CHAPTER 24
We took the first flight back to Frankfurt the next morning. Saturday. The previous evening, I had called Julia at home and told her she shouldn't make any firm plans for the weekend. We were bringing an important visitor, I said and gave her a list of key staff we would want available to meet him. I also gave her instructions to arrange a light lunch for all in the board room. Detailed arrangements could be finalised when we got in later that morning.
Once on the plane, I wet through my mailbox, my commitments and appointments for the coming week. It was a pile of the usual stuff but nothing which couldn't wait until Monday. However, one note said that Melo wanted to speak to me as soon as I got back. I called him.
"Oh, hi," he said. "Are you back in town?"
"On our way."
