Finbar paused for a long moment, turning Rachel’s – or apparently Marietta’s – words over and over. Rachel was an alias, which, sure, people had aliases, and he had even used one a couple of times when he wanted to ensure his privacy. But his understanding had been that she had been working for an event planner or something to that extent… “Well, Marietta,” he said with a small chuckle, “it’s a pleasure to meet you, too. I mean, you are the Marietta who’s friends with Cho and who asked me to meet to discuss a matter of a rather sensitive nature, right?”
Drawing in a deep breath, he cleared his throat. “And I’m guessing you don’t actually work for an event manager if you need an alias for it.”
