Men at Work
Mike Gayle
Hodder
A sweet, funny story about love and work
Ian Greening loves his job. He loves it so much he won’t even take a promotion. He’d rather muck about with his workmates.
The other love of his life is girlfriend Emma. They’ve been together for years. The problems start when Emma loses her job and gets a new one in Ian’s office. Ian doesn’t like it at all. No more mucking about. No more flirting with the girls in admin. Ian wants her out. The question is, how? Can he do it without losing her or will it all end in tears?
