I led him upstairs. I felt restless, but I sat, and he did, too. He cleared his throat. “The fact is we won’t need your services any longer. Things are moving to the next level.”
“What level is that?”

My guess is the reason you lost your job is you stood up to him—because I also know you speak your mind.” It was a more balanced view than many people had been willing to give it. “The fact is—and this hasn’t changed since when we first talked—now more than ever, since the litigation I’m working on is just about wrapped up, I can’t risk any sort of scandal over Michelle’s being gone.”MoreLess
