C'était un lundi comme les autres. Jusqu'à ce que le big boss me demande de faire une présentation pour un futur client. Après deux ans à marcher sur des œufs au travail à cause de ma bourde, cette occasion de faire bonne impression devant les associés était une chance à saisir. Ou du moins, je le croyais...
