Chapter 1

George re-read the email from his boss. He checked the latest inventory, then tracked it back to the previous month’s figures. Scratching his head, he tried to make sense of the numbers. Claire was right, there was a discrepancy. He scrolled back over the past year, then grabbed a pen and started to write down the figures on a notepad. By the time he’d copied the first few months, a pattern had emerged. Something was definitely wrong.

The phone on his desk trilled, making him jump. He picked up before the second ring.

“George, come to my office.” Claire hung up before he’d had the chance to ask for a little longer to go through the figures.

He grabbed his notebook, left his office and headed upstairs.

When he arrived at the managers’ suite, Claire’s secretary smiled at him. “Hi George. You can go straight in.”

He gave the pretty blonde a smile. “Thanks, Tracy.”

He knocked once and opened the door. Claire got up from behind her desk and nodded towards the table by the window. “George, take a seat.” She walked over to join him, and he couldn’t help noticing how good she looked. Her hips were maybe a little wider than they had been ten years ago, but her legs were as good as ever. She’d always worn sexy shoes, even in the days when they were both working on the lower floor. He wondered if she even remembered their drunken grope after one of the Christmas parties before her promotion. He’d sucked her tits and gotten his hand inside her panties in a deserted office.

He cleared his throat. “I’ve been looking at the fig—”

“Good, I’m sure you’ll find and fix the problem.” She dropped a file on the table and sat opposite him. “So, how are you keeping?”

Her friendly attitude confused him, and for some reason he felt suddenly defensive. “Fine thanks, but a little troubled by the inconsistency you pointed out in your—”

“Yeah. There must be a logical explanation. I’m confident you’ll sort it out.” She gave him another smile. “How’s Brenda?”

Claire’s mention of his wife unnerved him even more than her dismissive attitude to the discrepancy in the figures. “She’s…” He wasn’t about to tell his boss about his marriage problems. “She’s fine.”

“Good. Anyway, the reason I asked you up here was to tell you about Barry.”

“Oh?” Barry ran the other group in Claire’s section.

Claire’s eyebrows knitted together and she shook her head. “He’s been having a few problems at home.”

I’m not surprised. He’d been fucking the redhead from Accounts for six months. “Oh?”

“Hmm. And now one of his kids has gotten himself into some sort of trouble—the police are involved—and I think it’s all become a little too much for poor Barry. His doctor’s signed him off with stress.”

“Oh dear.” Serves him right for getting blowjobs in the photocopying room.

“So I was hoping that you’d be able to take over his responsibilities in the short-term.”

“Take over his…?” George had already been struggling with his own workload before being landed with the inventory problem.
