No one spoke in the car as they drove home. When they reached the estate, Solis called everyone and left strict instructions that if anyone from the family tried to contact him or Noir, or tried to visit, they were to refuse flatly. If pressed for information, they were to state that Solis felt unwell and Noir was looking after him. Under no circumstances were either of them to be disturbed, no matter what reason was given. And no package was to be admitted from them, either.
All the staff and security members confirmed their tasks. Once Solis was satisfied that everyone understood, he dismissed them and asked Noir to accompany him to his bedroom.
Noir obeyed silently. He knew Solis was feeling itchy and uncomfortable after the unpleasantness he had just experienced. So, without raising any questions, he helped Solis take a quick shower and then put him to bed to rest.
Solis said he couldn't sleep, though, so Noir opted to massage his legs.
