At that moment Valentina couldn't hold it in anymore.
Her eyes had been fixed on Raymond since they entered the car, her heart still racing with everything that had just happened. The calm way he sat, like nothing extraordinary had just gone down, made her feel even more confused.
So, at that moment, she finally spoke, her voice soft but filled with wonder.
"Raymond… I don't think you quite understand what just happened back there."
Then Raymond turned slightly, looking at her with a calm smile.
Valentina continued. "The way… the manner in which you joined—how Adrian respected you, how everything just went on so seamlessly, like everything had been rehearsed. It was just too much. And… you didn't even say anything."
She shook her head slowly, still trying to piece it all together.
"I didn't quite understand. That Adrian guy… is he the friend you said you have inside GSK?" Her eyes searched his face, needing clarity.
