An hour later, "Dr. Mettler" walked into the boardroom of Datacomp.
"Hello, Janice," said a woman standing at the head of the table.
"Hello," said Anna in Dr. Mettler's voice. She set down a box she had brought in with her. "I hope you don't mind. I was a little hungry and brought some donuts
with me. Go ahead and have one, everyone!"
There were about 6 other people in the room, four men and two women, besides the woman who was obviously in charge. Anna noticed this woman had the
husky voice Anna had heard over the phone. One of the men, middle-aged with a pot-belly, happily took one of the donuts and passed the box on to a woman
Anna figured to be somewhere in her late 40s. The woman shook her head and began to shove the box on.
"Oh, don't worry about calories, dear," said Anna. "With these donuts, your weight doesn't matter."
"What are you calling Leona 'dear' for, luv?" asked the chairwoman. "Trying to make me jealous?"
"I'm just feeling very loving today, that's all. Please, everyone, have a donut!"
