The stubborn she was, Nick couldn't persuade Leena to drop the Russia trip plan. Devin would surely disagree with this idea. Nick wondered how Leena was going to convince him if she desperately wanted to meet Morvena. ''Enger is keeping an eye on you.'' He stated the fact. ''I bet Devin will not agree.''
''Hence we are not telling the truth to Devin. We are going to Japan. I have a friend in Japan whom I studied with in college. He is a very influential man there. I helped him during our project when we were studying, so he owes me a favor. I will call him and inform our visit right away.'' Leena said tactfully.
''You had a guy friend in your college?'' That was a surprise to Nick. Except for Reese, Jane, and occasionally some girl's names, he had never heard about guy friends from her mouth.
