Kiara was talking while glancing at Edward Wheeler, who was scratching his ear and trying to look unfazed. Holding the cordless phone and swaying her slender waist, she walked straight into the bathroom under someone's watchful eye.
Once the door was closed, nothing inside could be heard.
The little claws in Edward Wheeler's heart were itching, but most of all, he felt an irritating urge regarding the behavior of this little woman.
From the very moment she had shut the door, with that nearly provocative look in her eyes, Edward Wheeler was sure, beyond a doubt, that she was doing it to deliberately annoy him!
Kiara crossed her legs and sat on the toilet, continuing her chat with Zoel Cohen.
"Do you have any connections at Linville's newspaper agency?"
"The Director occasionally drinks with me; we have a decent relationship. What about it?"
"Could you arrange for my friend to go abroad for Chinese Studies, for more than three months? I'll cover the expenses."
