ZACK

After, rummaging through hours of half-empty folders, he’d found nothing to indicate that his father had cooperated with some member in the workforce to mess about with Project 32’s investment. There was no slip-up, but what did he expect? His father to have just gladly provided the evidence of ordering some fool to authorise it? He’d also spent much of his day caring for Jared, who was nauseated till about half past two, when he’d finally vomited up the last chunks of last night’s vodka. If it was anyone, it had to be Clive Graves, the department manager. He had final judgment of the summary before being passed to the accountants. It made sense. He just needed evidence. Evidence that his father was still messing about. And as for this recent cock-up, Project 42 had to work.

He decided it was best to head back to Claire’s apartment and return later to the two imbeciles after following up with Claire’s progress on their project.

Zack felt tired as he got off the bus and a little dehydrated after trying not to suffocate on the awful stench coming from the elderly man sitting at the front, digging his fingers into a loaf of bread and gnawing the crusts off. He entered the apartment about quarter to five, throwing the keys onto the sideboard nearest the front door and flinging his shoes off, desperately wanting to rub his sore, aching feet.

There was just no need: he was always either out, working, and setting Olivia goals she fed back to him or tousling in another stranger’s bed.

“Oh, you’re back. Where have you been all day?” He heard her voice grow louder as she came out of the small corridor. He was lying on his back, arm propped over his head as he peeked through the gap, almost immediately regretting his decision to have been so lazily lounging about as he collapsed onto the floor at the very sight of her. That was very un-Zack of him.

Speechless was an understatement. She wasn’t naked, she wasn’t dazzled up in a shiny, golden dress for the Oscars or some other glitzy event, but she did look stunning. For whatever reason, he didn’t ask. His eyes did the asking, asking why: why did his mouth go dry at legs that looked like they went on for days? Why did his heart thump a little quicker at the little black dress hugging her curvy physique? Why was he gaping like a fish at a woman he’d spent at least a week with
