Rune's Half-Truth (III)

The confrontation between Grace and Rune was fruitless as the latter refused to reveal the truth that he was hiding, leaving Grace torn and frustrated.

In the end, she threw him out of her apartment with a clear warning - he needed to decide if he wanted to be her friend or enemy.

"What are you going to do if he refused to tell the truth?" Dr. Kian asked the next evening as he helped Grace with the preparation of dinner. Everyone was invited for dinner.

The living room had already been arranged for the dinner. The couches and tables were replaced with a long dinning table where about twenty-six people could sit comfortably.

Grace didn't look up and continued to cut the tomatoes as she answered in an emotionless tone, "I will kill him since he knows too much about us. Living an enemy alive is the worst thing I can do in our situation."
