She thanked him effusively for the proofs of the Rybix shoot and asked him about his availability for another job. Just before saying goodbye, she asked casually, ‘Peter, you don’t have the home telephone number of Natasha Perry, do you?’ ‘Natasha who?’ ‘Perry. One of the girls in the Rybix shoot.’ ‘I’ve probably got it here somewhere,’ he said. ‘Why?’ ‘Because I need it, Peter. Would you have a look?’ ‘I will if you give me Charlie’s number,’ he said. ‘Her name is not Charlie,’ Beth retorted. ‘She’ll always be Charlie to me. Hang on, I’ll go have a look.’ In less than a minute he was back with the number. ‘Remember you owe me, Beth. Send Charlie around here on another errand. She’s the sweetest creature I’ve ever met.’ Beth laughed. ‘Don’t be offended, Peter, but I think she likes her men just a touch more masculine than you.’ As soon as she’d said goodbye and put down the receiver, she picked it up again and dialled the number.
