“I suppose  I could put you on as a fourth -year cadet,”he mused. "The pay

's about what you're getting now, and if you're really your uncles's niece you'll pick up the rest quickly enough."

"I would...oh, I would," she said quickly. "Please give me a chance , at least."

"Tricky", he said ."After today, I wonder how well you'd fit into our little team. All these fireworks are bad for morale, I'm the one who makes the decisions --and I don't take kindly to getting static, even from pretty young ladies. And you'd have to stop seducing my journos off for stolen moments of passion in the canteen."

Dinah bristled momentarily until she caught the glint in his eye, but she caught it too late to keep from blurting out."You know I didn't do that."

"Do I?"he grinned. " You look extremely seductive to me."

"Thank you." Dinah replied demurely."But then this isn't the newsroom , either."

Whatever he was about to reply got lost in the arrival of a newcomer to the restaurant, a woman who arrived at their table without either Dinah of Conan noticing her.

" Conan darling! I thought you told me you were working tongiht?" The speaker had tried to make her comment lighthearted, but Dinah sensed the hostility behind the bantering tone. The tall redhead in a glitering green gown that revealed as much as it covered stood smiling fondly down at Conan, every aspect of her attitude crying for his attention.Dinah felt an instant pang of jealousy as her escort looked up at the redhead, but his manner quickly dispelled it. The curtness of his tone surprised Dinah as much as it did the other woman .

"I am working," he said, making no effort to hide his obvious annoyance at the interruption. It was plain he had no intention of providing introductions, a gesture so patently rude that the redhead blushed fiercely before abruptly excusing herself and slinking away to where her handsome escort waited at another table. Conan sat glowering into his coffee, clearly aware of his rudeness but stubbornly avoiding having to justify it.

“我想我可以把你当成四年级的实习生来对待，”他若有所思地说。“工资就是

你现在所得到的，如果你真的是你叔叔的侄女，你会很快学会其他内容的。“”

“我会的……哦，我会的，”她很快地说。“请给我一个机会，至少。”

“有点难，”他说，“从今天起，我想知道你将怎样融入我们的小团队。”所有花言巧语都不利于士气，我才是做决定的人——而且我也不喜欢听别人有杂音，即使是漂亮的年轻女士也是如此。并且，你必须停止引诱我的记者们去食堂去偷享激情时光。”

黛娜勃然大怒，然后，她捕捉到了他眼在闪光，但她发现得太晚了，无法阻止自己不脱口而出。“你知道我没有去引诱人。”

“我知道吗?”他咧嘴一笑。“你对我来说非常诱人。”

“谢谢你。”黛娜认真地回答。“但这里也不是编辑部。”

无论他要回答什么，声音都被一个新到餐厅的人打断了。这位女士来到他们的餐桌旁，柯南和黛娜都没有注意到。

“柯南亲爱的!我记得你告诉我你在工作?”说话者试图让她的话语显得轻松愉快，但黛娜察觉到她调侃语气背后的敌意。那个高个子的红发女士穿着一件闪闪发光的绿色长裙，露出的和遮盖的一样多，她站在那里，深情地微笑着看着柯南，她的每一个表情都强烈渴望引起他的注意。当她的同伴抬起头来望着红头发的时候，黛娜立刻感到一阵嫉妒的痛苦，但他的态度很快就把它驱散了。他生硬的语气使黛娜感到吃惊，也让另一个女人同样感到吃惊。

“我就在工作啊。”他说，毫不掩饰他对被打扰的明显不满。很显然，他不想去介绍双方，这是一种非常无礼的姿态，以至于红头发女士的脸突然涨得很红，然后突然告辞，偷偷地溜到她那漂亮的同伴旁等候的另一张桌子旁。柯南坐着，怒目而视他的咖啡，他清楚地意识到自己的粗鲁，但却固执地拒绝为之辩护。
