Figuring people out. Putting them into neat boxes so you know how to deal with them.”

      A muscle twitched beneath his right eye.

      What are you doing? a voice cried in the furthest recesses of her mind. What do you want from him? Are you looking for a reaction? Are you baiting him to tell you, “no, you can’t go”?

      Angus lifted a hand and ran it over his chin, then around behind his neck. “Lucinda,” he said, “If you’re thinking ahead to letting Sonny meet him, then he is no doubt the kind of man both Sonny and I should hero worship. Now, are we done?”

      He glanced pointedly at the coffee cups on the tray. His eyebrows rose, as if to remind her what she should be doing with her time rather than nattering with him about her private life.

      Wow. Harsh.

      They clashed all the time. Telling it like it was was their dynamic. And it worked. In fact, they fed off it. She knew if she walked away things could settle. They always did after such electric, static-fuelled dust-ups.

      But, rather than feeling invigorated, she felt twitchy, discomfited and strangely hollow.

      She turned and walked towards the door, her feet numb, her face burning.

      But when she reached the door she stopped, turned and gave Angus one last look. “One more thing,” she said.

      Angus breathed out hard. As if he was clinging to control by a fingernail. His voice was deep and tight as he said, “I think we’ve covered everything. You’re going away. HR has signed off on it. It’s done.”

      “Not about the weekend,” she managed, even while storm clouds gathered about her head, lightning flashing with the darkness. “It’s about today. When I asked if I might be given the chance to try to convince Louis to talk to Charlie about Remède’s finances…”

      She closed her eyes, shook her head and started afresh. “I get that you have the final word, that as your assistant it’s my job to grease the wheels, keep you fed and watered so that you’re able to perform at your best. But Angus?”

      She waited, squeezing a breath into her tight lungs, as it took for ever for him to respond.

      “Yes, Lucinda?”

      “I’m not your girl.”

      With that she took his dirty plates and left.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
