She glanced around her office. The corner office. The window with a view. These were the fruits of her dedication, her long hours, her loyalty to the firm.

Laura decided to clear her desk, to make it look spick and span. She reached for the phone. "David, can you come in here for a moment? I want to tell you about that new client, and I am going to share some strategies and tips that should really benefit your performance."
