Chapter 349: Friday. Aegis Group Headquarters, Cairo, Egypt.

"Vara?" Alec calld out.

"In here." Vara's voice echoed off the tile coming from the bathroom.

He circled the bed to the bathroom. When they didn't have guests, the guys fought over who got to use it. Between the shower that could host a party and the two person soaker tub, it was lavish living.

Vara lay with only her head poking out of the bubble bath. Her hair was wet and draped over the side, dripping onto a towel. She continued to stare at the bubbles, not looking at him. Whatever had happened at the airport must have been bad. It wasn't his place to pry or ask questions. His security clearance probably wasn't high enough, but damn it. She was upset, and he wanted to fix it.

"What's wrong?" He eased himself to the floor with his back to the wall and faced her.

She didn't answer much less acknowledge that he'd spoken. Her eyes were empty and wherever her mind was, it wasn't here.
