СКАЧАТЬ on,’ exclaimed Amanda sitting up. ‘Lunch is all right, dinner maybe, but as for getting seriously involved with a man of his age, well, you must be joking!’

      Caroline flushed. ‘Don’t say that,’ she said tensely.

      Amanda frowned. ‘Why not? Someone’s got to. Think, Caroline! He probably eats girls like you for breakfast. Men like Steinbeck can have their pick of any woman, and I mean any woman. Be your age. Besides, he’s probably married with half a dozen kids.’

      Caroline rolled on to her suddenly churning stomach.

      ‘He said he wasn’t married,’ she muttered quietly. ‘I can easily find out if he’s lying, so why should he lie?’

      Amanda shrugged. ‘Okay, he’s not married. That doesn’t make him any younger.’

      Caroline clenched her teeth. Amanda was probably right in everything she said, but she still wanted to see him again. She had to see him again! She had never heard anything derogatory spoken about him at the office, but that was no guarantee; money could close a lot of mouths.

      ‘Well, anyway,’ she said defiantly, ‘I’m having dinner with him tomorrow night.’

      Amanda spread her hands, palms upwards. ‘I can’t stop you. I can only say that the Steinbeck Building must have been up about fifteen years and he’s been there probably as the head for most of that time.’

      Caroline sighed. ‘I expect he’s in his thirties,’ she said casually.

      ‘Late thirties,’ corrected Amanda grimly. ‘Hell, you’re really hooked aren’t you? I’m sorry, kid, but you shouldn’t take people at their face value.’

      Caroline shrugged. ‘You’re a great one to talk. What about you and that creature who called this evening?’

      Amanda frowned. ‘At least he’s in my age and income group,’ she retorted, and Caroline got up off her bed and walked moodily into the living-room.

      No matter what Amanda said, she was going.
