Just as she was about to examine the ledger the telephone began to ring. She was surprised to hear Callum's voice. "Sorry ,love,but the project will t...ke a bit longer,I have to stay here until tomorrow,fuck this!" Don't worry sexy lover,I'll be okay,I got the garden to do and I'll start painting the ensuite bathroom later," she said."I know,but I am really pissed off ,I told them to have all the plans ready so that I could look over them and be on the evening train," he said,there was. Isuppose I might have thought the same thing if I'd been him andblindly believed every word she'd told him. Under the circumstances,it was a perfectly reasonable assumption. Unfortunately, it justwasn't a very good one.He waved at me.Did he really think I hadn't seen him standing over there?That was probably the case. He wasn't that bright and it would be solike him. In fact, I wouldn't have been the least bit surprised if hethought this was just some chance encounter. He simply couldn't. “Sure,” Jake said.He got up, not looking at Béla and began getting cans down to prepare a meal.“I will do it!” Frank told him quietly.Jake didn’t answer. He didn’t really believe that Frank would kill him if he broke Béla’s heart – Frank was too civilized for that, but he didn’t want to argue, especially not with Béla in the room right with them.“What’s that beeping sound?” Frank asked, distracted. A quiet, high-pitched beep like one of those new electronic oven timers was faintly calling from. Since I was not in my neighborhood after the quarrel, I just entered thefirst barber shop I found. To my surprise the barber was not a man but abeautiful woman. It turned out it was not a barber shop but a beautyparlor. Before walking away she stared at me and told me "what can I dofor you boy?" Her voice was kind of soothing. Finally I answered herthat I wanted to get my hair cut. She smiled and invited me to one ofthe chairs in the parlor. I obeyed her and sat down in the pink chairshe.
