‘You haven’t said what you’re doing here,’ she said.
‘Just checking out the local news scene.’
‘You’re not working, are you?’
He shook his head.
‘Then, how did you even know this was happening?’
He hesitated. ‘I still have contacts in the local media.’
‘Oh. Of course.’ She glanced at her watch. Running late was not an option with the evening news crews facing broadcast deadlines. ‘I’d better go. Time to start.’
‘Sure. See you tonight.’
‘Not tonight. I’m going out with Lyn, remember?’
He nodded.
Della walked calmly to the front of the room. She should have known he wouldn’t be able to stay away from a media conference like this. Renowned all over the world for his hard-hitting exposés of exploitation and corporate greed, he was a media favourite here in his home town. Of course he still had contacts, and as soon as he got in touch they’d fill him in on the biggest story of the day.
She glanced Luke’s way from time to time—and each time she did he caught her. A raised eyebrow, a wink, a cheeky half-smile. She had to force herself not to look in his direction again or she’d burst out laughing and wreck the media conference, not to mention her own reputation as a self-possessed professional.
She lost sight of him in the mass exodus, and by the time she’d dealt with the debriefing, prepared the action plan for the next few days and returned to her office, the adrenalin high she’d been on all day started to subside. She scanned the messages strewn across her desk, and sighed when she spotted one from a client in the wine industry. She’d have to delegate the remaining work on their annual report or it wouldn’t be ready in time for the printing deadline.
Her mobile phone beeped and she read the text message on the screen:
ok for tonight. be here @ 6. lyn
With mixed feelings, she cleared the screen. She enjoyed any time spent with Lyn, but tonight was going to be tough.
