With tears streaming down her face Clancy drove aimlessly, she was not aware of where she was going or anything else other than the pressing need to escape. The only trouble was she could not escape the scene running through her mind, over and over. The scene of coming home to her flat and finding her fiance Jim in bed with Amy his personal assistant. An ironic chuckle escaped her as she realised it gave a whole new meaning to the job title, she had been so shocked, so stunned that she had just grabbed her car keys back off the table jumped straight into her car and drove off .
