    approached Mr. Thornbeck's office door, pausing a moment before knocking softly on the heavy door. "Come on in, it’s open," she heard his deep, masculine voice and she meekly opened the door. Mr. Thornbeck was sitting at his large ornate desk shuffling some papers and documents, his desktop unusually crowded with files and paperwork. He looked up and just said, "Hello, Miss Roberts. Please, come on in. Why aren't you at lunch?" "Well, Sir, I wanted to talk to you about something," she said. "What can I help you with?" he asked, setting the papers down on the desk. Ashley stepped into the office and approached his desk. She sat down in the chair in front of it, not waiting for the offer to take a seat. "Mr. Thornbeck, I wanted to talk to you about Bob's leaving and the vacancy that he will leave in our company," Ashley said. "I see. What exactly do you want to talk about?" Mr. Thornbeck asked. “Mr. Thornbeck, I love my position as receptionist and I love being Susan's assistant, but I feel now that I can handle being a realtor myself," Ashley said, afraid she may have been too bold. "You mean you want to fill Bob's position as a realtor?" Mr. Thornbeck asked, although he already understood what Ashley was driving at. "Well I was going to place an ad in the paper calling for applicants to send in their resumes."

"I know I'm young and you don't think I'm experienced enough, but I learn fast and I love my profession. I would do anything to become a realtor here with the company," Ashley said, sounding desperate. She didn't want to continue working as an assistant anymore... she wanted to move up the corporate ladder and become a fully licensed and practicing realtor. She just wanted this job and she was going to do all she could to get it. But it seemed that he was reluctant to give her the job. "Well, it’s a rather stressful job, you know Ashley. An assistant isn’t responsible for anything, he just handles minor issues and if something goes wrong, the realtor is to blame," Mr. Thornbeck said, "Also as a receptionist you are getting paid a fixed salary. My realtors work on commission. Which means if they don't sell, they don't get paid. "However, I'll tell you what... I will think about it, but you must remember that this is my company and I have worked hard to make it what it is. My realtors are accountable to me and that means that whoever fills this position will have to be on really good terms with me, as well," he added and smiled. "Well, I deal with people very well. I am very patient and hard-working, as you know, Mr. Thornbeck," Ashley ...
