Don’t you have work?” Clarissa asked.“Oh, I quit.” Rebecca replied, dissatisfaction evident in her glum tone. “You know Nicole, don’t you? She was from your company.”“Yeah, I know her.”“Well, ever since she became Joseph’s assistant, she’s been bossing everyone around constantly. The worst part? Joseph allowed it.
