CHAPTER EIGHT

SATURDAY was usually the best day of the week. A day when the prospect of a lie-in, followed by forty-eight hours away from work, gave even the prospect of the most mundane tasks, carried out in the most miserable weather, a glow of anticipation like any other.

But this Saturday was different, Terrie reflected as she pulled on faded denim jeans and a well-worn bright pink T-shirt. Or, rather, it looked set to be almost exactly like every other day this week, and that was what made it a problem.

This time last week, she had had a job. Not the best job in the world, admittedly, but at least it had been something. Something that had meant that she was able to support herself, pay the rent on her flat, and maintain a degree of self-esteem.

She no longer had that job. After her absence from two ‘vital’ elements of the conference her services had been abruptly dispensed with, a decision she hadn’t even felt up to arguing about. She had already decided that employment at Addisons had totally lost any of the fragile appeal it had ever held for her. And, as a result of Giovanni Cardella’s intervention in her life, self-esteem was something she was totally lacking. He had seen to that, removing all her confidence and leaving her feeling lower than a snail’s behind.

‘So now what do I do?’

Even the question seemed totally redundant. There was nothing to do.
