Waiting for Sunrise
“His secretary—a middle-aged woman named Mary Ann Dexter—stood on the opposite side, fists planted on ample hips. “I don’t know how in this world you expect to succeed in business with a mess such as this.” She shook her head. Gilbert swallowed a smile while he wondered if she used an entire can of hair spray in the mornings before showing up promptly at eight o’clock.

Gilbert spread his hands over the clutter. “I don’t know, Miss Mary Ann,” he said with a smile. “Somehow I just make it work.”
She leaned over and made a show of picking up files and slapping them into new stacks. “No, what you’re doing is making it into work for me. More work, I might add. I deserve a raise if I ever deserved a raise.”
