reeked of intimacy and he couldn’t help glowering at the couple. To his mind, they were getting far too familiar and he would have to have a word with them—remind them that they weren’t there for fun but had a job to do.
‘Something has upset you, Adam?’
‘What?’ His gaze swivelled round when Matthias interrupted his thoughts.
‘The way you were glaring at that young couple, I assumed they must have done something to upset you.’ Matthias’s tone was bland but the look he gave him was far too knowing for Adam’s liking.
‘I prefer it if members of my team don’t fraternise during working hours,’ he said shortly, knowing that he sounded like a leftover from the Victorian era.
‘Ah, I see. It’s important to have clear guidelines so everyone understands what is expected of them, although it must be difficult for you to ensure that people stay within the accepted limits.’
Adam scowled when he heard the amusement in his friend’s voice. ‘I came here to do a job, not win a popularity contest, if that’s what you mean. If the members of this team won’t abide by my rules then they will be sent back to England.’
‘But all Daniel was doing was removing a piece of lint from Dr Harris’s hair. Hardly a major crime, I would have thought.’ Matthias smiled faintly. ‘You seem a little…sensitive where that young woman is concerned. It isn’t the first time I’ve noticed you glaring at her.’
‘Maybe I’ve had good reason,’ he replied tersely because he hadn’t realised that he’d made his feelings quite so obvious. ‘Anyway, what did you want to speak to me about?’ he added, swiftly changing the subject because he didn’t want to talk about Kasey or his feelings for her—whatever they were. Telling her that he’d been concerned about her safety the other night was something else that had been playing on his mind. He’d tried telling himself that he would have been equally concerned for any member of the team but even he wasn’t convinced it was true.
The thought did little to improve his already fragile temper and he glowered at the other man. ‘Don’t tell me we have another problem on our hands.’
