AS FAR AS Imogen Hargrove was concerned, this week could take a long walk off a short pier. Or go into space and take its helmet off. If she was a potty-mouthed kind of woman, she mightâve had a few more words to employ in explaining exactly how much sheâd hated this week.
But alas, she could taste the soap in her mouth before any four-letter words had the chance to form.
âBreathe,â she said to herself as she tidied her desk. âThe day is almost over.â
Most days she loved her job. Being an executive assistant to the CEO of the most respected architecture and construction firm in Australia had its perks. Like getting to work with a host of amazingly talented, smart and passionate people. Not to mention the little blue box that appeared on her employment anniversary every year.
But today had been the cherry on top of a giant pain-in-the-butt sundae. Not only had she managed to spill her morning cappuccino all over herself, but then sheâd missed the start of the management meeting because sheâd been frantically trying to get the stain out. Which wouldnât have been so bad, except that her arch-nemesis had swooped in and made her look disorganised by handing out the wrong agenda. Imogen was positive heâd done it on purpose. Thenâlike a sign from the gods that she really should have stayed in bedâher boss had demanded she shuffle his entire afternoon five minutes before he was due to present at the finance teamâs quarterly town hall.
