[ she listens intently to travis's explanation. that was it? an off-beat comment about her age, and the mere mention of the chinese man asking for jobs? goodness, what sort of supersleuth is this man? how utterly inconvenient. ]
I do appreciate your openness, Mr. Travis. But to be quite frank, I've no interest in giving you the opportunity to let my secrets out.
