Love in Bloom's
“At Griffin, McDougal, associates never called meetings. They didn’t have the clout. If they wanted a meeting, they had to ask a partner to call one. It was a rigid hierarchical process, and Julia had always resented it, even though she herself had never had any reason to call a meeting. She’d thought the rule was silly, and she’d muttered that if ever she were in charge, she’d do away with such nonsense.
But here she was, the president of Bloom’s, calling a meeting. She was in charge. Authority... pulsed through her, intoxicating and scary. What if everyone resented her the way she’d resented the partners who called meetings at Griffin, McDougal?
She had hoped Adam would be able to come down from Cornell for her meeting, partly because he was a math whiz—Myron Finkel still seemed to prefer his sixties-era adding machine to a calculator, so someone with a more modern approach to crunching numbers might offer a desperately needed perspective—but mostly for moral support, because he was family and Bloom’s was a family matter.MoreLess
