“It’s your grandfather.”
Hunter frowned and made his way to the phone, taking the receiver from Sally.
“Hello, Granddad?”
Sally moved to a department as far away as possible. Even though she strained her ears, she couldn’t hear what he said to his grandfather. Maybe the man was recalling him. That would certainly solve her problem, but the thought suddenly made her feel a little sad.
Hunter hung up the phone. “Sorry about that.”
“Not a problem. When do you have to leave?”
“I’m not going anywhere. Why would I?”
“Oh, I assumed that’s why your grandfather called.”
Hunter gave her his lazy grin again. “Not hardly. He actually wanted to know if you were working me. He thinks it’s important that I earn my keep.”
“I wanted to talk to you about that. We’ve been very busy today, so I intend to pay you the same as I’m paying Mary and Ethel—it’s only fair.”
“I wasn’t talking about a wage, Sally. I don’t expect you to pay me. I’m here to learn about your business for my own benefit.”
“Well, you will definitely work hard during the two weeks you’ll be here if today is anything to go by. We have been very busy already.”
“Well, I’ll be happy to do anything you ask me to. Just say the word.”
Sally suddenly thought of something he could do that neither lady could do for her and which had been troubling her for some time now. “Actually, Hunter, I do have an additional way you can help me.”
“Sure. Like I said, I’ll be glad to do anything. What do you have in mind?”
Sally smiled, knowing that this request would at least take Hunter by surprise. “I’ll need you to play Santa.”
