As you say

Swindled

To say the last few days had been strange would be an understatement. The working relationship between Mr Knight and myself had relaxed, yet i would see him looking at me as if i was a puzzle to solve.

My biggest problem was staying away from him, this attraction i had to him was getting way out of control and my dreams were defiantly not helping. I had stuck to my work and carried on as if sunday night never happened, yet couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to have him drink from me.

My mind wandered back to Daniel and i couldn't help but wonder what he would make of all this. I was promised to him and only him.

Mr Knight was out this morning so i had decided to go through the Mr Everys accounts even though he insisted on doing them himself the report was due in soon and thought it would be easier to do now.

As i went through them i noticed a slight difference and went over them again to check i hadn't got it wrong. Shaking my head i turned onto the computer and checked them against Mr Knights accounts.

"Son of a bitch" I muttered to myself, the accounts didn't match. The properties Mr Avery was buying had an indescresion of between one to eight thousand pounds. Getting out of my chair i pulled the files from the last three years. My god this man had taken thousands, adding onto whatever he was paying. I remembered a conversation between him and Mr Knight and had an idea. Picking up my phone i rang the person i needed. "Lucas, you do realise this is really long distance" The voice said after picking up. I just smiled "Michelle i need a favour are you alone?" I asked "Yeah i'm in my room. Why what's wrong?" She asked. "Can you tell me how much the last villa you went to cost?" I asked, i heard the opening of a case and rustling of paper. "Ah here it is. Yeah it was a hundred and thirty five thousand" I smiled "What's going on?" I explained to her what i had found "According to our records it was a hundred and sixty five" I told her "Son of a bitch" She hissed down the phone "Look don't let him know that i told you. Keep things the way they are, i'm going to tell Mr Knight when he gets in. But it does explain why he never let anyone handle his accounts" Michelle was quiet for a minute "Ok i promise. How are you getting on over there?" She asked "Ok i guess" I heard her chuckle "Getting on with Knight ok?" I sighed "As long as i remember my place yeah. He can be a bit of an ass but.." Now Michelle really laughed. "He's a good man Lucas, remember that. Whatever else he might be he is a good man" I frowned at what she said, did she know? "Listen we're heading out in a bit to  the next property, i'll let you know what we got it for so you can see what he's adding on" I nodded "Thanks girl you're the best" And with that we hung up. 

My mind wandered to what she said about Mr Knight and 'whatever else he might be' Not so much the words, but the way she said it. Did she know? I shook my head and began typing up the account details and discrepancies. As i had hit the print button the door slammed open and i spun round to face a furious looking Knight. Delicious looking but still furious, my heart went to my mouth and not in a bad way either. He was wearing a dark blue suit and tie with a white shirt and Damn did he look yummy. "Is everything alright sir?" I asked nervously, Mr Knight turned his attention to me and his face softened slightly causing butterflies to explode in my stomach "Yeah fine" He shook his head "Just the tenants up London left and decided to leave a bare shell, it's going to cost thousands to repair" He came in and slumped on the chair the other side of my desk. "It's going to take months to fix it" I couldn't help but feel for him "How bad?" I asked He reached into his briefcase and pulled some papers out and threw them onto the desk. I went over and looked, they were pictures of the property and damn if world war six hadn't broke out "Is that needles?" I asked looking at one picture. Mr Knight nodded "It's also the damn bathroom" I frowned and looked closer. You could actually see the pipe work and i realised he wasn't joking when he said stripped bare. "Please Lucas tell me some good news" I bit my lip knowing i had none. He looked at me and groaned "You have bad news don't you" It wasn't actually a question as such but i still nodded slowly. "Is it repairable?" I shrugged. "Wait here a sec i'll be back" I told him and dashed into the kitchenette to make him a coffee. Partly to help him calm down and partly to give me time to think how i could tell him.
