The team gathered in a cramped, fluorescent-lit conference room, the only sound the hum of the vending machine in the corner.
A frazzled project manager stood at the front of the room, a cup of cold coffee clutched in her hand.
"Okay, let's get down to business," she said, her voice like a chainsaw. "We need to find out who paid for coffee last Friday..."
A murmur ran through the room as the team members exchanged guilty glances.
"I thought it was free," said one team member, her voice trembling.
"Free?!" exclaimed the project manager, her eyes wide with incredulity. "You think this is a free coffee shop?!"
As the team continued to argue, the door burst open, and a harried intern stumbled in, holding a large cardboard box.
"Guys, I brought donuts," she said, beaming.
