Chasing (3)

«Can you lend me your phone?» Vera whispered, at some point.

«Sure,» he said.

«Mine was lost during the mission. Ethan found it but forgot to give it back to me.»

«Exactly. I'll send him a message with your phone, so he'll know where we are.»

«Do you know his number by heart?»

«No, but I know mine.»

«You do? Oh, I also do,» he said.

«No way. I told you only once,» she chuckled. «It's impossible.»

«Is this it?»

She widened her eyes in shock.

«It is,» she mumbled. How could he remember it so easily?

Was he one of those people with perfect memory? It would explain - in part - his success. If he was a genius, it was no surprise he could find a company and see it succeed.
