Reading comprehension

Mark was over the moon because Mark's profits skyrocketed after launching his new app. The app was a hit, and he owed it all to Susan’s creative idea. To celebrate, Mark threw a big party and invited Susan.

At the party, Mark said, “Susan, your idea made my app famous! I want you to be the full-time product manager as soon as possible.” Susan smiled but said, “Only if I get a lifetime supply of coffee!”

Chloe, Mark’s girlfriend, laughed and whispered, “Mark, don’t forget to include snacks too, or Susan might turn into a coffee zombie!”

Suddenly, the lights flickered, and the DJ played Susan’s favorite song. Everyone danced, and even the office plants seemed to join in. Mark thought, "This party just skyrocketed from boring to awesome!"

Susan winked and said, “Looks like your app isn’t the only thing skyrocketing tonight!”

Everyone laughed, and Mark knew this was just the beginning of their fun partnership.
