SEVEN

How bad could it be?

Until that morning Heath had no idea how frustrating it was to be a passenger in a car, which smelt of his father, being driven by a girl who insisted on keeping below the speed limit on every single road, lane, highway and alley between the Manor and the quaint London street where she lived.

It had become very apparent, very quickly, that Kate had not owned a car since passing her driving test. Why should she when she lived in London and worked in London and enjoyed public transport in London?

So basically he was sitting next to a girl who had not driven a car for ten years. The concept of a global positioning system was a mystery to her and he had been obliged to use his smartphone to compensate for her total lack of a sense of direction after they had driven around the same roundabout three times looking for the exit back to London.

The real problem, of course, was that with the radio on and Kate chattering about the party extras which she wanted to pick up from Saskia’s house, his mind was running on overtime and top speed about the conversation that he had just had with his father back at the Manor.

Just when he thought that he was starting to create some form of working relationship with his father, Charles Sheridan had confirmed his worst suspicions.

The rumours were true.

He had been looking at contract printing overseas. No decisions, not yet, but to him it really was a viable option. Other companies and publishers were doing it, so why couldn’t Sheridan Press?

But what really stung was that his father simply could not understand why Heath was so angry at not being informed when the market was already buzzing with rumours about the future of the Boston print works.

They had worked together for weeks on the new promotional campaign that Lucas was rolling out and not once, during all of those chatty business dinners and coffee breaks, had his father said one word about looking for other book printers.

Communication skills were clearly not a Sheridan strength.

Heath pressed his fingertips firmly into his forehead and tried to drill some insights and flashes of inspiration into his skull.

Perhaps he should be thanking Kate for providing him with a valid excuse to walk away from his father that morning and snatch the thinking time he desperately needed on his own.

The ramifications and pressure of what he needed to do and how fast he needed to work burned through his mind, so that by the time Kate bump parked the truck of a car onto the pavement outside her house, his nerves were shot, he felt exhausted and his shoulders ached with tension.

It was with huge relief that Heath could finally stretch out his long legs and he ran around to her side of the vehicle to open the driver’s door for her.

‘How very gallant.’ She smiled and grabbed her bag from the foot well of the car.
