“After you.” I turned to Panther, stepping aside. Tiago cared much more for him than he did for me, so it would only be appropriate. Right?

“I’ll go get Tiago. Please, make yourselves comfortable!” She called out, leaving the room.

“Can I offer you some of our best liquor, sir?” A maid asked. Panther was just about to open his mouth, but I raised my hand to stop him, and kindly declined.

Only after a while, Panther huffed to break the silence. “You alright with being here, Marvin?” He asked. probably thinking my behavior had to do with something else.

“Then is it about Elena?” He pushed for an answer. “Did you see her? What did she say?”

He threatened her.

“What makes you think I hate her, Marvin?” I felt as if I had screwed up as Panther’s different expressions flew all over the place like he was trying to figure me out.

“Nothing. I’m sorry. I’m just tired.” I covered with a smile. The sides of my lips were hurting because of this facade, but I had to hold on for just a while longer.
