They have been friends for many years, but she did not know that her friend was the wife of Mr. Scrooge. Their friendship started when they were both working with the same designing company. The company closed down, she moved to another state and they lost touch for many years. One day by coincidence, they ran into each other. They talked for a while over lunch. Her friend indicated that she started her own designing company and has a staff of 10 workers, but she would like her to come and work for her. She told her she would think about it. It did not take her long to start working in her friend business as a supervisor. Her job was tedious, but it was worthwhile. She performed her tasks perfectly and was really impressed with the creations that were done by the designers. Their salary was always on time so there were no problems to get the workers to perform. They were the backbone of the company and they were phenomenal. The business was doing well, and she was happy to be one of the people who were instrumental in making it a success. Christmas was coming, and she did not think that they would have a problem. On the Thursday morning before Christmas, her friend called a staff meeting. She told them that they were all going to be paid on the first Friday in January. She looked at her friend and wondered if she was crazy. Most of the workers started to complain because they needed their money. Her friend looked angrily at them then she shouted, “What the hell do you all want me do!”
Everyone got very quiet, but they all looked angry. She was also upset because she knew that her friend had the funds to pay the staff…
