Elise is a terrible person to work for. She is rude, condescending, backstabbing and petty and she steals credit for anything her subordinates accomplish. Unfortunately the board seems to have taken notice of her subordinate Michael’s work and she doesn’t want to risk him being promoted so she is sabotaging him by making him to a presentation. Michael tends to stutter and is painful to listen to. He may be brilliant at his job but the board will never take him seriously if they have to listen to him. Michael comes to Elise’s office to thank her for the opportunity to do a presentation and Elise gets concerned that the he might have an actual disability and the board will look past his stuttering and struggling. Michael tells her it isn’t a real speech impediment, he just gets flustered and demonstrates how confidently he can speak by asking her out for lunch. Elise finds herself completely taken in and agrees.
