full medical, the non disclosure agreement and other stuff… did he tell you about that?”
“No Harry he didn’t… Now I am worried. Why would Marcus need all this legal stuff? I don’t understand.”
“Well this is how it all sounds to me… You’ll basically be his slave. You won’t be able to go out without asking. You’ll be tied to your desk for him. You won’t be able to talk about him ever, not even to me… And, I assume he’ll expect you to stay there full time weekends included and you’ll have dish up hot sex whenever he fancies it. I vote for the jobless and see how it goes.”
“Look Harry… you won’t understand this and I can’t explain it… but I’m going to sign that contract. I’ll do what he wants for 3 months and I’ll make sure I get out of it at the end. From what I have seen I don’t feel he’s a bad person, I’m sure I won’t be his slave or unable to see you at all. Let’s look upon it as an investment. You’ll keep your job. We’ll both be paid well out of it. I can take my time looking for another job after the three month period as we’ll have some money behind us. There’s not much I can’t handle. I can handle him… it’ll be fine.” Being around Marcus for three months was not such a problem for her, it was the not seeing Harry that was…
She was duty bound to do this. She had agreed to it. She wouldn’t ruin other people’s lives because of it.
It was time for her to step up to the plate.
“Rose… please don’t”
“Harry… Yes”
Chapter 19
Marcus sat in his office reading the report sent by Jack on his computer. Rose’s family lived in Dorset, teacher parents, one younger brother Carl … She was 25 had a degree in Finance from Bristol University, she was healthy and generally there was nothing negative in them. She was on the contraceptive pill – that would have to stop…
He looked at the photos sent by email from Lila Mishra the female P.I. Jeff and he always used. He studied the close up of a young looking man. Then he looked at the other photo… the one with the same man holding hands with Rose as they left the Cabot Square office the night before. He read the short activity summary from Lila.
“Left office at Cabot square at 6pm. Travelled by DLR to Bank station. Meal at Rooftop Restaurant, Bank. At 8 pm took underground to Camden Town, walked to apartment at 19 Highland Street (let to Harrison Taylor, age 27, Trader at Polygon Investments) spent the night, leaving at 7 am to return together to Cabot Square office.”
Such dedication, thought Marcus, Lila had hung around all night… he’d send her a little bonus money for that. Rose was obviously sleeping with this other trader Taylor. This needed more thought and consideration and a little technical intervention on his part. She had said she was single. She certainly acted like it the other evening. Maybe it was casual… He’d put something in place and find out about that later. Not that it mattered much anyway. Once she’d been with him for a while, she wouldn’t want anyone else. He knew he was like a drug.
So, nothing much to worry about. She was his perfect partner-to-be in his opinion.
As he read the Rose detail reports an email arrived from her.
“Marcus, when we made our propositions, I did not expect I was to sign my life away to you. What is all this legal stuff about? I assumed you would call for me personally from time to time, when it suited you. This situation sounds like I am your slave, or am I wrong?”
He replied carefully, he didn’t want to alarm her any more…
“Of course you aren’t my slave Rose. You can come and go as you please as long as you keep to the main terms. The legal documents are necessary as people may take advantage of me, my wealth and my position. It’s mainly for my protection. I should have explained this before now. I’m sorry. There are some things we need to discuss though. I am coming into your office at 1pm this
