Public relations, to me, may be just for now (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pro tem

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for now' is the definition.
('pro tem' can be a synonym of 'for now')

'public relations to me may be' is the wordplay.
'public relations' becomes 'pr'.
'may be' is an anagram indicator.
'to'+'me'='tome'
'tome' with letters rearranged gives 'otem'.
'pr'+'otem'='PRO TEM'

'just' is the link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pro tem that I've seen before include "not indefinitely extended" , "Informally, for the time being" , "For the present" , "For the time being (Latin abbreviation)" , "For the time being, to the old Romans in short" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
