    She looked astonished and then realised her error. “Sorry.” She turned the bill around for me to look at it as she pointed to the entries relating to our wine purchases. “We’ve been charged for Tempranillo but one that was twice the cost of the one we had. I bet Marcus and his brother have some scheme going where they can milk the accounts of the hotel for the overcharges and pocket the profits.” She smiled at me with a look of triumph. “You have no proof.” I pointed out. “Apart from this single bill.” “One bill but two over-charges.” she retorted defensively. “Believe me, I know people and I can read them pretty well. The question is what to do about it?” “Leave well enough alone?” I suggested. However, I got the impression that Michelle was already well advanced with a plan to get Marcus and his brother into hot water. “Your iPhone has a good video camera?” she asked suddenly. “Yes, it’s an iPhone 6.” I withdrew it from my pocket and showed her. It was more of an automatic move rather than a properly thought through action. “Good.” “Michelle?” I asked and reached across the table. “What are you up too?” “I have to make this guy squirm,” she said, a note of anger in her voice. “Ray, I’m sorry, but I just can’t let this slide.

Anyway, I hold all the aces.” She sounded confident but I was not so sure. “But I do need your help?” “I thought you might say that.” I drained my glass. “Call it cowardly, but if it goes pear-shaped I am not sure I can bail you out.” “Please?” Her puppy-dog eyes worked their magic. “What do you want me to do?” She refilled our glasses and spoke quietly, drawing finger diagrams of the restaurant on the table cloth. She indicated the whereabouts of the entrance to Marcus’s office and how the door off the hall, which connected the restaurant to the public bar area, had a long narrow hall behind it before opening into the spacious office he occupied. She continued to outline her intensions and ideas. I simply sat and took it all in, as best I could. I was too dumbfounded to add to anything she said. As I listened I realised that she was displaying a side to her that I had had an inkling about but not seen firsthand before. I knew she was a determined woman who liked to get her way, which in itself, I did ...
