The widow, the much younger second wife of the deceased Mr. Robinson, springs from her chair, wide eyed, smiling, head raised to the heavens and fists pumping in victory.
“It’s all mine now!” she shouts. “Who says being a secretary doesn’t pay!”
Others in the boardroom are taken aback at her display, with jaws agape and eyebrows raised. The attorney patiently watches the spectacle with a blank face and head cocked in bewilderment. Holding back a smirk he says, “Mrs. Robinson, please allow me to clarify…you do understand that the entire estate is going to his current secretary, don’t you?”
I love that it would make an excellent beginning to a longer story, especially when the lawyers got involved. However, wonderfully captured in excellent writing
