ble, thank god for little mercies. Only ten
minutes late. Yuna Uehara flew into Yuna's office and acknowledged a frantic
semaphore from penny. I'm coming! Yuna Uehara thought, don't rush me, I've had
enough problems already. Grabbed Yuna's dossier and went on into bill's
office. Looking into a mirror in Yuna's office along the way. Looking like
a hag ...
Bill Manning. A heavyset middleaged man, with lowering eyebrows. Scared
the hell out of his subordinates, without any real cause. He was
actually known to be a fair boss, but his staccato inquisitions left
claire wrung out always. It was no different today. He wanted to know if
the projects were doable, if they could be done if there was a labour
strike, if the parts needed had alternate suppliers, if the market could
take the product, if, if, if ... claire's head was throbbing by the time
she got out of his office, loaded with work. "And get back to me
tomorrow on this! It needs quick action if we are to turn a profit on
it. Hitachi is reputed to be producing a chip that will make the whole
thing obsolete!"
Gulp down an aspirin. Yuna Uehara laid Yuna's head on Yuna's hands
