Question:
Stacey has worked for lawyer Larry for the last five years in his home office. Stacey does everything for Larry - receptionist, bookkeeper, secretary, paralegal, coffee girl, and sometimes even taking his laundry to the cleaners. Stacey is smart and very good with people, and indispensable to Larry's business. He sometimes took her to network functions where she mixed and mingled with potential clients and talked up her boss.
