Nora Scott didn't resist, frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "A friend."
Pedro Langley squinted his eyes slightly, "Very close?"
He couldn't hear what the other person on the phone was saying, but just listening to Nora Scott's words, it seemed like they were discussing business, though her tone was extremely relaxed and casual. It was clear that they had a close relationship, more than just ordinary acquaintances.
Undeniably, he felt a rush of jealousy.
"It's okay." Nora Scott answered somewhat vaguely.
"..."
Just hearing her answer, it was obvious that "okay" didn't quite capture the depth of the relationship.
After a moment, Pedro Langley asked, "When did you meet?"
"Five years ago."
"Have you been in contact all this time?"
"Yes."
"..."
The jealousy seemed to swell even more, bubbling and rolling.
