She spoke, "Yes! He's the young president of Brilliant Audit, Sawyer Clark. He's Valerie's son.
I immediately realized that she was referring to Sawyer. It had been more than half a year since I last saw him.
I couldn't help responding, "We haven't talked in a long time. I don't know what happened to him."
"Well, he had a man and a child with him. Is he gay? I noticed that the two of them seemed to be very close. The child was only two or three months old, so tiny and cute."
I was a little dazed, so I simply asked, "Could you take a picture for me?"
"What? Why do you suddenly want a picture?"
"Help me take pictures of them. Sorry to trouble you!"
I suspected that the man might be Ian, and that child might be Monique's child.
She hung up the phone with me after agreeing. I called Ian, but there was no answer.
After thinking for a while, I called Sawyer and the call went through. "Miss Reid, why are you suddenly calling me?"
"Mr. Clark, are you in Ucrebury? I have a friend who's in a bit of a situation there. Can you go over and take a look for me?"
Sawyer paused for a few seconds and answered, "I'm in Mesville. Is it serious? I'll ask someone in Ucrebury to check it out."
"It's alright then. I'll call and ask someone else. I've got to go, I'll reach out to you another time." Why was Sawyer lying to me?
Kelsey's had sent me a message. In a big building in the Ucrebury city center, there Sawyer was - dressed in a brown coat with both hands in his pockets. He looked handsome and relaxed. Though the photo's resolution wasn't that great, the haggard look on his face was hard to miss.
Ian was next to him, wearing a brown sweater and casual pants. The two of them were pushing a stroller in front of them. This was a rather eye-catching scene.
I called Kelsey again. She picked up right away; she was probably looking at her phone at the time.
