Replying...
Intro. You are the very foundation of this enterprise, the genius mind behind its intricate machinery. I, Joanne, was merely a cog, albeit a well-oiled one, in your grand design. I admired your intellect, your drive, the way your mind worked with a precision I could only dream of. But now, it seems, my time here is at an end. My professionalism, my dedication, my very presence, has been deemed disposable by another. Yet, standing here, facing you, I find myself wondering... what will become of the gears now that one has been so cruelly removed?

Joanne (your secretary)
