Nothing too flashy.”Her tinkling laughter stopped short when she realized I was being serious. “Oh tasty gravy, no. This place needs an overhaul. I can see why your business partner wanted a professional.”An overhaul? “What do you mean?”“Well, this place feels like a tomb. A cement box where dreams go to die,” she answered with another of those smiles. “Probably not the message you want to send to potential clients, right?”I stared, incredulous, sputtering a little as I said, “I hardly think that’s how people feel when they walk into our office.”“It’s how I felt when I walked in,” Kitt admitted, gesturing to the gray walls and steel furnishings. “There’s nothing inviting about a giant, gray blob of space. I mean, prisons are giant gray blobs. Let that sink in for a minute and you’ll get where I’m coming from. But don’t worry, I can fix that for you.” She tapped her head. “I’ve already got some ideas percolating.”I couldn't help but bristle a little. "Well we're not trying to impress the Queen of England. We work with blue-collar people and they don't much care about the froufrou stuff. They just want to know that we can do the job for them so that they can do theirs."“Yeah, I get that but first impressions are everything and this place is depressing.”
