Baron Lawrence didn't mind being spotted; in his worldview, you don't mess with a friend's partner. It's perfectly normal for him not to remember Emily Goldsmith's name; it would be abnormal if he kept tabs on her all the time. He furrowed his brow slightly and asked, "Emily Goldsmith, isn't she in Linton City?"
If she were, Terry Leigh would usually bring her along.
Rupert Harris leaned back in his chair, his features relaxing into a more laid-back demeanor as he loosened his shirt's tie and replied, "Yeah, she went to Yluria Country for an art exhibition. Her favorite painting master happens to be holding an exhibit there, so she left two days early."
"A guy?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, is the painting master a guy?"
Enna Clark really wanted to cover his mouth.
Asking such a question was akin to suggesting that if it were a guy, you shouldn't let your girlfriend go see it?
