So is Sophie, and the best part of the book is seeing her act as a professional obstruction to Alex, and seeing him clearly not know how to deal with her. The last two secretaries apparently fell prey to his charms and Madame is sick of it. Alex is a control freak in all things and is constantly trying to horn in on his mother's finances.

Madame is charmed by Sophie's straightforward nature and dry humor, and offers Sophie a new role- as her secretary- which Sophie accepts.
