"The mastermind behind last night's incident."
Daniel Cooper answered very succinctly, as if there was no hint of concealment.
Amelia stared unblinkingly at him, "So, was that found out?"
Daniel maintained eye contact with her and repeated Nathan Taylor's words very calmly, and only after a while did he slowly say, "…Nathan suspects that it was orchestrated by Lilian Parker."
Amelia asked, "And what do you think?"
Daniel took a small step forward, barefooted as both of them were in the heated room, his cold and slender toes touched her soft, pink ones, "I never rely on intuition. I only believe in evidence."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, still holding the cigarette, to touch her cheek and looked down at her clear eyes with a smile on his lips, "Any more questions?"
Amelia frowned and dodged his hand, "Get your smoky paws off me."
