Sabrina had only wished to bargain her way into an increment of two thousands, so it was entirely beyond her expectation that she was offered five thousands instead. But in truth, she would prefer a less toxic environment if she was to stay.
"I accept, Director. But I have a condition," she said. "I n o longer wish to work for Linda, I want to be her supervisor. Anything she does will have to go through me. Is that something you can arrange?"
It wasn't that Sabrina wanted to bully Linda. She realized as soon as she entered the company on the very first day that Linda was brilliant in her designs when she was reviewing Linda's blueprints, though she approached designing with a style that differed from Sabrina.
Sabrina was aware that the only way to grow was to absorb whatever experience she could from others, and the best way to do so was to ensure that she had access to all of Linda's designs.
"I can take back my request for the ten thousand," seeing that the Director was remaining silent, Sabrina added, "if we are going to be colleagues, it would have been normal for me to help, so there wouldn't be a need for remuneration."
"Yes, yes, that would be wonderful. I will arrange for Linda to be your assistant from today onwards," the
Director immediately agreed.
"Okay, thank you." Satisfied, Sabrina switched to a more humble tone. "Well then...should I go back to work? Do I head back to the same workstation?"
"No, you are one of the head designers now, so you need to exchange work stations with Linda. You can g o on ahead and take your seat at Linda's station first. I'll need to contact Human Resources to give them a heads up, I will head over later to have everything sorted out for you."
