Waiters moved quietly between wealthy guests carrying silver trays of drinks. Executives laughed near the reception desk, discussing sales figures, investments, and weekend trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was the kind of place where everyone seemed to know exactly how much they were worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then an old man walked through the glass doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He looked completely out of place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His coat was long, gray, and visibly worn. The edges were frayed, and one of the buttons had been replaced with a piece of dark thread. His shoes were old, his hands rough, and a long silver-gray beard covered most of his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several people noticed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some looked away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others stared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One woman whispered something to her husband, who glanced at the old man&#8217;s clothes and quietly laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old man didn&#8217;t seem to notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His eyes were fixed on a silver-and-black Mercedes-Benz S-Class standing beneath a spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He slowly approached it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For several seconds, he simply stood there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He looked at the car the way someone might look at an old photograph of a person they loved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then he reached out and gently touched the Mercedes emblem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A young salesman named Daniel Carter noticed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel was twenty-eight years old and had been working at the dealership for almost three years. Unlike most of the other salespeople, he didn&#8217;t judge customers by their clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He walked over with a warm smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Beautiful, isn&#8217;t it?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old man smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It certainly is.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel nodded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Would you like to take a closer look?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old man hesitated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Would that be all right?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel looked genuinely surprised by the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Of course.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He walked around the vehicle and opened the front passenger door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Please.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old man looked at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Thank you, son.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You&#8217;re welcome.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old man slowly lowered himself into the seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He ran his fingers across the leather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Very comfortable.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It is.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old man looked up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Do you know what I like most about expensive cars?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel laughed softly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The engine?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;No.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The technology?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;No.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The comfort?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old man shook his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It&#8217;s what they make people believe.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel raised an eyebrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;What do you mean?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old man smiled mysteriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;They make people believe that owning something expensive makes them more important than everyone standing around them.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel didn&#8217;t know what to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before he could answer, a sharp voice came from behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Daniel.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The young salesman turned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel Grant was approaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel was the dealership&#8217;s general manager. He was in his early forties, perfectly dressed in an expensive black suit, with a silver watch visible beneath his cuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His magnetic name badge read:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SAMUEL GRANT \u2014 GENERAL MANAGER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He stopped several feet away and looked at the elderly man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His expression changed immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;What&#8217;s going on?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel stood up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;m showing him the S-Class.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel looked at the old man from head to toe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then he looked back at Daniel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Why?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel frowned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Because he asked to see it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel gave a small, humorless laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Daniel, seriously?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old man quietly stepped out of the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;He isn&#8217;t buying anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel&#8217;s expression hardened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You don&#8217;t know that.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I know exactly what I&#8217;m looking at.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old man remained silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel pointed toward the other side of the showroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;If he wants to look around, he can look around.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The words hung in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several people nearby suddenly became very interested in their champagne glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel glanced at the elderly man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old man&#8217;s face was calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost too

slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;None.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel tried to interrupt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Sir, I can explain\u2014&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;No.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The single word stopped him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore looked at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You fired a good employee because he showed kindness to an old man.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel looked at the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You assumed I was poor.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I\u2014&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You assumed I couldn&#8217;t buy the car.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel said nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore stepped closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You were right about one thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel looked up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I wasn&#8217;t there to buy a car.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel&#8217;s face showed relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then Mr. Whitmore continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I was there to decide whether I should buy the dealership.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Richard looked shocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;What?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore nodded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve been considering purchasing the remaining shares from the investment group.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Richard&#8217;s mouth opened slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;And?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;After today, I&#8217;ve made my decision.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel looked frightened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore turned toward Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I want Samuel removed from management immediately.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel&#8217;s face drained of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Sir, please\u2014&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Not because you insulted me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel looked confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Because of what you did to Daniel.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel lowered his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Daniel?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore reached into his coat again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This time he pulled out a folded document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Richard looked at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;What is that?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The reason I came here.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He unfolded the paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was a letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the top was a name:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Daniel Carter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Richard looked confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Five years ago, my wife passed away.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The room became quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;She was receiving treatment at a hospital across town. One night, I was sitting alone in the parking lot. I had lost my wallet. My phone was dead. I was exhausted.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He looked at the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;A young man stopped to help me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Richard listened carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;He didn&#8217;t know who I was. He didn&#8217;t ask.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;He gave me his own phone so I could call my family.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel slowly looked up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;That was Daniel.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore nodded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone stood silently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;He didn&#8217;t know I was a wealthy man. He didn&#8217;t know I owned businesses. He didn&#8217;t know my name.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He paused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;He simply saw an old man who needed help.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Richard looked toward the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;That&#8217;s why you came today.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Exactly.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore turned to Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I wanted to know if Daniel had changed.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A faint smile appeared on his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;He hadn&#8217;t.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He looked at Samuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;But apparently this place had.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Richard immediately pulled out his phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;ll call security.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore raised his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Not yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel looked confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Why?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Because there&#8217;s one more thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He turned toward the employee entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Bring Daniel back.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Richard nodded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Minutes later, Daniel returned to the showroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He looked uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I was told the dealer principal wanted to see me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore walked toward him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel looked surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel looked at Richard, then Samuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;What&#8217;s happening?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore extended his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel shook it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I owe you an apology.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel frowned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;For what?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;For letting you think your kindness cost you your job.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel didn&#8217;t understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore turned to Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Effective today, Daniel Carter is no longer a salesman.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel&#8217;s eyes widened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel smiled nervously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then Mr. Whitmore continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;He&#8217;s the new customer experience director.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel stared at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;What?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You will oversee training, customer relations, and employee conduct.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel shook his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You understand people.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He pointed toward the luxury cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;That&#8217;s more valuable than understanding cars.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel&#8217;s eyes filled with tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what to say.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Say yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel laughed through his tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone applauded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even some of the employees who had been silent earlier smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel stood alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His position was gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Mr. Whitmore wasn&#8217;t finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He looked at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Samuel.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Yes, sir.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You have two choices.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel listened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You can walk out today and spend the next few years telling people that an old man ruined your career.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel swallowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Or you can stay.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel looked surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Stay?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore nodded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;But not as manager.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuel&#8217;s face fell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You&#8217;ll work in customer service.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;What?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Six months.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Whitmore continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You will greet every customer who enters this building.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Every customer?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Every one.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He looked directly into Samuel&#8217;s eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Rich.
