could. If I help him, then maybe he will look a little more favorably on me the next time he has a contract in the offing. You know how business works, you scratch my back, I scratch yours.”
     
    “Sure, I know” said Deborah. The thought that she might be in for an easy week of work with her boss away on vacation suddenly disappeared.
     
    “So you’d be happy to do it?” asked her boss.
     
    “I guess,” she replied. “What are the details?”
     
    “If you give me a few minutes, I’ll phone and let him know that you will come,” went on Mr. Cray, “and find out what you need to know.”
     
    “OK,” said Deborah. She stood and left the office as her boss picked up the phone. Ten minutes later she got the call to return and was given the details of where to go on Monday morning.
     
    “Thanks,” Mr. Cray said as she got up to leave again. “From what I understand the work he wants is much as you do for me so it shouldn’t be a problem for you. I really do appreciate you helping.”
     
    “No problem,” she replied with a smile. “Enjoy the golf and don’t think about work too much.” Her boss returned the smile as Deborah turned and walked out his office. Thirty minutes later she was one her way home and she sat on the bus wondering what she’d let herself in for. She was sure she could do the work so wasn’t worried about that, but settling in with a new boss wasn’t always easy and she felt a little nervous about it. She’d sat in on a few meetings taking notes when Drew Sanford was present and knew he was a formidable character. She’d never really been introduced, but from what she had seen knew that he liked to take control and she wondered exactly how she would get on with him. She reasoned it was only for a week though and eventually put the matter to the back of her mind to enjoy a relaxing weekend.

    Monday morning came around all too quickly though and after her shower, Deborah looked in her wardrobe for some suitable attire. She finally decided on a light grey, knee-length dress and slipping it over her head let it fall into place. She looked in the mirror and brushed her short blonde hair into place then applied a little light blusher and lip gloss. Finally satisfied with the look, she stepped into a pair of low-heeled black shoes and left her home. Deborah sat on the bus thinking about what was in store, but worked to keep her mind calm as her nerves began to grow. Getting off at the correct stop, she walked to Sanford Tower and stopped in front to look at the impressive building. She finally moved inside and joined the throng of people standing around the elevators. The ride was crowded to start with, but by the time she reached the top floor Deborah was standing alone. She took a few deep breaths as she heard the ping of the elevator and when the doors opened strode out into the reception area. Moving over to the large desk on her left, she introduced herself and explained that she was there to see Mr. Sanford. The woman behind the desk pointed to some seats and picked up the phone to announce her arrival. It was around five minutes before Mr. Sanford himself finally came out to greet her.
     
    “Deborah,” he said in a friendly tone and held out his hand. “I’m so pleased you could come and help out.” She looked up at the face of the billionaire and smiled. Having seen him before she was aware of just how handsome he was, but having his smile focused on her was something new and she couldn’t stop the subtle quickening of her pulse. She stood and reached out to billionaire, her heartbeat running faster still as he shook her hand.
     
    “I’m glad to be of assistance,” she replied, again working to keep her calm, but finding it a little nerve wracking being so close to Drew Sanford. He held her gaze and hand a little longer than was strictly necessary for the first real meeting of two people, but eventually let go and moved back.
     
    “It’s this
