Judson began, “Speak your mind, Agnes. If I can help. I’ll do everything I can”
Judson had always been someone who valued talent. When he first saw Agnes‘ resume, he felt it was
a waste for someone of her caliber to be just a small reporter in the News Department
He remembered her interview well, when she had spoken about her passion for journalism, not for the
money or the status, much like he had been when he was younger
He had been impressed with Agnes from that moment.
Agnes spoke up. “I recently took part in a written test for a field reporter position but didn’t pass. I
understand that I may have been lacking in some areas However, I was hoping you could show me my
test paper so I can identify my weaknesses and strive to improve”
Judson nodded, “It’s rare to see someone as motivated as you. Most people either wallow in self–pity
or resign themselves to defeat when they fail. But not you. You’re one of the few who recognize their
shortcomings and push themselves to grow”
Agnes replied, “Knowing the problem is the first step to solving it. Thank you for understanding, sir
Judson said. These papers are usually not disclosed, but since the results are already finalized, I’ll
make an exception for you”
With that, he stood up and retrieved a set of keys from his desk and unlocked a nearby filing cabinet to
retrieve a stack of papers.
He told Agnes, “Find your paper and show me where you went wrong”
Agnes rummaged through the stack of papers on Judson’s desk, feigning confusion after going through
the stack twice
“Mr. Judson,” she finally said, “I can’t find my test paper”
Judson frowned, “All the test papers are here. Are you sure yours isn’t among them?”
I’m certain,” Agnes insisted.
Judson himself went through the papers but couldn’t find Agnes‘ test.
That’s odd. I have been keeping these papers since they were marked. How could one be missing?”
Judson sat down and thought for a while without being disturbed by Agnes. Finally, he picked up the
phone on his desk and dialed a few numbers
In no time, four people entered his office. They were all senior reporters at the station and Judson’s
proteges, and they were the ones who had marked
the tests
Once they were all in, Judson asked, “Who marked Agnes‘ paper?”
The four exchanged glances before shaking their heads.
Mr. Judson urged, Think hard. Are you sure none of you have seen her paper?”
The oldest among them replied, “Mr. Judson, we have good memories. None of us marked a test paper
by someone named Agnes. Are you sure there hasn’t been a mix–up?”
Agnes interjected, “I can assure you that i took the test and handed in my paper on time. The
conference room should have security footage. If none of these gentlemen marked my paper, there
must be some problem. Please, Mr. Judson, I ask that you investigate. I value this open selection
process Being a field reporter is my only wish since joined the company. I don’t want to lose this
opportunity due to some mishap
Judsons fist clenched as he gently tapped on the desk, “There must be some foul play at work. I
pushed for this open selection process precisely to avoid any internal appointments. I never thought
someone would dare tamper with it under my watch.”
