The Secret Keeper (2016)
“Any cars follow him? Any phone calls received during his absence? But I didn’t want to alarm him by pouncing, so waited to see if he volunteered anything. He didn’t, so at dinner I asked.
“Anybody try to reach you for a job while you were gone?” I asked—casually, I thought.
He smiled. “Yeah, as a matter of fact. Two people left numbers for me.” He looked at me for a moment, as if reading my mind—he was getting pretty good at that. I got the impression he was deliberately dangling a string in fr...ont of my nose.
He waited until I opened my mouth to ask who. Then, his smile broadened and he said, “Two women—referrals from other people I’ve already worked for.” He paused again while I gave a mental sigh of relief, then added, “And no, nobody followed me.”

“Hello?”
