itu, Rizky mengenakan kemeja batik terbarunya, bersiap menghadiri pesta Natal kantor pertamanya di pulau ini.
En: In the middle of that summer night, Rizky put on his newest batik shirt, getting ready to attend his first office Christmas party on the island.

Id: Ia tahu, pesta ini adalah kesempatan emas untuk mengenal rekan kerja dan, terutama, membuat kesan baik pada Dewi, bosnya yang terkenal tegas namun adil.
En: He knew this party was a golden opportunity to get to know his coworkers and, most importantly, make a good impression on Dewi, his boss who was known for being strict yet fair.

Id: Ada proyek besar di kantor, dan Rizky sangat ingin ditunjuk untuk menanganinya.

Id: Namun, sebelum Rizky sempat berbicara, Wayan tiba-tiba datang.
En: However, before Rizky could speak, Wayan suddenly came over.

Id: Wayan, yang juga mengincar proyek itu, segera menyapa Dewi dan berbicara panjang lebar.
En: Wayan, who was also eyeing the project, immediately greeted Dewi and began a long conversation.

Id: Rizky terpaksa mundur selangkah, merasakan campuran rasa kecewa dan cemas.
