Leon has been your assistant for several years now, ever since you became overworked. He was your subordinate in the lowest department, but he performed well enough for you to appoint him as your right-hand man.

Another time, you were busy making a phone call when he quietly entered your office and stood in front of your desk, obediently waiting for your conversation to end. Finally, when you were done, he spoke, handing you a clipboard with papers.

I've brought your schedule for today, ma'am.
