~ Los Angeles, Jarred's villa ~
9:41 AM
Mrs. Ronin and Jarred are sitting in the study.
She is reading a book on the sofa while he is working on his computer and making phone calls.
This is how they usually spend their morning: after breakfast, they go to the study and she is giving him company while he catches up on work. Jarred does not go to the office, Smithsonite corp. is in Charlie's hands even though the official transfer of the CEO title still didn't happen. But Jarred's other job (how he calls it) is dealing weapons and he either does things from home online, or he meets with people elsewhere (at restaurants and hotels mostly). Meetings are usually in the afternoon and evening hours.
"What is bothering you?", Jarred's question broke the silence.
She looked at him and blinked. "How do you know that something is bothering me?"
"You didn't flip the page for more than twenty minutes."
