“Alright.”
Emily Blair’s tone was icy. “But if you keep looking at me with that scheming glint in your eyes, I’ll take it back. The offer’s off the table.”
Tristan Davis stared at her with that same unnervingly bright gaze, as if he was dreaming up something outrageous.
A vague sense of foreboding crept over Emily.
Tristan just shrugged. “Let’s put a pin in it for now. I haven’t made up my mind. I’ll let you know when I do.”
Emily curled her lips in annoyance. “Fine.”
She dropped her gaze and went back to studying Matthew Ross’s file.
All the copies of Matthew Ross’s overseas exchange applications were here. Emily leafed through the documents but found nothing out of the ordinary—he was perfectly qualified to receive government sponsorship for his studies abroad.
Allison had also managed to bring back most of Matthew’s travel records from recent years. Because he occasionally attended international conferences, his itinerary included several trips overseas.
The country he visited most often was Astoria. Over the past few years, he’d been abroad more than ten times, always for academic exchanges or lectures—each trip fully justified.
“If the local police couldn’t find him, maybe he really did flee abroad,” Emily said.
She tapped the names of a few countries on the list. “These are the ones we need to focus on.”
