“It’s new, not listed in the phone directory yet. There is a nameplate by the elevator, but does that indicate it is a private elevator to their floor, or the agency uses all four?” We got to our feet simultaneously, but Royal went through the kitchen door first and up the stairs to my bedroom.

In other words, they placed employees in executive positions on a temporary basis, with the option of the employer taking them on permanently. Although they had their head office in Clarion, their employees worked throughout Utah. Temporary executive positions? Did the agency mean actual executives, or executive-type assistants? You would need exemplary qualifications to walk into a business and immediately take over an executive position. Why did they operate out of Clarion? Wouldn’t Salt Lake City or St. George be a better location?
