Chapter Eight

* * *

HENLEY AND I reluctantly part. He attends his meeting in the Fortress and I return to the shredding room. I feed files one at a time into the machine, turning the pages facedown so as not to see the words or view the photos. The sheets of paper are chewed into thin manageable strips. I work and work and work. In my makeshift office I’m alone, isolated from the world.

I glance up at the camera and smile. I’m not completely isolated. Is Henley watching me? I pull the hem of my skirt higher, teasing him. He knows I’m not wearing any panties. My pussy is bare, open to him.

I exit the shredding room and retrieve another box. Camille sits at her desk, chatting into the phone, her voice low and sexy. She laughs and twists a green lock of hair around her pale fingers, not a care on her pale beautiful face.

She looks happy and innocent. I don’t interrupt her call or ask her about the security breaches. I march back to my noisy office and feed more files into the hungry shredder.

The early morning escapades in Henley’s office combined with my jet lag and sleep-interrupting nightmares make me really tired. I press a fist to my mouth, stifling a yawn. My eyelids grow heavy. I lean against the shredding machine, my hands slowing.

“Are you daydreaming again, Yellow?” Camille chirps and I jerk awake.

“I need my beauty sleep.” I open my eyes, sucking back another yawn. “I can no longer rely on the power of my perky butt.”

She laughs, hugging a white binder close to her bountiful chest. “The dragon lady wants to see your perky butt in her office.”

I brush my hands over my suit, smoothing the fabric. “And where is she sending you?” I follow Camille into the hallway. My friend has an unnerving bounce to her step.

“Miss Yen doesn’t know about this.” Camille looks to her right and then to her left and leans closer to me. “I’m testing something secret.”

I frown. “Is this something secret helpful or harmful?”

“Helpful, definitely helpful.” Camille twists her lips, appearing insulted. A man passing us scowls at her. “I’d never do anything to hurt anyone,” she insists. “I’m white hat all the way. Peace and love, baby.” She makes a V with her fingers.

“Then I don’t want to know anything more.” I shake my head. “Go. Test your something secret. I’ll see what our boss wants.” I trudge to Miss Yen’s office and knock on her door.

“Come in,” she barks and I enter. My boss is standing behind her desk, her phone pressed to her ear. “I know this now, but I should have been informed immediately. You should have informed me. You’re the head of security. That’s your job.”

Henley and Miss Yen are talking about me. I sit in the chair closest to the door, perching at the edge of the seat, preparing to flee if necessary.

“You of all people should know I’d understand about her needing a fresh start.
