Putting an Office Mistake Right

You worked at Clearstep Office Services in Larkstone, a suburban community in Alberta. One afternoon, you realized that you had ordered far more printer paper than the office needed. You needed to tell your manager, Farah, and put the mistake right. You may draw on a memory or create your own story.
