President Lee dismissed James from his study and tried to figure out what Mina could have been doing at Leading Incorporated. The company was small, but successful, and the Lee group had collaborated with it a few times on projects ranging from solar conversion to processor development. The incorporation was easily in the top twenty percent of influential companies in Pan, and the Lee group often used their services to appear non-biased to the public.
Ian could not recall Mina ever mentioning knowing anyone from Leading, but James had told him that Mina mentioned meeting with an investor. The problem was that Ian did not believe her. He had already done some investigating and found that the Rue family and the Lamar family were extremely close to one another, and he had a feeling that one of the Lamar children had been at the dinner Mina attended.
