The woman that slipped in the first class compartment on the fast train to London, was typical of the type of well-heeled commuter the seven fifteen carried every morning. She was dressed in a crisp white blouse, black fitted jacket, and a straight black skirt that ended just above her stocking clad knees.
The eight-seater compartment already held two men sitting opposite each other in the window seats. Both industriously bent over their company laptops, and apart from a cursory look at her, returned to their tasks.
Had they taken the trouble to look at her more closely, they would have seen a woman in her thirties, quite slim with light makeup, and a generous cleavage that was showing through the gap in her blouse that had, maybe one button too many undone. Her belly was flat, and her legs, what could be seen of them, well-shaped.
All in all, there was something about her that seemed sexually exciting but elusive. After a brief nod to her two travelling companions, she settled herself in the forward facing seat nearest the door, took out her tablet and started to read. Although this train was the fast one, it would still be half an hour to the next stop, and reading, or working, was the norm in the first class compartment.
The train was just about to move off, went the compartment door slid open, and a man in his late thirties entered and sat in the seat opposite the women. She glanced up for a second to see he was in a well-cut suit, white shirt and red tie. The typical garb of someone working in the City, and not someone you would notice in a crowd apart from his rugged face and salt and pepper hair. He sat back and took out his phone and started to text out a message.
The woman felt the vibration in her pocket as her phone signalled an incoming text, taking it out she glanced at the screen. “Usual one now,” was all it said. Without glancing at any of the other people in the compartment, she got up and made her way along the corridor to the toilet, opened the door, let herself in and locked it.
