posting." He paused to grin at Lee, then turned back to Ben. "She wasn't at home, but
you seemed interesting, so I asked you some questions. We need to expand our
accounting office, and I like your skills and experience."


The Asian paused, turning again to Lee. "But it was your business posting I was
actually following up on. I'd contacted the references you'd posted, and liked what
they said about you."


Lee Shoreff stared, on the edge of being horrified, but interested in spite of herself.

Lor Lu shook his head. "That's not how we want it done. We want you on site. Our
operations and services are unlike any you've had experience with, and you'll need to
be personally familiar with them to handle the job. Get to know the people."


She cast a quick glance at Ben. She was, she realized, afraid of this job. "IтАФhow long
on site? I have a husband and two school-age daughters."


Lor Lu gestured. "No problem. Bring them. We'll provide a three-bedroom house,
furnished, and we have a state-licensed school on the premises. Our employees
consider the school better than average, and you can take your meals in our dining
room if you'd like. The cost is nominal." He laughed. "Cheaper than buying groceries,
