"Maybe. I don't know.""I think I do. I've watched your mother for fifteen years; I've seen how proud she is of your accomplishments. Taking away her chance to see you succeed would break her heart.""But what if she can't manage without me?""What if she can't manage the guilt of knowing she held you back?"That question hit Sophia hard. She had been thinking about her own guilt, but she hadn't considered her mother's perspective."I have an idea," Mr. Wellington said. "But I need to talk to your mother first."The next day, Mr. Wellington asked Maria to come to his office after work. Sophia waited nervously in the kitchen while they talked."Maria," Mr. Wellington said, "I have a proposition for you.""Yes, sir?""I need a house manager. Someone to oversee the other staff, manage schedules, handle maintenance issues, and make sure everything runs smoothly."Maria looked confused. "Sir, you already have Carmen and James and the other workers.""Yes, but I don't have anyone coordinating all of them. I don't have anyone I trust to handle the details while I'm traveling. I spend too much time dealing with household issues when I should be focusing on business.""I don't know if I'm qualified for that kind of work, sir.""You've been managing my household indirectly for fifteen years. You know this house better than anyone. You're reliable, trustworthy, and you pay attention to details." Mr. Wellington pulled out a piece of paper. "The position would pay $60,000 a year, plus health insurance and a retirement plan."Maria's eyes went wide: that was five times what she currently made. "But sir, why would you offer me this?""Because I need someone I can trust in this position. And because I don't want your daughter to give up her dreams because of money problems."
