"Yeah. Are you still on her tail?"

"Yes. I think this might take a while, Michael said, not looking forward to waiting on Evelyn for that long.

"Don't bother with that anymore. You can go home. I'm going to reach out to Rayna and find out what's up with Evelyn. And now that I know Evelyn will be at Stone Corp, I think it's best I pay her a visit at the office. If she won't come to me, I should go to her," Sandra said thoughtfully.
