After Lucas finished eating, he soon fell asleep once again. As Sophia watched him, she thought about her plan to discreetly investigate Alexander, especially after that conversation they had, and an idea struck her.Sophia quickly retrieved her phone from her wallet and dialed the number of an old friend from her life with Alexander, Christina Mallory, who had previously worked alongside him.Christina's warm voice filled the line as she picked up, grinning from ear to ear. She was so thrilled to hear from Sophia after all this time. "Christina! How are you doing? It has been a while, hasn’t it? Are you still in town?" Sophia asked, making her voice chirpier than it was to seem more friendly."Sophia, It has indeed. Yes, I am in town!"
