Stupeur et tremblements

Mr. Haneda was the superior of Mr. Omochi, who was the superior of Mr. Saito, who was the superior of Miss Mori, who was my superior. And I was not the superior of anyone. We could say things differently. I was under the orders of Miss Mori, who was under the orders of Mr. Saito, and so on, with the precision that the orders could, downstream, skip the hierarchical levels. So, in the Yumimoto company, I was under the orders of everyone.
