Saved by the Tiger SEAL

Anita’s mobile rang for what seemed like the hundredth time that day. Sighing, she looked at the number. She would have to take the call. It was from the office of the American Embassy.

The last four weeks had been a frenzy of organization and planning. Anita didn’t mind that so much. It kept her from moping around and thinking about George, the slime ball!

Now five months into the job she was planning the biggest fundraiser of the year, the annual Charity Gala Ball at the American Embassy. The invitations had already been issued to the great and good. This was her chance to show off her talents and demonstrate to her CEO what she was capable of. Her contract was subject to
