Excerpt from On Her
High Horse by Lucy Felthouse:
There was a knock at the door. Brett looked up from where he
was transferring hand-written notes onto the practice’s computer system—he
hadn’t yet gotten comfortable with taking the iPad out on calls. He was
paranoid he’d drop it in a cow pat, or worse. “Yes, come in!”
One of the veterinary surgery’s receptionists—an efficient
blonde called Natasha—sidled in, a wry expression on her face. “Hi, Brett. I’m
really sorry to bother you, but there’s a woman on the phone, and she’s being,
um, rather rude.”
Frowning, Brett replied, “Who is it? And why is she being
rude?”
Natasha blew out a breath and shrugged. “She won’t tell me
what the issue is. Won’t even tell me what animal she has. She just keeps
saying she’ll only speak to a ‘trained professional.’ I don’t know who it is,
either. All I know is her first name is—”
“Samantha?” Brett supplied, his shoulders slumping and
eyebrows raising.
“Uh, yeah. How did you know? Oh God, I haven’t gone and
insulted one of your friends or something, have I? I didn’t mean to, honestly.
It’s just she’s being a bit difficult…”
“Natasha, don’t panic. She’s no friend of mine. I’ve never
even met the woman. Besides, if she was one of my friends, I’d be giving her a
bollocking for being rude to one of my staff, wouldn’t I? Anyway, if it’s the
Samantha I think it is, then she’s being very difficult, and you’re being
overly polite. Andrew warned me about her.”
“He did?”
“Yeah. Bloody typical that she’d phone while he’s away. The
man barely ever takes a holiday, and now he finally has, his most awkward
client is on the blower. He damn well owes me one after this.”
“If she’s a regular client, how come I’ve never spoken to
her before?”
Shrugging, Brett replied, “Dunno. Maybe she’s got Andrew’s
mobile number or something?”
Natasha gasped. “But he never gives out his mobile number to
clients. He’s very strict about that—always asks us to take a message and if
it’s urgent, pass it on to him directly.”
“Yeah…” Brett scratched his head. “He didn’t say much about
her, beyond that she can be difficult. Honestly, I was a bit distracted when he
mentioned it so I wasn’t paying a great deal of attention. I wish I’d asked
more questions now, but I never thought I’d have the misfortune of having to
deal with her.”
“You haven’t, yet.” Natasha raised her eyebrows and jerked
her chin towards the phone on his desk.
“Good point.” He gave a wan smile. “Suppose I’d better find
out what she wants, hadn’t I? If she’s special enough to have Andrew’s precious
mobile phone number, then I ought to keep her sweet.”
“Probably wise.” Natasha left the room, closing the door
behind her, but not before Brett spotted the slight smile on her face. Relieved
to pass on the bitchy customer to him, no doubt.
Taking a deep breath, he picked up the phone. “Hello, Brett
Coulson speaking. How can I help?”
“Oh,” came the reply, “Brett. Ah, yes. You’re the other vet,
aren’t you? Jolly good. Know what you’re talking about, do you?” The woman’s
accent was posh, southern. Like she’d been to a finishing school or something.
Gritting his teeth, Brett then pasted a smile on his face,
hoping it would be apparent in his tone, despite the daggers he was actually
staring at her through the handset. “Yes, I most certainly do.” Should fucking
do, after five years of training and the same again working in the profession.
I’m not on bloody work experience here.
“But you sound so young.”
Glad she couldn’t see him, Brett rolled his eyes. Her
problem obviously wasn’t an emergency, the way she was waffling on,
time-wasting. “I’m almost twenty-nine, Mrs…”
“It’s Ms, actually. Samantha Hanson-Bishop here. So you’re
still a baby then.”
“Is there something I can help you with, Ms Hanson-Bishop?
Only I’ve a call to go out on in a few minutes.” He couldn’t help the emphasis
he’d put on the Ms. It could be construed as sarcastic, but it was still a damn
sight more polite than anything he really wanted to say. Would she just get to
the point already?
“Yes, yes, of course. That’s why I’m telephoning. I just
wanted to make sure I was speaking to someone who actually knew what they were
talking about. Clearly your receptionist doesn’t know anything about animals,
much less my thoroughbred horses.”
Ah, okay, that made things clearer. The stuck-up, posh bird
ran a stable. Now the haughty attitude made sense—she was entitled, bored, and
thought she was better than everyone else. Wanting to defend Natasha—who was,
in fact, very knowledgeable about animals, it being part of her job and
all—Brett had to bite his tongue. If the woman, however snobby and irritating,
ran a stable of thoroughbreds, then she was no doubt bringing plenty of money
into the practice. They were doing okay, but the loss of a big customer without
a replacement wasn’t something they’d be able to sustain for very long. And
word of mouth was very important in this game—he didn’t want her bad-mouthing
him or the surgery.
