“Oh, who cares, Snow. Since when do you take ‘no’ for an answer?” Sandy asks. “You’re one of my top sellers and a real go-getter, and you’re up for promotion. I know it’s been a rough year for you, with your mom’s illness and all, but if you can just land this sale, you’ll prove to the whole company that you’ve got what it takes, and we will fast track you up the ladder to a much better position. More money, more opportunities, more international.”
