Arthur leaned around the machine so he could see Violet. “Do you have a minute to spare for a chat anytime soon?”
His hushed tone and intense look intrigued her. “Sure. The group has their food and coffee and we’re not busy right now if it’s urgent.”
He glanced behind him. “Not here. I’d like to discuss something in private.”
Now she was really interested. “I do have to pick up a few things from the stationers. Shall I come to your office?”
He chewed his top lip for a moment. “I’d rather not. There are too many people hanging around there lately.”
“Okay.” Violet was confused and Scarlett who caught the tail end of the conversation had a frown so deep Violet was worried it might become permanent. “What do you suggest?”
“Have we done something wrong?” Scarlett blurted before he could answer. “You’re scaring us a little.”
Violet stiffened, remembering how he had been so against them and the café not so long ago, but he laughed. Only, it wasn’t the sort of laugh that made you want to join in which was almost worse than his seriousness.
“I have a little problem that I think Violet could help me out with. I just don’t want all the busybodies knowing about it.”
Violet raised an eyebrow. “If you can tell me who doesn’t fall into that category, we might be able to avoid them.”
