“A-Already?” She frowned. “But of course, come in.” She invited, opening the door wider.

“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.

“No, we’re good. Thank you, ma’am.” I said. “I need both of us to stay alert today.” I exposed myself as my sharp gaze turned to Panther. This time he noticed, but said nothing.

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.

“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.
