Once again I have to Thank My Editor For His help and advise.

Louise turned on her mobile and the messages started to bleep. I took off my coat and sat on the opposite side of the desk as she fired up the computer. She looked at her phone and checked the messages.
"All is okay," she told me. "Everybody is where they are supposed to be, doing their duties," she said.
Louise had set each person up with a company mobile phone. When they were with the client they were supposed to be with, then they sent her a text message to let her know that all was well and that they were there where they were supposed to be. She looked at the website. There was nothing new in, but there was plenty of activity on the blogs and in the chat room. She typed a good morning message into the chat room and wished all our customers a nice day. She waited for the replies to come back before announcing to me that everybody seemed to be happy. She typed again and let everybody know she wouldn't be back in the office until later on in the afternoon and hoped they all had a great day.
We ate breakfast and were now waiting to meet Mr. and Mrs. Adam and Michelle Rielly. It was nice outside, so we decided to sit outdoors and have a coffee. We were there only a few minutes, when they approached. He was just your average balding suit. She was slender and toned. She had quite a nice figure for forty-years-old and looked like someone who looked after herself well. They pulled out their own chairs and sat down before introducing themselves. Louise and I returned the introduction as the husband looked at his watch.
"I don't have much time left before my meeting. Can we get straight to it?" he asked.
Mrs Rielly ordered coffee and scones for both of them. She stared at her husband, who was looking at his watch again. We chatted loosely as their drinks and plates were delivered to them. Then we got down to business.
Louise started, "You are very lucky to have gotten on to our client list as we are very, very, busy these days. We don't have many slots left for new people and all our staff work so hard to please our clients. It looks as though we are going to have to employ more staff if it keeps going the way it has been in the last two years."
"I don't have time for this nor do I want to know anything about your nasty business. I just want to get this over with as quickly as possible, sign the hard copy of the contract and be on my way. I have done the meet and greet thing that Michelle wanted me to do and now I need to get on. All I ask from you two is that you respect my wife's wishes. You provide for her what she needs and wants. Make her happy and that makes me happy. I will pay anything in the world to keep her happy and this is her latest adventure. I do not want or need to know what goes on with your company. My wife and I assume you will grant my wishes and with hold any of this information from me. I will never see any of you again. Michelle will be the only one contacting you from now on. She has full control of the account we set up on your site. She has even changed the passwords already. So, any contact will be between you and her. I want nothing to do with it at all. Her funds for this will be from her monthly allowance, which is quite large, I might add. So, with all that said and done, give me the papers to sign and I'll be on my way," Mr Adam fucking Rielly said with a ignorant tone in his voice.
Louise took from her case a bundle of papers and selected a few that were stapled together. She handed them to Adam as he removed a pen from inside his suit jacket pocket.
I studied his wife as he thumbed through the papers. Yeah, I thought to myself, a trophy wife. She sat there letting that little prick of a husband do all the talking and said nothing. She just let him rant on and make himself feel good, but when he was gone I knew she was going to be totally different than she was at that moment.
Adam signed the three pages and handed them over to Michelle. She wasn't so fussy and just signed her name under his without reading anything on the papers. He got up, straightened his jacket, put his pen back into his pocket, drained his coffee cup, and said his goodbyes to both Louise and me. We both stood up and shook his hand. He bent and kissed his wife on her cheek and told her he would see her later. Then he left.
We all watched as he disappeared into the distance before Michelle opened her mouth and said with a posh but girlish Dublin accent, "He is a pompous old fart, really."
"No," I said, "he is a fucking little prick. He thinks he knows you, Michelle, but he doesn't really, does he? He is an arsehole too busy doing whatever it is he does to look after you properly. That's why you came to us, isn't it?" I replied.
Louise and Michelle laughed aloud as they could see the annoyance in my face.
"Calm down, Pops, and behave yourself, please. We have to be nice to our new client," Louise said.
I settled myself and looked across the little table at Michelle. She was still laughing with Louise.
"Okay, Mrs Rielly, what is it you want from us? Don't be shy. We have heard it all and nothing you can say shocks us," Louise said, slowing down her giggles.
"Well, I have some very naughty ideas. I don't know if I should say in front of you, Louise. It's embarrassing for me to talk to you face to face like this. It was okay when I discussed it on the chat room and via email, but its hard for me to say what I really want when I'm face to face with you lovely people," she replied, getting redder and redder as she spoke.
