Cutting Off All Ties

Laura - Wolves Inc Office Building, 3 weeks later

“How long will Paul keep avoiding me?” I ask as Dan stops the car in the underground parking lot.

“What do you mean? You see Paul every day.”

Dan stuffs a golden lock behind his ear and turns to me once the engine is off. I can see why Alisa can’t take her mind off of him.

“We may work in the same building and live in the same house, but he’s avoiding me. I mail his schedule and send him messages on the phone or through Irina. At the villa, he’s either away or always locked inside his room.”

“He used to do that when he was a teenager after his parents left. He’ll come around.”

I don’t want to poke into Paul’s past, so I drop the subject. Dan locks the car and follows me into the elevator.

I raise an eyebrow. “Where are you going? Do you have orders now to escort me everywhere?”

He chuckles. “No. I have to pick up a new laptop for Paul from the tech department. He tends to destroy them way too often these days.”
