Ivan raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "When you were in the countryside, 1 visited you once on a business trip. I was in the mayor's car at the time." He continued, "I didn't want to disturb you, so I just took a quick look from a distance and left. Every year, I'd go back to check on you, though you were unaware.
