“If you do not need anything else, Mr. Andrews,” Sam said as she stood. She smoothed down her skirt ready to get the hell out of there.
“I was hoping you would go over these papers with me,” he said, glancing up at her. “Seeing as I’m new, it would help for someone familiar with the accounts to help me get acquainted with them as well.”

The phone started to ring almost immediately and she saw it was David. She smiled for a second weakly, thinking it must be a sign.
