Jack was the man who was prosecuted for rape by Emily but didn't get convicted. He used to be her boss.

'How well-informed! There came the call soon after my first chat with Emily,' Elara thought. She agreed to meet with the caller tomorrow.

Lysander said calmly, "Not a bad thing. Without work, she will feel bored since I am away."
