CAROL MARINELLI recently filled in a form asking for her job title. Thrilled to be able to put down her answer, she put âwriterâ. Then it asked what Carol did for relaxation and she put down the truthââwritingâ. The third question asked for her hobbies. Well, not wanting to look obsessed, she crossed her fingers and answered âswimmingââbut, given that the chlorine in the pool does terrible things to her highlights, Iâm sure you can guess the real answer!

HE WOULD NOT be hiring Cecelia Andrews.
Property magnate Luka Kargas had already decided that Candidate Number Two would be his new personal assistant.
âMs Andrews is here for her interview,â Hannah, his current PA, informed him.
âThereâs no need for me to meet her,â Luka responded. âIâve decided to go with Candidate Two.â
âLuka!â Hannah reproached, a little braver now that she was leaving. âAt least have the decency to see her. Sheâs been through two extensive interviews with me, and as well as that itâs pouring outside. She had to come across London in the middle of a storm.â
âNot interested,â Luka said, because he didnât buy into sob stories. âItâs a waste of my time.â
And a slice of Lukaâs time was precious indeed.
But then Luka suddenly remembered that Ms Andrews had been personally recommended by Justin, a contact he wanted to keep onside.
âFine, send her in,â Luka said, deciding to see her briefly but then to get rid of her as soon as he could.
Impatient fingers drummed the desk as he waited, and then Candidate Three was shown in.
âMs Andrews.â Luka stood and shook her right hand, noticing that on her left she wore an engagement ring.
Nothing would induce him to hire her, for she would have to have the most patient fiancé in the world to tolerate the ridiculous hours she would have to devote to him.
And everyone knew his reputation.
