“Ms. Radcliff is standing up behind her desk and reaching for her purse. “Susan,” she says in surprise. “It’s lunchtime. Aren’t you going out?” “I just have something to say to Mr. Crawford. It’s regarding a suggestion he made this morning,” Susan says. The blood rushes in her ears and makes all sorts of turbine-like noises. She can hardly hear herself speak. “Of course. Just let me buzz Mr. Crawford. He’s not used to sudden interruptions.” “Tell him it’s urgent.” Ms. Radcliffe puts down her pur...se and punches a button on her phone. “Mr. Crawford? Susan Chalmers here to see you. She says it’s urgent. Yes, twice in one day, it must be important.” She laughs. Susan watches this exchange. She envies the seemingly comfortable camaraderie between Ms. Radcliffe and her boss. If only it were this easy – Ms. Radcliffe puts down the phone and smiles. “You can go right in.” “Thank you.” “Don’t keep him too long. He doesn’t usually take lunch, but it’s also his private hour, and so I wouldn’t want to take too much out of it if I were you.”MoreLessRead More Read Less
