Amidst the talk between Alexander and Ethan, Ms. Reynolds watched quietly. She's smart and had worked with Alexander for a long time, so she understood a lot about his moods. She saw Ethan's strong desire to find out the truth. She knew Ethan could help, but she also knew some things needed to be kept secret.
Ms. Reynolds could tell that Alexander was thinking hard about working with Ethan. He knew Ethan really wanted to find out what was going on. But Alexander also knew that some things about the company couldn't be shared with everyone.
"Mr. Marks, I think working together on this could be good, but I can only tell you some things. I can't tell you everything because some things need to stay secret," said Alexander, being careful about what he could share.
Ethan understood. "I get it, Mr. Harrington. I'll be responsible with the information you give me."
