Somehow, I make it through lunch. Somehow, I manage to look normal when inside my world has been turned upside down again. And somehow, I follow my new boss on legs that haven’t stopped shaking since I sat down.

Can I do this, I’m not so sure anymore? Do I have to do this, of course I do, if I stand any hope of keeping my job?

We travel back to the office in the same silence that accompanied us here.

Just before we stop outside Crossline, Julian turns to me and says in a low voice. “I want you to get inside that woman’s head. Discover what she does with her day. What she likes, dislikes, who her friends are, everything. I want to know her dirtiest little secret and I expect you to repay me for my generosity in giving you this chance.”

He leans even closer and his breath whips around my face, as he says darkly, “I reward my employees well if they please me, Emma. It will be worth your while, I can promise you that.”

“But…”

“No buts, Emma, never question me. Now go.”
