“No. I am here for nefarious reasons,” he deadpans. “I was in the neighborhood and thought we could do a quick lunch.” He raises a bag of goodies from the David Jones Food Hall.

“Ooh cocky …”

“There you go again.” His eyes crinkle. “Why don’t you get your head out of my pants and tell me about the job?”
