But Max isn't there when I arrive at work on Monday. When he hasn't put in an appearance by late morning, I head for Gerald's office.

"Have you heard from Max? He hasn't come in today."

Gerald quickly places the tablet he's holding face down on his desk. "Why do you want to know? Missing your boyfriend, Eva?"

Good God, a five-year-old has more maturity than this man. How he ended up as store manager, I'll never know. What would he say if he knew Max was his boss? I can't wait to see his face when he finds out. Something tells me Gerald won't be here for much longer once Max reveals his identity.

"No, Gerald. Just concerned for the welfare of a colleague," I reply patiently.

"If you must know, I've assigned him to Homewares this week. He's spent long enough in Clothing."

I release a breath at hearing he's okay. I'll head up to Homewares during my lunch break and ask if we can go somewhere after work to talk.

But when lunchtime rolls around and I head up to the third floor, there's no sign of Max. Julia, the staff member working with him, tells me he's gone out for lunch. Frustrated, I head back down to my floor, intending to catch up with him during my next break.

Sadly, I end up sacrificing my break to deal with a disgruntled customer who comes in demanding to see Gerald. When I explain he's already left for the day, the man becomes irritable and informs me that he's come to collect a designer watch and that Gerald is personally overseeing his purchase. If a special item has been ordered for customer collection, it's recorded on the computer system, but when I check the customer's details, I'm unable to find anything. I eventually placate the man with a promise to personally look into the matter and call him tomorrow, offering him a ten percent discount on a future purchase as a token of goodwill.

The rest of the afternoon is chaotic as one of my colleagues goes home sick, leaving us short-staffed. As closing time approaches, I'm frustrated I still haven't managed to catch up with Max. I'm also a little peeved he hasn't tried to find me, which is unreasonable considering I'm the one who's spent the last week giving him the cold shoulder and refusing to talk. I need to put things right with him, but first, I have to get to the bottom of the missing item.

By the time I've checked the main stockroom, the majority of staff have left for the night, and the usual bustle of the day is replaced with an almost eerie silence. I make my way back to Gerald's office, wondering if he's stored the customer's watch there for safekeeping. I feel a little guilty searching through his drawers, but pause when I come across the key to the storeroom I saw him leaving the other day.

I frown as a thought occurs to me. What was Gerald doing in
