You’ve saved us, Margaret. This client means millions to us. Margaret closed her briefcase.
Then I suggest you remember the value of experience. The deal was signed, the client kept and Margaret’s new office was ready within a week. It was bigger than Daniel’s old corner suite with a view of the city and a mahogany desk that gleamed under the afternoon sun.
Her first official act as senior consultant was to reorganize the administrative system without telling Ashley a single detail.
If the young director wanted to learn, she could earn it. One afternoon, as Margaret was leaving for the day, she saw Kelsey at the elevator with a cardboard box.
Her desk plant peeked out of the top. Ashley’s voice rang out from her office, shrill and panicked. Kelsey, how could you misplace the Perkins deposition? Do you realize? Margaret walked past just in time to see Ashley’s flushed, stressed face.
She paused, tilting her head with a look of pure satisfaction. Oh, Ashley, she said sweetly, still struggling to keep up? Ashley opened her mouth, but no words came out. Margaret stepped into the elevator, the doors closing slowly as she delivered her parting gift, a small, knowing smirk that said, you brought this on yourself.
