Amelia Cobb held her phone as she left the private room, just as Shaun Perkins was preparing to leave.
"Mr. Perkins."
"Miss Amelia."
Amelia didn't beat around the bush: "When did the D&T Group and Jones Aviation start partnering on new routes?"
At her question, Perkins' heart fluttered. His first thought was, how did Amelia know?
This matter had always been a secret. President Robinson repeatedly stressed not to reveal it to the media, and we could only act as the third-largest shareholder.
Yet, the question Amelia asked was a clear sign that their secret was out.
"I'm not in charge of this project personally, so I can't tell you the exact timeline, but it seems to have started recently."
Perkins could only give her a vague timeline; if he said it started in May or June, Amelia, with her sharp wit, would easily guess the truth.
"May I ask, did you take care of Yvonne Jones earlier?"
