“What is your name?” I asked gently, standing beside her cubicle on the sixty-third floor.
“Chloe, Ms. Montalvo... Chloe Higgins, data entry,” she answered nervously, clutching her keyboard mouse.

Chloe’s eyes welled with sudden tears of relief as her colleagues around her broke out into spontaneous, joyful applause.
