Veneer

From the first day of his new employment, Kris Noone felt disillusioned. He found himself in the banal world of sales assistants; folding garments, selling suits, serving hostile customers. He was ill at ease with his new colleagues; the haughty women obsessed with gossip and fashion, the servile junior staff with whom he had nothing in common, the strange tailor he took weekly alterations to. But it was his tyrannical manager, Vivienne, who was determined to go to any length to model him into the perfect employee. When he resisted, he was quick to realise the terrible consequences for them all.
