"Do ... you have an employee named Fred Johnson?"
"Fred Johnson? Oh, there it is. He's one of the systems analysts at my company. What's wrong?" Arthur asked.
"I-I see. Has he been with your company for a long time?"
Arthur was silent for a moment, trying to remember. "I forget exactly, but it seems like it's been around six years?" Arthur replied, looking dubious.
"It's been quite a while, huh," Kalea commented, smiling bitterly. And Kalea was able to find the man because of her relationship with her father's boss. If she didn't know Arthur, it seemed like Kalea would never have known that Fred was still in this town.
"Is he your acquaintance? Your father?"
Arthur's question made Kalea flinch in surprise and the girl immediately shook her head quickly. "Un-uncle! He's one of my very distant uncles," Kalea replied, lying without thinking of any other suitable reason.
