“I've heard a lot about you, how you fight against corruption in this place. I am Daniel White, a friend of the Deltons and new resident of this town.”
Arthur's eyes widened. Daniel White is the one Samuel had told him about, the ex-husband of Samay Fraga, the woman who intrigued him so much.
“It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. White,” they both shook hands in a "cordial" greeting while looking at each other with intrigue and suspicion.
“Who is the beautiful woman at your side?” he asked, turning his attention to Sam, who sank deeper into Arthur.
“That's my girlfriend Sam," he introduced her warily. Daniel stared at her curiously, for he would recognize those eyes anywhere.
