‘THERE’S A PROBLEM,’ the middle-aged man sitting in the chair in front of Arturo da Costa stated without preamble.
Art sat back, linked his fingers on his stomach and looked at Harold Simpson, a man who was normally calm, measured and so good at his job that Art couldn’t think of a time when anything had been a problem for him. He ran the vast legal department of Art’s sprawling empire with impeccable efficiency.
So at the word problem Art frowned, already mentally rescheduling the meeting he was due to attend in half an hour as he anticipated a conversation he wasn’t going to enjoy, about a situation he would not have foreseen and which would be tricky to resolve.
‘Talk to me,’ he said, his deep voice sharp, knowing Harold was a rare breed of man who wasn’t intimidated by his clever and unashamedly arrogant and unpredictable boss.
‘It’s the development in Gloucester.’
‘Why is there a problem? I’ve got all the necessary planning permission. Money’s changed hands. Signatures have been put on dotted lines.’
‘If only it were that simple.’
‘I don’t see what could possibly be complex about this, Harold.’
‘I suppose complex wouldn’t quite be the right word, Art. Annoying might be the description that better fits the bill.’
‘Not following you.’ Art leaned forward, frowning. ‘Don’t I pay you to take care of annoying problems?’
Harold deflected the direct hit with a reprimanding look and Art grinned.
‘You’ve never come to me with an annoying problem before,’ he drawled. ‘Perhaps I was rash in assuming that you dealt with them before they could hit my desk.’
‘It’s a sit-in.’
‘Come again?’
