Chapter 190

Levi could keep Miles. However, even if I was pissed at Arkady, he'd been my friend, not Levi's, so Montefiore had no business going to movies with him, regardless of Arkady's relationship with Miles. As for Priya and Rafael? They were right out as anything other than Levi's professional acquaintances.

I calmed down with my alphabetizing technique.

Asphyxiation, bludgeoning, choking, decapitation... my spirits were lifting already. "Is this or is this not a work meeting?" I said. "Because I have things to do."

"That's right. Your noble calling leaves little room for relationships." Levi tugged his cuffs straight.

"And yet, how nice to be a man of leisure and have all the time in the world for them."

Miles and Arkady shot me displeased looks at insulting Levi, but Priya and Rafael covered smiles, which cheered me up immeasurably.
