Millie was aware she had been crucial for her Boss’s success. As he didn’t reward her, didn’t even admit it, she took this year’s leave to prove her worth.
Her boss called her, frequently, digging for insights, but she, aware of what he was doing, (since she knew he couldn’t manage without her) would make a cryptic remarks, then claim she couldn’t hear him, and shut off the phone.She wouldn’t answer his calls for two or three days, then, repeat her performance.
