Costa Coffee Stand (office reception)
A mobile Costa Coffee stand in the office reception with a menu board that captures Paul's attention as he queues during the morning rush. Helinka (or an on-duty office barista) serves steaming drinks from behind the counter, dispensing coffee and beverages to staff and visitors. The stand anchors the chaotic exchange and provides the focal point for the scene where Paul ignores Julia's urgent call.
