“What do you mean wasn’t qualified?”
“I mean, they lied on their resume.”
“That happens a lot, love; it’s not that serious.”
“You can’t say that. With our clientele and the secretive nature of our business, we shouldn’t be so lax. People sue for anything these days.”
“You’ve got a point. But we do intense background checks of all our people, so there shouldn’t be any issues.”
“As long as you’re sure. What about people who were recommended by friends and family? Do we do background checks on them as well?”
“Not really, not as in-depth as we do with others, at any rate.”
“I think we should. Let’s not take any chances.”
“You’re really spooked, huh.”
“You can say that. I don’t want you to get embroiled in something like that if it can be avoided. I say we do a complete overhaul of the whole corporation, not just one company. Also, look into all of our holdings while you’re at it; make sure everything is on the up and up there as well.”
“What exactly have you been watching to make you this nervous? Okay-okay, I’ll do as you ask.”
“Why don’t you let me handle it?”
“You?”
“Of course, I have to do a lot of background checks and vetting as well, you know. Besides, I don’t think we should let anyone in the company know what we’re doing it might make people nervous in this economy.”
He gave it some thought before agreeing. “You might be right. Okay, let me know if you need any help. I’ll ask Jack to get you a list of employees.”
“No need, and please don’t tell Jack about this for now. Let’s keep this between you and me. I don’t expect to find anything, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
“We’ll do it your way, but don’t work too hard.”
“I won’t, I promise.” I smiled as I cut into my steak. Even though there was no affair, the changes in our marriage had been eye-opening, and I mean to carry on regardless.
My husband has been happier than I’d seen him in a while, and I’ve felt more alive than I have in a very long time. As to the situation that got us here, I already know how to deal with it. Since neither of them knows that I’m on to them, I can pull their strings from behind the scenes and make sure they never get the chance they’re looking for.
I was convinced more than ever that my husband adored me. It had been months since those two started their little game of cat and mouse, but apart from the hug, which she instigated, they hadn’t been able to get him in a compromising position.
Thankfully, I caught it in the very early stages, so now that I know what’s cooking, I can keep my eye on the pot. Jack had been recommended a couple of years ago by one of Mark’s cousins, who I don’t suspect has any part in this scheme, but I’m still looking into it. For all I know, it could’ve been innocent on our cousin’s part, but it definitely wasn’t on Jack’s.
It appears that he’d targeted my husband from the get-go, which is what’s going to work against him. Since he works so closely with my husband, there’s a lot I can trace back to him, and that, added to the clone, will keep me abreast of their actions.
I already have the report on Jack and am now using this suggestion as a cover until the right time comes. I could just expose everything right now since they didn’t get what they were after. But that would be too easy. First, if word got around that our company was this vulnerable to scams, who in their right mind would trust us in the future?
No, I need to handle this in a way that those two won’t have a voice to make so much as a squeak when I kick them out on their ass.
Our sex was even more passionate than in the last few months because I found myself with lots of excess energy. Mark didn’t complain, but I’m sure the scratches and bites I subjected him to had to have him wondering.
“Babe, I’ve been meaning to ask you. What the hell has gotten into you?” He was busy sliding his cock in and out of me as I laid on my back with my legs spread as wide as I could make them go.
“Other than your cock you mean?” I don’t think I’ve ever said the word cock to my husband before, and it had quite an effect on him.
His reaction was to drive into me harder. “That’s it, fuck me harder.” If I knew all these years that that was all it would take to make him go wild for me, I would’ve done it long ago. I screamed with pleasure when he raised my legs higher in the air and held them there by my ankles while he went wild between my thighs.
