Her agent told her all about Jack
He lived a regular life and worked a nine to five job
But had made a secret fortune inventing medical devices
And built up a network of similar people worldwide
Each of his contacts led simple lives
But were amassing fortunes from their clandestine activities
He had founded a charitable foundation
And his group were channeling Billions into it
Her agent wanted her to meet Jack
Jack’s secret life was exactly what she needed to research
She told him to set it up soon
Then rushed to buy food for tonight’s meal
Her husband was more grumpy than usual over dinner
She asked if work was worrying him
No its just as boring as ever he said
I have been trying to meet the author of my favorite books
She froze in anticipation of his next words
I guess she is too busy writing to meet boring old me he sighed
Perhaps best to let it drop she said
She is probably not the person you are expecting
He was unusually quiet the rest of the evening
He did not read in bed
He tossed and turned all night
She wondered if he was having an affair
She checked her emails
Her agent had set up a meeting with Jack
At a neutral venue with some back-up staff for her security
Researching was as much fun as writing for her
She met Jack the next day
Quite a handsome fellow with a charming manner
He insisted on telling his story in more detail over dinner
She hesitated but accepted his invitation
