Bollywood Comes to The Chatsfield. Tara Pammi
now, it could provide her with an insulated way to join the living again.
Because she still wasn’t sure she could handle being around too many people.
‘I’m perfectly capable of handling a client for one night,’ Tanya said, feeling like she could do more than breathe and function again.
‘Then you’d better hurry,’ Raj replied.
‘Please tell me I can take the new Audi,’ Tanya said, feeling a thrill.
Pulling her towards him for a hug, Raj kissed her temple. ‘Of course. He’ll be landing in a couple of hours. The mini fridge in the rear is stocked and the petrol tank is full. I’ll key in the route in the GPS device. You know the protocol with a high-profile client, right?’
‘Yep. I’ll sign the confidentiality agreement and the rest. Any particular quirks of this client that I should know about?’ she asked, remembering an American businesswoman she had driven around three years ago who wanted to be addressed as Ma’am.

‘You probably won’t get to see the inside of it,’ Raj added, and then winked at her. ‘But I’m sure you’ll have a great evening anyway.’
