Behind him two of the network guys were speaking with Vince. The taping hadn’t gone as well as he would have liked. Since dropping Harper off at the airport he’d been edgy and distracted. Nor could he be certain that she’d taken his advice and booked a room at the Pretoria Capital Hotel until he heard from his buddy Giles.
He told himself just because he enjoyed venturing off the beaten track didn’t mean she would be foolish enough to go somewhere she could get into trouble. But until he knew she was safe, Ashton wouldn’t be able to shake the sensation that he’d made a mistake letting her go by herself halfway around the world to find a father she’d never met. Even after she shoved his offer of help back at him he couldn’t get her out of his head. He was worried about her emotional state and the fact that she was a woman unused to traveling alone.
Vince came to stand beside him. His manager’s lack of chatter felt as ominous as the clouds above the city.
