Chapter 15: Tail on Tala

IVAN’S POV

 

“Lower your voice.” Anton moved closer. In seconds, Igor and Viktor rushed into the kitchen. 

 

“What is wrong?” Viktor's eyes widened as he stared at Anton and me.

 

“Nothing,” I huffed and turned to switch off the flame under the pan. “Anton, take out the serving dishes.”

 

Viktor and Igor both stood their ground and remained mute. 

“Just some news about work,” Anton explained further as I felt anger seeping into my body.

“Have you sorted whatever is eating the two of you?” I said in a scolding tone to Igor and Viktor.

“Yes,” Igor responded but Viktor remained quiet. 

Anton placed the serving plates on the table, and I moved aside as he proceeded to serve the food while I removed the apron and turned to Viktor. “Tell me what is bothering the two of you.”

Viktor huffed and said, “Tell Igor to stay out of my business.”

“Why should I? You are my baby brother,” Igor snapped at him.
