This short tale will take you about ten minutes at the most to read.  It's a short story that will have you talking about it with others who you later show it to on your Kindle.  Miss Perkins has taken a job at a solicitors firm, she's not a very professional employee, clearly not too bright, and believes her boss is making sexual innuendos to her.  Her boss catches her on the phone in a very unprofessional personal phone call where she is badmouthing him. But how much of the conversation did he hear? She then decides to lie about what she said when he asks her about it and keeps digging herself in deeper.  What follows is a conversation between Miss Perkins and her boss. She believes every little word he says that could have a double meaning is him being sexually suggestive. As you turn the pages you'll wonder if she is actually true in her beliefs or is it just the case of a young dim-witted woman not being familiar with the way an older generation male talks in a solicitor's office.This short story works because Miss Perkins is so unlikeable, incompetent and stupid that you have no doubt she obviously hasn't spent much time in the real world of an office, combined with her stupidity in not knowing being able to work out how to turn down a phone's volume you wonder if the harassment is indeed all in her head.  Is her boss just genuinely trying to give her a break and being wronged by her whole attitude, or is he instead perfectly aware of the double meanings of his words and how she is interpreting them.This short story also has a really cool ending!Update May 2012 - For some reason this review has attracted one of those low intelligence individuals who thinks it cool or that they are clever by giving away what is actually going on in this story in the comments section. You know like people who watch a TV show's final episode on one side of the country and think everyone will be real impressed if they get online and tell everyone in other timezones how it ends, who wins or whatever the case is.
