Jase had already identified the new member of staff before George signalled her to join them. Although dressed exactly as the other waitresses bustling around the tables, this one stood out. Tall and poised she crossed the floor like some high class model on a catwalk. Her almost regal carriage was totally at variance with the uniform she wore. His concern increased as she acknowledged George’s introduction with a cool, almost haughty nod of her elegant head. Although her greeting was formal, her dark eyes held a mysterious sparkle. “How do you do, Mr McEwan?” The reply tripled his anxiety. Her accent smacked of privilege and private schooling. “What brings you to Southland, Debbie? Or more to the point, to Riversleigh?” “I prefer Debra or Deb please.” Jase noted she managed to look down her nose even though he stood at least twenty centimetres taller. She stared him dead in the eye. “I needed a change and Mr Rivers was kind enough to offer me the position.” “Yes, well I expect Mr Rivers will ensure you settle into your new role quickly.” His nod of dismissal was ignored. It took a light touch on her arm and a slight movement of George’s head for her to turn her back and step away. “George! For God’s sake, what were you thinking of? Look.” He pointed to where she stood undecided about what to do next. “She’s not a waitress. I’d bet my savings she’s never done a day’s work in her life.”
