Background : After the intro chapter describing current events in Hong Kong where michael awakes from a night of passion with a 'male' colleague the previous chapter gave the background of events leading up to his trip to Hong Kong. It explained how Michael was thrilled to be promoted and suddenly found that instead of taking on new responsibilities with financial benefit he was to be discarded and made redundant. Worse than that he was being passed over for Vanessa who he often baled out and who was taking advantage of the Company. whilst in shock Michael answered a call to Vanessas desk and was mistaken for her resulting in him being offered a moonlighting assignment by an agency that used other Companies employees with payments in cash and with chance of other benefits 'in kind.' stupid mistake requiring explanation of mistaken identity or chance to seek revenge? Well you would do the same in his/her shoes wouldn't you?
