Lullaby And Goodnight (2012)
“Prague?
It’s been a good half hour since her boss sprang that on her, yet Peyton still can’t seem to get past the sheer audacity.
Tara knows she can’t go to Czechoslovakia any time in the near future.
Naturally, she had no choice but to come right out and admit it. Tara shook her head and informed Peyton that she’ll keep that in mind when her evaluation comes up.
When she ran into a coworker in the ladies’ room, Peyton spilled the whole story to her. She was silent at first, and Peyton assumed ...she was thinking, Well, what did you expect? But she ultimately urged her to march straight in to Human Resources and report Tara.
That might be satisfying in the short run, but it doesn’t solve the problem at hand. If Peyton doesn’t go to Prague—which she simply cannot do—she’ll be proving she can’t handle the new position. She won’t be allowed to keep the promotion, with the lofty title, larger office, and pay raise that go with it.
Maybe I had no business agreeing to take over Alain’s position in the first place, she tells herself now.MoreLess
