Alex
I reached Russia and directly went to her rented apartment as told by my people who I issued to keep an eye on her back when I sent her here.
I had received a message from Matt that he has released her. He got hold of the Mafia people.
As I reached her house, I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. The door opened and Cassie was a little scared. When she saw me, she hugged me tightly.
“Alex!”
Her voice broke as she got emotional. She just hugged me tightly as I hugged her back. After a moment, she got away and wiped the tears off her face.
“Come in”
I nodded and went inside with her. The house was pretty small but looked safe.
“Do you want any drinks?”
“Nope. How are you?”
“Fine… because of you”
I smiled. “Hm. You know… when I heard that you risked your life for me…”
“Well, it was also because they gave me no choice--”
“When you do good, you should learn to take the praise, Cassie”
She smiled softly. “Oh uh okay”
