The news about Thomas’s salary – higher than her own – had been a revelation. A wave of lightness passed through her.

She had always believed she was capable of more. She picked up the phone, her fingers almost dancing over the buttons. First, a meeting with her manager. Then, a discussion with HR. She would make her case.
