‘I’m afraid I’ll be moving our account, Patrick,’ Franco interrupts. ‘Even if I wanted to stay with you, my board wouldn’t allow it after this.’

‘Franco, I am so sorry,’ Patrick says. ‘Of course we’ll do whatever we can to make the transition as straightforward as possible.’ His eyes are like stones as they rest on me. ‘I want to know how the hell something like this happened.Someone had to authorise that change order and put it through.’

I stare again at the image on the computer screen. I don’t blame Franco for dropping us. The repercussions from this will be huge. Our other clients will rightly be concerned; if it’s not handled properly, this could destroy our agency. ‘Patrick, I don’t know who would have done that,’ I say helplessly. ‘We pulled this. It should never have gone through.’

‘What do you mean, you pulled it?’ Louise interjects.

‘Louise, I don’t mean to be rude, but this account has nothing to do with you,’ I say tersely. ‘To be honest, I’m not really sure why you’re here.’

‘Like I just told Patrick and Franco,’ Louise says, her eyes never leaving my face. ‘I was in the office when the change order was phoned through. I heard who did it. It wasyou.’

So the change order didn’t come from you, as the Creative Director?

Of course not. AJ told us to pull it, so I spoke to the team and had it binned.
