I don't really know about that. I mean I would like to but working at the hotel. It may be difficult." I doubt it, Millie. How about we meet in recept...on, and if eyebrows are raised and sharp intakes of breath are heard we can go somewhere else."She laughed. "If you put it like that then yes. That would be nice. What time?" How about seven." I can just about do that. See you then."I was in reception at six fifty-five. Angela was on the desk so I told her that Millie was joining me for. Isabel knew it.
