Chapter 32

Up on the tenth floor, my Master makes me welcome in his office. "Hello, Elizabeth. I just wanted a quick chat. Coffee?"

"Thanks, yes, I'd love one."

He rings through a request to Francis then returns his attention to me. "I have a meeting tomorrow. A very important meeting with potential clients who, if we can get the deal, will be worth a great deal of money to the company."

"Okay." I nod attentively.

What does this have to do with me?

"I would like you to sit in on the meeting."

Oh!

"You have already proved that you have an eye for detail with your work in the procurement section. It may have been an unpleasant little episode, but it saved the company a lot of money. Tomorrow, I want you to sit in as secretary to the meeting and take the minutes."
