Richard Vale stopped breathing.
His eyes narrowed.
“Sophie?”
“Yes.”
“Sophie Mercer?”
Olivia grinned. “See? Very mysterious.”
Richard stepped closer.
Recognition turned to disbelief.
Then he said slowly, “Sophie, I’ve been looking for you for fourteen months.”
The laughter vanished.
Olivia blinked.
“For Sophie?”
Richard ignored her.
“Were you working with Halden Risk Advisory last year?”
My stomach tightened.
“Yes.”
His expression changed completely.
“You were the analyst.”
Silence.
Evan approached from behind us.
“What analyst?”
Richard looked at his son.
“The person who uncovered the Meridian procurement fraud.”
