Lyndsey was only just now reaping the rewards of her efforts in setting up her mobile beauty treatment business. It was mainly nails and finishes but she covered quite a wide remit including hair and makeup when she had also been booked to administer the make up for brides and their bridesmaids. It had been a bit of a slog but the fact that her business was getting busier through word of mouth was a source of great pride when others had to spend a small fortune on advertising.
She was a bit of a workaholic, but she tended to work from 11 until 3 so that she could be there for picking the kids up from school and then start again from 5.30 to 9 when her husband could sit with the kids. It meant Sunday was normally her chill out day. Time with her kids wasn't a problem as she was always there for the school run and to help with homework but it was time with her husband that was limited and so she rarely worked on a Sunday and then only in absolute emergencies when someone had been let down. Her time between the kids drop off and her starting her appointments were time either spent around the house or on the paperwork that was associated with running your own business.
One aspect that both she and her husband fell short was around computers. She was a technophobe and her husband even more so. So, when their home computer failed while logging her receipts it was verging on disastrous until she remembered that the husband of one of her longer standing customers, Julie, worked with computers. A quick phone call established that although he worked with a computer, he wasn't a Hardware guy but he would at least have a look at it as there were some things he could try and as they didn't live far away from Lyndsey, he would pop over that evening as even though she would be doing her evening 'shift' at least her husband could show him around.
Zac arrived with a takeout coffee and so dispensed with the usual offer of a drink. "I can't tell you how much I appreciate you doing this at short notice. You must tell me how much I owe you for doing this" was Lyndsey's husbands greeting.
Zac waved his hand dismissively and replied "Let's see if I can get it working first. If I do, we can settle for Lyndsey giving Julie a free session sometime." He sat down at the desk in the spare room and started looking around the base unit to see if there any obvious issues, aside from being old and cronky he spotted straight away the build-up of dust where the fan drew the air in to cool its innards. Once that was clean, he tried to start the computer up, but it failed a couple of times until he accessed the boot drive, that at least allowed him to boot it up in safe mode and run some diagnostics which all came back fine. A further attempt at starting produced the required results and once in he took a series of backups, he ran some tidy up tasks that seemed to clear quite a bit of space. At least now he was able to restart the machine at will and was happy with his work.
Just for good measure Zac decided to clear down the browsing history of which there was quite a bit. He found the husbands account had quite a bit of browsing for videos about gangbang and a fair bit of lesbian sex of which Zac cleared it out for Lyndsey's sake. Zac then turned his attention to Lyndsey's account and found even more interesting stuff. There was the usual history you would expect from someone who browsed, bought and sold cosmetic products but what caught Zac's eye was the browsing of erotic literature sites as well as video browsing. Both seemed to have a lot of content about cheating wives which sparked Zac's interest and so took some screenshots and backed up the addresses for later perusal.
After he had cleared her browser history down, he was satisfied with his half hours work and went to see Lyndsey's husband. "It's all working now; I've cleared a fair bit of rubbish out and I've installed a new browser for the internet as it'll be a lot more secure for you. On your account I've left a document on using the 'Private' function of the browser so that history isn't stored unnecessarily, and it'll be safer for you and the kids" Zac winked at the husband and made a mime of button his lips as he stepped out of the front door.
As she got in late Lyndsey decided she'd finish her receipts tomorrow once the kids were dropped off at school. Just as the rising sun was filtering into the room Lyndsey settled down at the computer to finish what she had started the previous day. After choosing her account the background screen loaded and she froze. The background picture had been changed to a still from her favourite porn movie that she enjoyed during her 'alone time' and she sat stock still for some time just absorbing what this meant. Her husband had told her that Zac had mentioned tidying up somethings on the computer and she busily started looking through her business folders and all seemed to be in place and exactly as she had left them yesterday went it crashed.
Her attention then turned to her 'private' archive and all seemed to be as she had left it but what to do now? Initially she had been infuriated that Zac had violated her privacy but then she had asked for assistance in sorting out the issue by whatever means it took. Now her heart rate had returned to normal what should she do with the fact that he knew about her browsing preferences. Would he tell his wife Julie? And if so, how would Lyndsey look her in the eye the next time they met. Perhaps more importantly had he told her husband but then he had been his normal self the previous evening and again this morning so she doubted he had said anything, but Zac had left the image on her background on purpose plus she had to get it removed before her kids logged on.
She could have ducked the issue and carried on with her day but that wouldn't have achieved anything plus she had to ensure the background was returned to what it was. With shaking hands Lyndsey picked up her phone and scrolled through to find Zac's number. After a few rings he answered the phone with "Hello, I was wondering when you'd be calling."
