His Majesty is the office. Meetings, reports, tables. Muscovite moves to London to work in a huge company and looks in it with a white sheep. Sincerity, friendliness, openness are not accepted here: everyone pursues their goals. The heroine delays into this world, where manipulations and lies lead to career success-it is only necessary to accept its rules ...
