~ Eastern Europe, the main base of the Lebedev family ~
Hong arrived at the main base of the Lebedev family in time for lunch. He was welcomed by Bo, Souta, and Wing, and just as he exchanged greetings with them, he saw Atlas approaching him.
Atlas used to spend quite some time at the Beach House with Hong, and they bonded in silence while sitting in the garden.
Stella was curious to hear how Sarah and Aiden are doing, and she was frustrated that Hong kept his responses short and didn't tell her much. Actually, he was telling her only what she already knew: that Aiden is doing well, Aiden and Sarah are taking care of each other, and that they decided to stay there.
Hong didn't want to tell Stella about all the infighting, Maksim, and the dangers of someone knowing that Sarah is not Olga. It would only make her worried, and she can't do much about it unless she charges in that base and blows their cover.
