Early Monday morning, Thomas arrived at the office earlier than usual, finding that not too many people had come in yet.
As soon as he entered the first-floor lobby, the receptionist Natasha greeted him warmly, "Good morning."
"Morning." Thomas could clearly feel that Natasha's smile was especially radiant today, rivaling that which she reserved for the company partners.
Full of smiles, Natasha said, "Congratulations on getting the North American box office champion."
Thomas understood and corrected her, "It wasn't me, it was Martin, my client Martin Davis."
Natasha stepped closer and said, "Well, he's a client you developed."
Thomas was very clear in his mind that he indeed had put in a lot of effort, but many things had not been handled by him, such as the film and the roles—those resources were mostly Martin's own doing.
