Background information/ Idea

The scene is set in an office where a boss (Mrs Smith) is typing on her laptop on her desk , she is interrupted by a knock at her door and it is her secretary. The secretary enters and she has some papers for her boss to sign. The boss signs them, however she doesn't know that she has just been conned by her secretary.
