thought so. As far as he was concerned, she was a pretty face and that was about it. It wouldn’t be too hard to convince her.
    Misty came up to the office twice with the new paintings! He took his time to study them, and she stood by his side admiring them too.
    ‘They are creative, aren’t they?’ he said.
    ‘Yes very, he’s always been expressive,’ said Misty.
    ‘Yes he has, and our clients love him. I know who will just love this.’ He grinned.
    ‘What about you Mister Rees? You haven’t painted in a while.’
    ‘Oh but I have. I’m working on something extraordinary. I think it will be one of my best works yet.’
    ‘I can’t wait,’ she buzzed.
    He smiled. She was a joy to work with, though he knew she had a great big crush on him.
    ‘Anyway, could you find a place for these? This one I’ll keep. Give our client first glance. If he doesn’t want it, then we can show the rest of our clients.’
    ‘I think he’ll buy it!’ she said as she picked up the paintings.
    ‘I think so too, he has money to burn.’ He laughed.

Chapter Two
Seduction
    I t was the weekend! Harmony woke up with a spring in her step, literally. Her life had just taken a whirl in the right direction. She had the weekend off, which was a treat for a busy doctor like her, and she was off on some awesome dates with two gorgeous men.
    She got her morning coffee, read the newspaper that had been pushed through the mail slot. This was the life. Things had happened in the world, the news was always bad, but she had to force herself to keep up with current events.
    After she’d selected and read the stories that were worth reading, she had a slice of toast. Then it was time for morning yoga, and after that, Harmony hit the shower. As the water hit against her body, she memorised the lies she would tell tonight. Marcus thought she was a receptionist, and that she had a shitty boss who loved to grope her bottom. She laughed at the thought. She had the name of the company, and the number of years she’d worked there.
    ‘I’ve been at my job for two and a half years,’ she mumbled. ‘It’s an okay job, but not my dream job.’ She laughed. ‘What if he asks about my dream job? Or will he be lost in my looks it won’t matter.’ She laughed. She knew those types of men all too well. But hey, the man was hot! ‘Okay so...’ She made up a story about where she was born, where she went to school. She thought about what else he’d like to know. Harmony had practised it over and over and had an amazing memory, and she knew she’d ace the date.
    ‘I only need two dates, I think,’ she said as she shut off the shower. ‘What about the detective tomorrow?’ She stepped out and towelled herself. ‘I’m a high school English teacher.’ She laughed. The reflection in the mirror showed a strong beautiful woman, who enjoyed flirting with men. ‘I went into teaching because my parents were teachers.’ She spoke to herself in the mirror.
    Harmony was satisfied. Both men would buy her story, they had so far. And she was certain she wouldn’t fall for them anyway. She never had, but there was always the exception.
    The house was cleaned, the laundry done. Catch up on Grey’s Anatomy and Saving Hope were also on for the day. Harmony loved to relax and watch the hospital dramas, if only it was like that in real life. She knew for a fact it wasn’t, real life emergencies were so different to what she saw on the screen, but that was the whole point of television, escapism.
    The evening came. Harmony wore a black body hugging dress that was just above the knees, and a black coat to keep out the cold night. She arrived at their meeting place, a small cosy bar. He waved her over when he noticed her walk through the door; it wasn’t hard to spot her.
    ‘Wow!’ Marcus stood up and held out his hands.
    She took them and gave him her cheek.
    ‘It’s nice to finally meet you!’ He couldn’t contain his excitement.
    ‘It’s nice to
