primeval100 challenge 790, Lorraine Wickes
“George? James Lester. I’ve had a job application in from one of yours.”
“Fuck off, Jim. I’m not having you poach my staff.”
“What part of the word application did you miss?”
“What’s the job?”
“PA.”
“Yours?”
“No, the maintenance supervisor’s.”
“I thought he advertised in the Church Herald?”
“He does. Of course I mean mine. Why else would I be phoning you?”
“My wit and charm?”
“You always were delusional.”
“Didn’t your last PA like dinosaurs?”
“Sadly not. So, is Lorraine Wickes any good?”
“Fucking superb. Just don’t ask her to fire anyone. She might take the instruction literally.”
