Ms. Thomas took her to the eighth floor, where the CEO's office and the offices of other upper executives were located.
The Montrose Corporation building was only ten floors high. It was a relatively new structure, built by Arthur Montrose when he became CEO, marking a new era for the corporation.
Everything about the building was sleek and modern, high-tech without feeling cold or uninviting. As she took it all in, Jessica Kwan found herself thinking that she could easily imagine working in a place like this.
She snapped out of her daydream.
Why would I even want to work here?
When they arrived on the eighth floor, Ms. Thomas asked her to wait in the reception area while she went to inform Mr. Arthur of her arrival.
Jessica noticed something interesting. The employees referred to their CEO as Mr. Arthur, not Mr. Montrose. Mr. Montrose, to them, clearly meant Maurice Montrose.
