Several weeks had passed since that day in the restaurant, and no amount of phone calls, instant messages, or e-mails could convince Dorothy’s friends to forgive her. To make matters worse, Dorothy had begun to feel the pressure of work and longed to share her challenges with her closest confidantes and friends. The right opportunity had not presented itself for her to confront Wendy, but Dorothy was confident it would not be long until she was able to slay the witch.

Dorothy arrived at work early one morning, when most of her co-workers were only just getting out of bed. She passed by Wendy West’s office. Usually it was locked, but this morning the cleaning crew had opened the office to empty the waste bins. As chance would have it, the crew had stepped away momentarily, providing Dorothy with the perfect opportunity to sneak in and look through Wendy’s drawers for the digital voice recorder. She expected the recorder to be hidden and difficult to find, but to her pleasant surprise, she found it sitting innocently in the unlocked second drawer of the desk. Briskly, Dorothy left the office and headed to her own, realising that she would need to act fast, before Wendy noticed it was missing.

Sitting in her office, Dorothy scanned through the hours of dictation Wendy had recorded until she found what she was looking for: the original recording of what Dorothy had really said about her friends. Dorothy had a management meeting that day at 11:00 a.m., and Wendy would also be attending. The meeting would provide Dorothy with her chance to bring Wendy down.

Dorothy arrived at the meeting early, as she most often did, and set herself up in the boardroom one seat to the right of the head of the table. She set up her laptop to look as though she were making last-minute changes to a document. She instead made a Web conference call to include Trent, Scott Crow, Tim Woods, and Catherine Lyons. She set her laptop microphone volume to high, muted her speaker volume, and just prayed that her friends would be at their desks at the crucial time to accept her Web conference request, so they could witness the event that was about to unfold.

Dorothy knew that Wendy was also usually early to meetings. Dorothy also knew that Wendy’s motive was not to arrive early to be polite or ensure she was prepared, but rather simply to be sure to secure her position at the head of the table to assist her assert her dominance during the meeting. While sitting there waiting, Dorothy tumbled the digital voice recorder around in her hand in her jacket pocket.

As if on cue, Wendy entered the room and sat at the table next to Dorothy. Without a minute to spare, Dorothy pressed play on Wendy’s digital voice recorder and sat it in front of Wendy.

Without flinching, Wendy snapped, “You have stolen my property. That is grounds for dismissal.”

“So, this is your recorder, is it, Wendy?” asked Dorothy.
