It was 9.30 in the morning and Peter Reid was sat at his desk pondering the first major problem of the day. It was a problem being faced by thousands of other workers across London at that exact moment. Should I check my personal e-mail first or have a quick game of Freecell? Peter decided on checking his mail account as you never knew what you might find in there and leaned back in his chair as his PC did the necessary.
All in all Peter was pretty happy with his lot. He was twenty, had a good job in the city, good-looking ish and he liked to keep himself fit. More importantly he had one of those elusive jobs where you could get away with doing virtually nothing and still get well paid for it. Not bad not bad even if he did say so himself.
Peter was an analyst for Crown Acquisitions, the top venture capital Company in London. Founded by Nicola Crown and still run with an iron hand by her, even though she was worth so much she could of bought half the Caribbean. He had joined straight from school and soon learned he had a natural flair for numbers. That had quickly lead to his promotion into his current position as analyst.
The phone rang on his desk almost making him jump, he usually didn't accept any calls until after 11.00, the fact that someone would call at such a time worried him slightly.
"Hello"
He said, slightly apprehensively, his heart rate had increased markedly in the last few seconds. Anyone looking on would have noticed a slight flush appear on his face.
"Good morning can I speak to Ginger please"
Peter flushed further and stole a furtive glance around the office to see who else was in earshot, thankfully he was virtually alone. The voice belonged to one Mrs Richmond, P.A. and personal confidant to Miss Crown, company C.E.O. Every time Peter heard it his stomach lurched and his cock twitched, the sound of that voice meant only one thing. Trouble.
"This is Ginger speaking"
"Ginger be a darling and pop up to Miss Crowns office, she has need of you today"
