Pushing his luck
It wasn’t Terry’s cock of course, but Paolo couldn’t resist winding up Tony. He heard Tony’s exclamation of shock through the office walls and smiled. If he’d been a betting man he’d have wagered on Tony’s legs being firmly crossed. Paolo continued..
“Whatever it is, it smells fucking awful. It’s rotting!”
Tony came racing out of his office. He couldn’t curb his horror, disgust... and curiosity.
Having laid the bait, Paolo had expected Tony to come through to see for himself. So he got in first..
“Looks like another finger,” he continued, “more bone than boner!”
Tony wasn’t laughing though.

"More bone than boner" - classic!
The juxtaposition of the horrific situation and the humour is brilliantly done Neville, absolutely masterful. And very funny :) -

Thank you Drew. I’m having fun at the moment...but hoping the humour isn’t out of place 🤞

I don't think so. Quite the opposite, in fact, I think it adds an extra level to the story and a little more to Paulo's character.
