Morgan Ellis picked up May perfectly on time. He stopped in front of the university with an ordinary-looking car, and the girl sat on the passenger seat and fastened the seat belt before Morgan could even consider getting off to open the door of the rear seat for her.
«How are you feeling?» he asked as soon as she was on.
«Fine!»
«You didn't catch a cold, luckily. Did Leo Thorne scold you badly?»
«Not really,» May chuckled. «On the contrary, he ordered me to seduce your boss.»
«We expected this much.»
«We? You and Chris Lindt?»
«Exactly.»
«Are you those behind the scandal with Lorelei's pictures?»
«We... We might be...»
«Is it because Chris Lindt lost the elections? Did he mess up Lorelei's reputation out of spite?»
«I believe spite was part of the reason, but the elections definitely aren't,» Morgan said. «I mean, Senator Lindt is a rational man. He wouldn't lose control over his feelings over an election he knew from the start he had no hope of winning.»
