It has come to my attention that my personal assistant has engaged in conduct that constitutes a serious breach of trust and resulted in profound personal humiliation.

I felt a surge of pride and, in response, offered a reassuring squeeze to her hand.
As an executive producer in a prominent television drama division, I had foregone a rare day off to attend a coffee shop and address her personal concerns.
