making you paranoid.” He marched over, turned her around by her shoulders and directed her back toward the door. “This discussion is over. Just trust me on this one. Now get back to work, and try not to stress yourself out too much.”
    â€œBut—”
    â€œNo buts. Just do me a favor and try to get along with Ramell.”
    â€œI don’t know if—”
    â€œThat’s all. Thanks,” he said, pushing her out the door and then closing it behind her.
    â€œHow rude.” Sofia huffed and stormed off toward her office.
    Sarah glanced up from her desk and caught the look on Sofia’s face. Instantly she was on her feet, anticipating a list of duties to be rattled off to her.
    â€œIn my office,” Sofia barked, breezing past her assistant so fast that a small gust of wind ruffled the stacks of papers on Sarah’s desk.
    â€œYes, ma’am. Right away.” Sarah grabbed her iPad and rushed in right behind her boss. When they enteredthe office Sofia seemed content to just pace in a circle. It wasn’t just a regular oh, I’m trying to think kind of pace. No. Sofia Wellesley looked more like a dangerous wild animal plotting her next attack.
    â€œIs everything all right?” Sarah asked, backing up. If Sofia was going to pounce she didn’t want to get too close.
    Suddenly, uncharacteristically, Sofia stopped pacing and began to smile. “Sarah!”
    â€œYes, ma’am?” Sarah asked, taking another cautionary step backward.
    With her smile still abnormally wide, Sofia walked over to her assistant and linked her arm through hers. “How do you feel about taking a vacation?”
    â€œExcuse me?”
    â€œYou heard me. I want you to leave. Take the rest of the month off.”
    â€œA month?” Frowning, her assistant’s brows started to stitch together.
    â€œYes, a month.” Sofia insisted as she brightened. “You deserve it. How long have you been working for me?”
    Sarah shrugged and stammered, “Um—five years.”
    â€œFive years,” Sofia repeated. “And you get what—two weeks vacation a year?”
    â€œWell, actually I haven’t actually had a vacation in three years.”
    â€œThree years?”
    â€œWe both haven’t,” she reminded Sofia.
    â€œHumph.” She frowned at that for a moment. “Well there’s no time like the present, don’t you think?” Sofiastarted out, directing Sarah back to her desk. “Now you grab your things and I’ll just see you next month.”
    â€œWhat? You mean leave right now?” Sarah double-checked.
    â€œAbsolutely.”
    Sarah stopped and dug her heels in. “Okay,” she said tentatively. “Am I being fired? Did I do something wrong?”
    â€œNo,” Sofia reassured her. “It just occurred to me that I’ve been working you too hard. Your family lives in New York, right?”
    â€œY-yes. But—”
    â€œThen it’s a perfect time for you to go drop in for a visit.” Back out at Sarah’s desk, Sofia helped the girl by grabbing her purse and leather laptop bags. “Oh, and I need to change your computer pass code.” Sofia rushed around to her assistant’s computer and started keying in numbers.
    Sarah’s eyes glossed over. “Are you sure I’m not being fired? Whatever I did wrong, I can fix it.”
    â€œYou’re not being fired. You have my word on that.” Sofia popped back up and started escorting her toward the door. “Go. Have a good time. I want you nice and refreshed when you come back.”
    â€œUm. Okay,” Sarah said. What else could she say? But Sofia didn’t just walk her to the door, she walked her all the way to her Honda Hybrid and even stood in the parking lot and waved goodbye.
    When Sofia returned to her office, she couldn’t help but dance around her office like she’d just scored the final
