The tight-knit group of six colleagues were buzzing, as they headed into the Bodies Inc. office. As the office manager, and boss, James Cooper held the winning voucher. While Jack Simpson was his lead salesman, Susan Jones was his best seller. Scott Taylor wasn't a slouch in the sales department either. The last two places were filled with the secretaries, Jacqueline McGuffin, and Susan Gordon.
Jack was strutting along, as if the prize were his alone, and the rest of them should be grateful for his generosity. Only James knew the actual sales figures, and the good work the secretaries had done of keeping them up to date and informed about stock levels, current promotions, and special offers. In James' mind, everyone had earned their place.
He knew there was some tension in his team, but no-one had made any official complaints so he couldn't act or even investigate for fear of being accused of bullying.

"The McKinnon party?" she asked, after glancing at her computer screen.
