‘YOU’RE WET. WHY? Why are you soaking wet? You’re also late.’
The door to Malik’s office had been pushed open with its usual vigour
and there she was, dripping on his pale-grey carpet, her blonde hair clinging
to her in strands as she did her best to wring it out into semi-dried
submission. He sat back in the leather chair, steepled his fingers and looked
at his secretary with his head tilted to one side.
Lucy Walker, who had been working for him for a little over three years,
was a force of nature. She was petite and curvy, with curly, bright blonde
hair that had a will of its own, and a dimpled smile that had a disconcerting
tendency to throw Malik off-track when he was taking her to task.
Right now was an excellent example.
Malik had long stopped asking himself how it was that she had stayed the
course for as long as she had when, in every way, shape and form, she was
precisely the sort of PA who normally wouldn’t come close to being
shortlisted for the high-powered role she occupied.
But she had shown up for the interview, impressed him with her in-depth
knowledge of negotiating the stock market, informed him that there was
nothing she couldn’t turn her hand to, smiled that dimpled smile and
challenged him to set any task so that she could prove her worth.
Malik had duly given her ten minutes to work out projections for
investing several million over several companies. She’d proven her worth in
half the time. She was outspoken to a fault and was impressively immune to
what, Malik knew, was a forbidding side to him that made most people
think twice about saying anything of which he might disapprove. In every
single walk of life, he was respected and feared in equal measure. But not
by her.
She rid herself of her waterproof, which she dumped on the chair she
occupied when in his office. The coat, too, was dripping onto his expensive
carpet.
‘Can you believe this weather, Malik? It’s a disgrace. Why don’t those
overpaid people ever get the forecast right? No mention of a storm this
morning when I switched on the telly—sunshine and showers!’
‘Perhaps you should have paid more attention to the showers part of the
weather report. It’s after nine-thirty.’
‘I would have texted, but my phone was low on juice. Still, I’m here now
and ready to go! Lots of thoughts about that IT company you’re looking to
get hold of, by the way.’
‘You need to go and get into some dry clothes.’
Lucy grimaced. ‘That would involve a trip to the shops. I took the spare
stuff I keep here back with me a couple of weeks ago and I completely
forgot to replace them. I was bored of blues and greys. I thought that, with
Christmas just round the corner, more festive colours might be in order.’
‘We’re in September.’ Malik sighed heavily and sat back in the chair to
look at her in brooding silence, before buzzing through to one of his other
employees, who scuttled in at speed to stare with badly disguised laughter
at his dripping secretary.
