CHAPTER TEN

LATER THAT AFTERNOON, Indigo’s phone rang. She didn’t recognise the number on the screen and almost didn’t answer it, assuming it was some cold-caller; then again, Lorenzo had said that his assistant would contact her about the flights. Maybe it was him.

She answered the phone warily. ‘Hello?’

‘Signorina Moran?’ The stranger’s voice had a very slight accent, something which sounded as if it came from the southern Mediterranean.

‘Yes,’ she said. ‘Who’s calling?’

‘My name is Salvatore Pozzi. I’m the personal assistant to His Royal Highness Prince Lorenzo of Melvante. He asked me to get in touch with you with the details of your flight.’

‘Thank you.’ Oh, and how formal was this guy? No wonder Lorenzo was so buttoned up if this was the way things were in Melvante. The chances were that she wouldn’t fit into his private world, either, she thought with a sinking heart.

‘Do you have an email address so I can send you the information and the agenda for meeting His Royal Highness?’ Salvatore asked.

Agenda? Meeting?

It all felt very cool, very brisk—and it was the total opposite to what she’d shared with Lorenzo here in England.

Well, it was her own fault for blurring the lines between business and personal stuff. Here at Edensfield, they’d been in a bubble, protected from the rest of the world. In Melvante, Lorenzo was in the full glare of the public eye. A business meeting with him was the best she could hope for. And what he’d said about missing her—maybe he did, but things were different now and she knew he couldn’t afford to act on those feelings.

‘Yes, I have an email address.’ She dictated it coolly and professionally. Because, after all, this was a job. She was planning to meet her client, not her lover. And she’d better keep that in mind if she wanted to keep what was left of her heart intact.

‘Bene. Good. I’ll email you now. If there are any problems or you have any questions when you’ve read through the details, please call me.’

‘I will. And thank you for your help,’ she said.

‘My pleasure, Signorina Moran.’ Though there wasn’t really any warmth in his voice. It was just politeness.

By the time she’d powered up her laptop, the email from Salvatore was waiting in her in-box. Her flight was at ten a.m. the day after tomorrow—from the local airport rather than one of the larger London airports, so she guessed there would probably be a connecting flight somewhere in Europe. And there was an agenda giving her times when the prince would be meeting her over the next few days. A briefing meeting. A tour of the castle. A tour of the cathedral. A status update. A meeting with His Majesty King Lorenzo II and His Royal Highness Prince Lorenzo to discuss final details—oh, help. Not just Lorenzo, then. His grandfather as well. And his grandfather definitely wouldn’t approve of her.

Everything was tightly scheduled, she noticed, down to the minute. Well, obviously Lorenzo had a thousand and one demands on his time right now.
