3 Bodies and a Biscotti
stand idly by and watch all her hard work be ruined by corporate greed from a company that only cared about the bottom line.  
    Connor glanced at his watch. “I have some personal matters to tend to this afternoon, but tomorrow I’d like to get my accounting expert in here to start looking at the financials. Let’s say we meet around ten o’clock?”
    Risa bit back the angry words she had been forming and nodded. Much better to play along.
    “OK, then.”   Connor stuck out his hand. “It was nice to see you after all these years. My car is parked outside in the lot there so I’ll just be on my way.”  
    Risa quickly shook his hand and muttered a good-bye. She bit her bottom lip as she watched him retreat to the parking lot. It was clear that Connor Dunn was a strict numbers man and the only way to get him to disapprove of the acquisition was to prove to him the company was a bad risk financially. Her messy office and straggly appearance wasn’t going to do the trick on its own.
    The problem was that the company was actually doing quite well financially. Risa felt her heart pound in her chest as she realized what she was going to have to do in order to make the finances appear unattractive.  
    Luckily she had someone in accounting who owed her a big favor. She just hoped cashing in on that favor wouldn’t backfire and expose the little secret they’d been keeping.
