The Blind Date

It is a truth universally acknowledged that if you go on a blind date and it ends badly then you will invariably meet that person again at the most inopportune and awkward moment.

Okay, so that hadn’t happened in the past (and Charlie had been on blind dates before) but it seemed that this time the universe had it in for her.

She hadn’t even wanted to go on the blind date in the first place. Her best friend Evie had begged her to go, in disguise of course. Evie had bribed her with luxury items and who was Charlie to turn down the opportunity to give a good home to a poor, homeless designer handbag?

It was supposed to be an in and out. She was just required to make sure the guy never wanted to see Evie again. Fine. No problem. Charlie had done it before, but this was the absolute last time she was going to do her friend this particular favour.

But, of course, the universe had other ideas and her blind date turned out to be her new boss…
