Passage Company Organization

As Promotion⁴ Manager of Mary Kay, Jane has to look after many things, including telling new staff members things about the company itself, and how it is organized.
Today, she has to give an orientation⁵ session to some new sales representatives. She starts her talk by explaining the business of Mary Kay. Next, Jane uses an organization chart to help her introduce the company organization and the locations of the various departments, in particular, the Sales and Marketing⁶ Divisions. There are two Sales Divisions — Office Furniture and Building Materials, both of which are under the Line Director, Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith's office is on the fifth floor. You can take the lift in the middle of the hall to the fifth floor, and then turn right at the fountain. It is the fourth door at the back.
She also tells the new sales representatives that they are assigned to the Office Furniture Division, and asked them to report to Divisional Sales Manager, Hal Bohlman, whose office is on the first floor. When you walk out of this room, turn left and then turn right. It's the second door on your left. She further explains that there is an Office Manager, Judy Black, who is in charge of the clerical staff. Her office is on the first floor, near Finance. With that she ends the orientation session.
