"The CEO would not be out discussing deals if confidential talks were underway."

Interestingly I'm often in contact with Leslie.

She always replies quickly, even if she's at an airport mid flights.

But last week's email has not been replied too, which I find interesting, as it may mean negotiations are happening and too sensitive to speak of (my email was about negotiations).

Of course there could be many reasons for no reply, but it's very un-Leslie like, and I kind of view it as a positive.
