Chapter One
    ~
    Kendra packed the last of Matthew’s things into the cardboard box and tried to stifle the yawn. It had been a long day. The company had taken a nose dive in the past year and as a consequence quite a few of the managers had been fired, including hers. She had been safe, luckily, being the most respected personal assistant in the Sydney office meant she was always going to be safe. Even if she did get booted out, what company didn’t need an assistant? It was one of the safest professions.
    Smart thinking on her part after she’d been told her school grades weren’t enough to earn her a spot in University. The first one in her family for the past three generations that hadn’t been to University.  It had not gone down well with her lawyer mother and surgeon father. Just another reason for her older sisters to rag on her about wasting her life behind a computer screen.
    “Is that all of it?” the guard asked her from the doorway. She glanced up just as he came into the office.
    She nodded. “Yes. He was pretty basic while at work.”
    The guard named Joe took the box off her and walked away without another word. Kendra looked out over the desk one last time and picked up the name plate from the edge, sliding the name out, she left the plate for the next manager.
    Funny, Matthew hadn’t been a bad boss. Actually, he’d been kind to everyone and preferred his staff to treat him the same way they’d treat anyone else. He’d been fair whenever Kendra had been sick and needed time off. He figured if you were well enough to get up and go to a doctor, you were well enough to come to work. So no doctor’s notes were necessary. Most took advantage of it, but Kendra hated it. She would have preferred to be in the office, sniffeling over her paperwork, and keeping up to date. That was just how it was with her. There was already talk of his replacement. The company had lost too much money in the last twelve months and yet they were sacking four managers and hiring a new one to take the company in a new direction.
    Seriously. Could they not have waited for the dust to settle? The morale in the office was already down, did they need an asshole coming in here and telling them what to do?
    She moved out of the office and closed the door after her, turning the light off and heading to her own desk. Putting Matthew’s name down on her desk, she moved her mouse to wake her computer back up and began typing the email that everyone was dreading.
    The email to advise Matthew and the three other managers were no longer employees of the company and were no longer allowed inside the office. No one was to speak to them of the company’s dealings or the approach they were taking.
    As she hit send, she felt someone come over to sit on her desk beside her. Kendra spun around to see the one person she really didn’t want to see in this state.
    Tamara.
    The receptionist trying to break it as a personal assistant, sat on top of Matthew’s name. Her leg crossed over the other, pushing her already short black skirt higher up her thigh. As much as she hated the girl and her ambitions, there was a certain sex appeal about her. There had been many times Kendra had fantasised about that woman bent over the desk as Kendra had her fingers slamming into her tight hole and her big blue eyes wide open as Kendra brought her to orgasm.
    “Sooooo,” Tamara drawled. “Do you know about the new boss?”
    “No,” Kendra bit out. “No one does. He starts on Monday and we’ll know more then.”
    “Oh come on,” Tamara went on. “You know everything in this company, Kenny. Just give me a lil tidbit and I’ll leave ya alone.”
    Ah. If only that were true. If Kendra gave even a little bit of info, Tamara would be over her like a bear with a honeypot.
    “I honestly don’t know, Tamara. No one knows anything about the new manager.”
    “Well,” Tamara said as she slid off the desk as elegantly as possible which made Kendra hate her
