"Ruth, they only allocated you this Buick Regal, which is clearly unfair. Is this Herman Holloway's idea, or someone else's?" Yusuf Zuck knew that Ruth Wilcox couldn't possibly be unaware of what car was assigned to her, so he couldn't help but ask while driving.
"Mr. Holloway is the general manager of the hotel; he's in charge of everything, so of course it's his idea. Of course..." Ruth's tone shifted mid-sentence, "Since he's responsible for the overall operations, he also needs to consider the feelings of others. I was fast-tracked into the company, and the other two vice presidents, even some of the middle management, would feel disgruntled, so Herman's arrangement serves as a pacifier for the vice presidents and a warning to me."
"Herman Holloway is really a master at playing the game," Yusuf Zuck commented with a curl of his lip.
