The meeting concluded with a statement. “And, Sarah, you will be in charge of training the new hire.” Sarah swallowed hard, her mouth suddenly dry.

Her hands clenched into fists, hidden beneath the table. She felt a sudden, inexplicable anger. The words felt like a direct blow. It made her feel like all her dedication and expertise didn't matter.

She forced a smile and agreed. She would go through the motions. She would follow the instructions. But she would make sure her replacement knew. That she was taking her spot.
