"Alright then."
The computer engineer once again sat down in front of the computer to review the surveillance footage.
Fetching the video would take a bit of time, and Ellinor was getting a tad tired standing around. She scanned the room, looking for a chair to park herself on.
And just as she was on the hunt for a seat, her gaze once again collided with Theo's deep-set eyes.
Theo was also there, given that it was about the real story behind his son's burn injury.
But he didn't approach or say anything and just found himself a chair where he could chill out and smoke a cigarette, looking like he couldn't care less about what was going down.
The smoke blurred her vision, making it impossible for Ellinor to read Theo's mind. She had a hunch that he wasn't all that concerned about his wife and child.
Just then, a slender hand passed her a bottle of mineral water.
Ellinor looked at the water, then up at Bartlett's handsome and gentle smile. "Thanks." She said as she took the bottle.
She was indeed a bit parched. She uncapped the bottle, took a sip, and threw a glance at Patricia sitting nearby.
