10.8.5. Change of Heart

Marc tossed his spent Latte cup into the trash can in the foyer of Promantech and started to unzip his leather jacket as he made his way through the office. This level of the building was completely and totally revolved around a company that was, indeed, a medical and drug technologies company. Marc knew the job inside out from reading brief after brief on how everything worked and was to be run. He was the picture of a successful company owner with his finger on the very pulse pumping from the heart of the business. Today he had his hair pulled back at the nape of his neck and a small pair of slim designer reading glasses on his nose. They were fake, of course, but Marc wore glasses now and again and that's all there was to it. He gave a brief nod to his Personal Assistant when he arrived, but paid no attention to anyone in the waiting room as he swept into his office and kicked the door closed behind him.

Bollocks. He shrugged out of his jacket and hung it on the rack in the corner of the office and then sat down at his desk to turn his laptop on. He was tired today. Blood sugar levels a little low, so he would have to watch himself. That was one part of James Campbell's life he couldn't have anyone erase at the drop of a hat. Marcus Fraser was diabetic, too, though apparently newly diagnosed and finding his feet with the illness. It was a miracle he wasn't cranky with Christmas veering as close as it was. This would be the first Christmas in his whole thirty years of life he wouldn't have with his family and it hurt. But a hurt he had to hide. A hurt he could distract himself from by getting extensively fucked at every turn.

This inevitably turned his mind to Harriet Ryan and he smirked, tapping in his password on the keyboard... )
