A secretary is told to use the freight elevator instead of the main one, a small humiliation that becomes the spark for a much bigger move. When she ends up buying the building itself, the office hierarchy she was pushed to the bottom of is turned upside down, and the people who dismissed her must reckon with who really holds the power.
I've been by Mr. Romano's side for years. So what? Now apologize and disappear. Oh my god.
Clara really is Mr. Romano's woman. No wonder he spoils her. I knew it. Some nights I came back late and saw him
getting cozy in the office. That's hilarious. Hilarious. This rookie picked the wrong woman to mess with. Clara! This is the house! Stop talking nonsense!
Clara didn't notice his face. She even lifted her wrist and pouted. How am I talking nonsense? You gave me this birthday gift two days ago. If she knows, why keep hiding it? Julian lost control.
Are you out of your mind? Shut up! Get out! Come back when you've remembered your place. Mr. Romano! Why are you afraid of her?
You're the associate underbore here. Who dares say one word against you? I smiled and turned to Vivian. My voice stayed calm. Vivian, effective immediately revoke every authority delegated to Julian Ramassa. Remove him from all syndicate operations. Then he won't be associate underboss
Let's see who she'll hide behind after that. The hallway exploded, especially Clara. She pointed at me. Who the hell do you think you are? You can't remove Mr. Romano.
Are you out of your mind? Julian's face turned bloodless. Then he slapped Clara across the face. Shut up!
Didn't I tell you to shut up? He walked toward me. Darling, you have to believe me. There's nothing between me and Clara.
