wait, you gave her what key? why? and why wasn't i in the loop on this?

she just asked for the key to 520--

alana, there is a certain level of responsibility that comes with being entrusted with the spare office keys. you are expected to demonstrate that you are able to exercise a certain level of independent judgement. namely, that all decisions should be run through me. now, why wasn't i cc'd on this conversation?

um, it was in person.

i didn't ask for excuses! i should always be cc'd. there is no way those little brats are going to sit around picking their noses in the corner office. if anything, that should be me!

i'm sorry, nina, i didn't--

hmmm. actually, you know what? i'm sorry. why don't you take my duetto card and go get us both a caramel macchiatto. come back, and you and me will have a little strategy session. what do you say, alana? sound good, hmm?

um, that sounds fine, i guess.

good girl. i can't believe, i didn't even notice what adorable shoes you're wearing.
