Chapter Nine

It was ridiculous to be disappointed, but Gina couldn’t shake the feeling that drew over her like a cloud as she finished the call from Mitch.

He’d cancelled dinner. Apparently, there’d been a crisis with one of his clients and he was on his way by Eurostar to Paris to sort things out. He hadn’t been too pleased himself, saying he’d had plans for her—for them both—which would now have to go on the backburner until after his trip.

Sinking back in her chair, she toyed with a stress ball on her desk and chastised herself for being disappointed about not seeing him. She should be focusing on her rapidly diminishing timescale for getting the photo. Costas knew about their lunchtime liaison at the hotel, she had no doubt of that. What surprised her was that he hadn’t called to check up on her. But as she’d told him about seeing Mitch that night, maybe he was holding off until tomorrow to make contact.

Now there was the small problem of his “source” informing Costas when she didn’t meet up with Mitch later, and had in fact gone home to her apartment alone.

Costas would call her. Maybe he’d even turn up at her place.

Hell. She would have to think on that. Nausea churned in her stomach at the very thought.

Having discarded the stress ball, she picked up her phone and switched it off. She then went in search of Lucy.

Her friend was at the reception desk, sticking flyers in envelopes. “We already have enough clients to fill the classes Pauline’s running on the charity day. I had a quick word and she said she’s happy to take another one in the afternoon and Grimley’s has offered us their ballroom to use for the session.”

“That’s really great.” Not for the first time, Gina thanked her lucky stars that Lucy had turned up when she’d been interviewing for a receptionist/admin assistant. She often thought of things even before Gina did, such as with the charity event they’d been planning for months, now less than two weeks away. “What would I do without you?”

“You couldn’t handle things without me,” Lucy said with a grin. When she saw Gina’s face, her expression turned concerned. “What’s wrong?”

“I was wondering if I could stay at your place tonight?”

“Of course. You don’t need to ask.” She stopped shoving flyers into envelopes. “Is it him? Has he been pestering you?”

Gina didn’t need to ask Lucy who she was referring to—it was evident from the tone of her voice. Since she’d told Lucy that she and Costas had split, her friend had taken every opportunity to assure Gina she’d done the right thing, and had also tried to shield her if Costas called the studio.

“If I stay at my place, I think he might.”

“Does he know about Mitchell?”

Gina turned her steady gaze on Lucy. “There’s not really anything to know.”

“Come on. The man strips you naked every time he looks at you. You’re not too immune where he’s concerned either.”

“And you’ve based that on what? One meeting?”

“I see what I see.
