“I own a small company that provides translation and linguistic validation services.”
“So where do you work, Alexander?”Īlexander looked at Shawn. “Ah,” Christian said, lacing his fingers together in an attempt to keep his hands still.Īlexander had a very odd expression on his face: tight, almost pained.īut Alexander didn’t move, his hands in his pockets, his shoulders straight and his eyes on Christian. “She went with Professor Rutledge to get her assignment.” “Nice to meet you,” Shawn said, reaching out to shake Alexander’s hand. “Hey,” Christian said, trying to sound casual and indifferent.
