Back at the office, I went straight to Lewis and outlined the task. His eyes widened as I told him the budget. "Wow, he's not messing about. Let me get Mr Carey in."

Within minutes, the senior partner arrived, and sat as I outlined the task again. He contacted the city office, and spoke briefly with Ms Pearson, before addressing Lewis and I, "ok, 15 trainees are being sent over here this afternoon to be briefed. I suggest we also include several secretaries to assist with typing, data input and filing. Elle, you will be managing this case, with Lewis providing consultation as required. All staff requirements have been approved by Ms Pearson already, so if you need more once you get there, just speak to Lewis. Your PA will need to organise travel warrants and accommodation for everyone. Any resources you need Elle, we will provide."

"Thank you sir, I'll liaise with Mr Porenski's staff this morning and get up to speed on their HR system and processes, and get copies of their standard employment contracts. I'll spend the afternoon with the trainees, and brief them on the task. Mr Porenski is providing me with a car and driver, so I'll get down to Sussex early tomorrow morning to see what is there, what space we have, and decide how I'll organise it."

I'll be briefing them this afternoon, so I need to speak to your head of HR to find out your protocols, and some sample copies of your employment contracts please."

"Fantastic. I'll have Mr Ranenkiov call you to organise all that for you. He is my director of human resources. When will you be starting?

"First thing tomorrow morning, if that's ok? Will your driver be able to pick me up early? I want to get there before the team to get the offices ready."

With the driver booked, I waited in my office for the call from Ivan's HR man. I didn't have to wait long. He arranged to come down to my office after emailing me the documents I'd need. Laura printed them off in between phone calls to hotels and the company we purchased travel warrants from.

Mr Ranenkiov was younger than I expected, with fair hair, strikingly pale blue eyes, and the squarest jaw I'd seen outside of a fashion magazine. His voice was less heavily accented than Ivan's, and his English just as impeccable. He shook my hand warmly, and accepted a cup of tea from Laura as we sat down.

We spent a fairly pleasant hour running through the procedures he wanted performed, the information he wanted collecting, and the way the data should be inputted. Each
