The lift doors had been firmly shut for a long time, while the worn-out stairs groaned and complained to anyone who climbed them. The steps themselves crossed and then rejoined, forming a spiral that stretched on endlessly... What was this? Doors locked, windows shut, rooms dark and curtains drawn, in a place where one could rarely hear the old telephones ring, as if time had stopped and the hands of the clock had stopped turning with it. In Zenobia, the sky was overcast and threatening rain.... Just a mysterious advertisement of a few lines for a vacant position at Zenobia, asking the applicant to go to room 133A. And how could anyone reach that room in such an atmosphere, in a place where everyone refused to offer the slightest help? In this book, the authors remind us that imagination is one of the most important foundations of success in business, even though many forget and overlook it. The story follows Moira, a bold and ambitious young woman who makes her way through a world in which bureaucracy is deeply rooted, yet she never lets it weaken her resolve or wear her down. On the contrary, she holds on to her own vision and her unique view of how things are and how they should be. With her vitality and brilliance, Moira inspires everyone she meets on her journey to bring Zenobia back to life, after it had fallen into a deep sleep long ago, having once been one of the giant pillars of the economy.
