"It's not easy to trace," Gregory asserted confidently, continuing, "When you went to see Jane yesterday, someone with an agenda probably spotted you. They'd want to erase any trace of their past, moving faster than us in covering their tracks."

"Instead of chasing shadows, the best move is to lay low for now. Let the dust settle, and once their guard is down, we can start connecting the dots."

"But the contact I've had with my mom yesterday and today goes way beyond the normal interactions between a designer and a client."

I raised my concern, "Wouldn't it be hard to shake off their suspicion?"

This shadowy figure's tactics bore a striking resemblance to another from two years ago, both adept at staying concealed. Deeply cunning, they wouldn't easily let their guard down.

"That way, we have a legitimate reason for your recent frequent interactions with Jane, offering her protection in plain sight."
