“He seemed scared after he told me that…well, his mommy fell asleep while standing.”
At least he believes she fell asleep.
“Sir.”
“What?”
“May I speak freely?”
I raise a brow. “When haven’t you?”
“This isn’t right.”
“This?”
“All of this.” He motions with his head at the closed bedroom door. “Her here. Now.”
“Is Yan bitching to you?”
“No.”
“You don’t have to protect him, Kolya. You’re spoiling him.”
“This isn’t about Yan and you’re well aware of that.
“Let me worry about things here while you keep an eye on what’s happening in the rest of the brotherhood. We cannot be left behind.”
“We won’t, but she…”
“Stop talking about her, Kolya. It’s done. She’s here and that’s that.”
“She fainted, sir.”
“How would you know that?”
“People don’t just fall asleep standing. I’m not Jeremy.”
“She’ll be fine.”
“What if she—”
“Kolya,” I cut him off, my voice hardening. “Drop it.”
“This could backfire.”
“I said to stop fucking talking about her.”
He gives me a disapproving stare, one that says, ‘you’re fucked up and I regret being by your side for thirty years,’ but he knows not to test me in circumstances like these, so he nods and leaves.
I unbutton my shirt on my way back to my room.
This will be a long fucking night.
