Her eyes widen and she meets my gaze through the window.
Lia:I did nothing wrong today.
Adrian:You touched Yan twice and you just refused a direct order. Three.
Lia:You’re impossible.
Adrian:I will show you how impossible I can truly become if you don’t get in here in the next minute.
Lia glares at me through the window, her temper rising with every second before she types.
Lia:No.
Adrian:Then tell Yan to come.
A frown etches her delicate brow.
Lia:Why?
Adrian:So he can pay for touching you.
Lia:He didn’t do it. I did.
Adrian:Doesn’t matter.
The fact that she’s defending him makes his case worse, and the more she takes Yan’s side, the deeper his grave gets.
Lia:You need help, okay?
Adrian:And that’s four.
Lia jerks upright, throwing her phone beside Jeremy. He stares up at her with unsure eyes, but soon smiles when she kisses his cheeks and probably tells him she won’t be long.
Yan stands as well, but remains by Jeremy’s side.
Kolya, who must’ve witnessed the entire thing, gets to his feet and grabs his laptop. “I’ll be in the annex if you need me.”
“What?” I ask when he doesn’t attempt to go.
“Why do you keep Yan as her guard when you don’t trust him around her?”
“I’m testing him.”
“You’re breaking him in.”
“Same thing.”
“Still.”
“Stop spoiling him, Kolya. He’s not a kid anymore. In fact, he’s more cunning and works under the surface deeper than you’re blinded to see.”
“You’re only saying that because he’s close to Mrs. Volkov.”
“And you’re only defending him because you refuse to recognizes what he’s turned into. Can’t you see it?”
He frowns. “See what?”
“Yan is not the little kid who used to follow you around wherever you went.”
