Adam Edwardson was leaned back in his office chair, and put his feet up on the big oak desk in front of him. With a smug smile he took a sip from the cup of coffee that one of his girls just had brought him. He was sitting in the the managers office at "A.E. Fashion", the most renowned clothing shop in town with a prime location at the city center. Everybody who was something, who had a reputation to think about, bought their clothes there, and the price tags were set thereafter.
Mr Edwardson sure loved his job. Ten years ago when he opened the shop, it had just been a front for his other businesses, but over the years he had grown quite fond of it. The wide assortment of lingerie and the selection of "adult themed" dresses had become a matter of pride for him, as well as a commercial success. Compared to what he made in trading in other goods it was nothing, off course, but he still cared a lot about it.
Yes, he loved his job, and today would be even more fun than most other days. He had been watching that girl for weeks, since he first saw her shoplifting. Instead of intervening he had let her go on, instructing the staff to leave her alone as much as possible to make it even easier for her to dig herself deeper into trouble. While she helped herself to clothes for thousands of dollars, he had his staff follow her to get her name and address, and when he finally couldn't wait anymore he had sent her the letter. It had all been so easy, almost to easy to be fun. She had bit on his bate, and now all he had to do was to reel her in.
Mr Edwardson was in his early 40's, a fact that some emerging strays of grey in his otherwise short, black hair gave away. He was well above 6 feet tall, and his body was athletic, almost, but only almost, as vigorous as when he was a swimmer back in his youth. The black suit he was wearing together with a blue tie probably cost more than some of his employees made in a month, but that really didn't become him. Impatiently he looked at his watch with dark eyes that was just as cold and expressionless as the rest of his sober face. That little thief didn't seem to be in a hurry. But he knew she would show up at the store, sooner or later.
