I calmly nodded and said, "Yes, I went, but you weren't there. I didn't stay long and left."
"Um, I heard you talked to Nora alone. What did you ask her?"
Caleb's tone sounded guilty. He waited motionlessly for my answer.
"What could I ask her? Didn't you tell me she was very diligent? I just praised her a bit. She is quite timid. We barely talked."
Seeing me still calm, Caleb sighed in relief.
I continued slowly, "By the way, where did you go this afternoon? Even your assistant didn't know where you went."
Caleb picked up a piece of beef and put it in my bowl. He answered, "I went to see a client. I was in a hurry and forgot to tell him."
"What kind of client still needs you to visit personally?"
"It's an important client. A personal visit shows sincerity. Besides, you know me. I like to be thorough. I don't feel comfortable leaving it to others."
After hearing Caleb's words, I didn't say anything else. We quietly ate, appearing peaceful.
At night, I lay in bed, unable to sleep. I only sat up quietly after hearing soft snores beside me.
After making sure Caleb was asleep, I took his phone. I unlocked it and checked.
But there was nothing on it as if it was set up for me to see.
