pointed to a round oak work table. “You saw the ‘big wigs’ offices along the
wall with windows. This is the ‘wanna be wall,” I said. Offices for middle
managers like me, also known as ‘wanna-be’s, ‘are furnished with Millwood’s

food and special treatment. “Oh, this isn’t bad for a factory open house,” I
bragged, “but at trade shows, Millwood hosts receptions with caviar, raw
oysters, and champagne. Our customers are big spenders. If they’re considering
purchasing Millwood’s top shelf products to furnish 50 floors of a high rise,
you bet we wine and dine them before, during, and after the sale.” I paused,
allowing Claudia time to digest her lunch, and the opportunity Millwood
