Rosemary who longs for wedded life and has fancied Finch, fantasizes about him to her companion Smitty. (“Glad To Keep His Dinner Warm”). A short breather is called, yet the machine has come up short on espresso. (“Short breather”). Finch is baffled about being at the organization for a week and not progressing. Through Rosemary, he meets Miss Jones, Biggley’s secretary. In the sorting room, Finch acquires the regard of long-lasting leader of the sorting room, Mr. Twimble, who is moving to the delivery office and must pick his successor. He reveals to Finch the key to life span at the organization (“The Company Way”).

23.

Twimble declared Finch as his decision to head the sorting room, anyway the book cautions not to remain in the sorting room excessively long. Finch prescribes Frump for the advancement rather than himself, to benefit the organization. Twimble is hesitant to advance Frump due to his lethargy, yet Frump vows to be a decent representative (“The Company Way (Reprise)”). Twimble and Bratt are both intrigued by Finch’s magnanimous choice, and Bratt extends to him an employment opportunity as a lesser official in the Plans and Systems division, headed by Mr. Gatch, sadly.

An incredibly appealing yet air-headed lady named Hedy LaRue, Mr. Biggley’s mystery special lady, is procured as a secretary. Her passageway draws in the consideration of the considerable number of men in the workplace, provoking Bratt to clarify the workplace approach on being a tease (“A Secretary isn’t a Toy”). Finch gains from Mr. Biggley’s secretary, Miss Jones, that Biggley is a glad alumni of Old Ivy school. In the lift by the day’s end, Rosemary’s kindred secretary Smitty encourages her and Finch set up a date (“Been A Long Day”). After they leave, Frump runs into Biggley and Hedy and understands the idea of their relationship. He coerces Biggley into giving him an advancement, by taking steps to tell his mom (“Been A Long Day (Reprise)”).
