"Who knows? I just hope they're not firing us." Elizabeth replied. "This is the one job that I absolutely love. I cannot imagine having to search for a new job again."

"Tell me about it." Samantha agreed. "We get paid to read book ideas and help future writers succeed."

Beverly West, the CEO of Bloomburg Publishing, walked to the stage and stood behind the podium. "I'm sure many of you are curious as to why I called you to this room." Almost every employee nodded their head. "Don't look so nervous. Nobody is getting fired." She joked. Everyone let out a sigh of relief. "I have great news. The company has decided to open an office in London, United Kingdom. We have helped many writers find success with their stories here in New York City, so why don't we provide our help for the London writers as well? We're giving you the opportunity to transfer to the London office. It's not mandatory. The choice is yours. Anyone who is interested to transfer should get in touch with Lyla Jensen. She's in charge of hiring employees and also deals with employees wanting to transfer work locations. Her email address is lylajengmail.com .You have two weeks to decide."
