Betty
walked into the office at seven thirty in the morning ready to email the reports
to Mr. Quinn. She searched her desk for the reports when she heard noise coming
from Mr. Quinn’s office. She entered the office to find Mr. Quinn at his desk.
“Good
morning, Mr. Quinn, did you get the reports from Ms. Young?”
“Yes,
I did. Thank you.”
Betty
started to walk out of the office, but then turned around.
“Mr.
Quinn, I need to tell you something.”
“What
is it?” He said sounding irritated, he was not in the
mood for office gossip.
“Well,
the assignments you left on my desk for Ms. Young...”
“I
have them.” He replied as he looked up. “Is that all?
“No.
I wanted you to know that I did not see the Reynolds’s files until yesterday.
The folder was under a different pile of work. I gave them to Ms. Young
yesterday afternoon, I’m sorry, sir. I thought that I had gone through the pile
but I missed those assignments. Betty continued as she stumbled over her words.
“I don’t want you to be upset with Ms. Young…” He interrupted.
“Well,
the reports were handed in on time, so don’t worry about it, but going forward
we cannot have those kinds of slip-ups. You know the type of work we do here.
Everything is time sensitive and one missed deadline could cost this company
millions and could cost someone their job. Are we clear?”
“Yes
sir.” Betty responded.
“Is
there anything else, Mrs. Connors?” Betty shook her head and started to walk
out of the office. She knew he was angry because he only called her by last
name when he was truly upset with her.
“Mrs.
Connors, please tell Ms. Young I would like to see her when she gets in.”
“Yes
sir.” She exited the office closing
the door behind her.
‘So, Ms. Young, you were just given the
assignment yesterday afternoon.’ Ivan was truly impressed that she was able
to turn out such quality work in a short period of time. He could tell by their
first conversation that she was feisty and did not have a problem speaking her
mind. So why didn’t she take the opportunity to correct him when he chastised
her about taking this job seriously and questioning her competence? He still couldn’t get over the work she
produced. Maybe they could work together after all, if he could just keep his
hard-on in check for the sake of the company.
Stephanie
walked into the office and was immediately greeted by Betty.
“I
want to thank you again for yesterday. You did not have to do what you did and
I won’t forget it. If you need anything just ask.”
“Stop
Betty, its fine. We got the work done and no one’s the wiser.”
“Except
for Mr. Quinn,” Betty blurted out.
“What,
how did he find out? Was there a problem with the report?” Stephanie said nervously.
“He
knows because I told him. I could not let you take the blame for my mistake.”
“That
was not necessary Betty, I had it handled.”
“Well,
he is in his office and he would like to speak with you. Good luck.”
Stephanie
put here belongs away and knocked on Mr. Quinn’s door. “Come!”
She
walked into the office and took a seat in front of his desk. His head was down
reviewing documents. She spoke first.
“Betty
said you wanted to see me.” He looked up.
“Yes,
it seems I owe you an apology. I had an interesting conversation with Betty,
when I spoke with you last night you should have told me that you had just
received the assignment. I would not have expected you to complete it in such a
short time frame.” He waited for a response but there was none so he continued,
“With that being said, I was very impressed with your work. There were a few
changes but overall job well done.
