porno film. You should sell it to a tabloid. It’d fetch a mint.’
‘That’s not what I want,’ Luke said.
‘Then what are you gonna do with it, then?’ Tom’s job wasn’t at risk but he’d still felt the sharp end of the bitch’s tongue enough times to want to watch her swivel.
‘I’ve already got a buyer but before I hand it over I want revenge. I’ve worked my butt off for that bitch for the last five years and all I ever get from Kara Kavanagh is grief. She treats me like a kid and humiliates me at every opportunity. It’s time she learnt her lesson.’ For once Luke was actually looking forward to Kara Kavanagh’s imminent arrival at the office.

Kara was feeling a tad hung over this morning. Drinking at lunchtime upset her body rhythm but she wasn’t complaining.
She showered and made herself a large black coffee. She needed to be on top form today. Luke Granger could be a tricky bastard at the best of times and today he was going to be cornered and at his most dangerous. She didn’t want to do anything that might give him the ammunition to go to a tribunal and bring Jack Finnegan down out of his ivory penthouse tower and on to her back.
She wondered if she should perhaps run it past him but decided against it. He’d employed her to do his job so that he wouldn’t have to and that meant the buck stopped with her.
Kara ’s fingers wandered to the ring between her legs and as she did William’s smile filled her mind. It was very distracting and in the most tantalising of ways.
Kara drained her coffee cup and went back upstairs to dress. She needed to stop acting like a love sick teenager and get herself into work mode, but it was difficult. Her stomach was in constant turmoil.
She chose a sombre navy business suit with a simple cream lace chemise underneath the short jacket, teamed with navy stockings and a pair of navy court shoes.
When she got back downstairs her car was waiting for her. She picked up her briefcase , locked the door and pocketed the key.
Kara studied Luke Granger’s file on the ride into the city. The traffic was typically Monday morning crazy. She could have walked there quicker but today she was in no hurry to arrive. Today the ride acted as a kind of buffer between work and her private life. Kara smiled. She actually had a private life to juggle with at last.
Kara’s mind wandered back to William and she gazed out of the window planning their next date in her head. She wanted him to come to her house. She wanted to cook for him and share her bed with him. She wanted to see his head resting on the pillow next to her when she woke up in the morning, and feel his hand between her legs tugging on the ring he’d placed there…his ring.
A car horn blaring in the lane next to them brought her back to reality. She looked back down at the file on her lap.
Luke Granger had got into the firm via the back door long before Kara’s arrival and despite his lack of ability and poor results he’d somehow managed to keep his job. She had no idea why but Jack seemed to have a soft spot for him.
The car pulled up outside the office of A.I.R Financial and the concierge rushed to the kerbside to open her door. Kara put on her dark glasses and climbed out.
‘Good morning Miss Kavanagh.’
‘Morning George.’
She walked inside and smiled at the receptionist, collected her post and headed for the lift. She was firing on all cylinders now and she was hoping to sack Luke Granger, chair a shorter than normal meeting and then spend the rest of the day in her office catching up on what she’d shelved on Friday.
‘Nice weekend, Kara?’ Her secretary handed her a cup of black coffee.
‘Very nice, thank you, Julie. Get me Luke Granger the minute he comes in, please.’ Kara didn’t share her life with her secretary in the same way as some of her staff did, even though this morning she wanted to shout from the roof tops: I’ve got a boyfriend and he’s the most
