A knock on the door. The door opens and in comes my boss. I didn’t even get a chance to say come in. “Listen, I need to talk to you for a minute” he says looking sternly as he closes the door behind him. “There have been some rumours about you and Dee lately and I just wanted to confirm something before I make a mistake”, he takes a seat across from me. I gulp.
The boss came back not too long ago after a visit at one of our sister offices. He only arrived in the office yesterday but it seems within a day the rumours had spread already. “I’ve been told you two been working later on some of the projects together” he says as he stares intently at me. I just nodded. I mean if he knows there is no point in denying it.
“When I heard about that I took some time to look at Dee’s sales records and they are the highest of this office. I had no idea you were mentoring her. One of the reasons I was out was because our current sales manager is transferring to our sister office. Which means I have nobody to take on that role. After seeing how you mentored Dee into performing the way she does I thought you might be interested to be in charge of the whole team. What do you say?”.
