"Magda, come in. What seems to be the problem?" She invited the cleaning lady inside the room and offered her to sit on the empty chair before her desk.
She could see the slight hesitation in her eyes as she thought of how to broach the topic with her. But it was clear that something was heavily weighing on her shoulders. She could tell that there was a problem.
If she could help strangers with her pro bono cases, how could she turn her back on her employees who had worked for her father for as long as she could remember? Especially Magda, who had been loyal to her father.
"Well, I don't have much to offer, and I know you are a very busy person and a soon-to-be mother. So I know I should not be bothering you." She paused, still slightly shy to continue as her face looked down on her lap where she was playing with her fingers.
Thanks
