We walked in silence to the car, and I was trying to figure out what happened to Serina when she tightened her hold on my hand while we were in John's office. But I knew that it was not pleasant and I feared that if I bring it up, it might resurface again.
For a moment, I thought that she will snap and bring up Magda and deviate from the plan. Not that it would matter. I will support Serina no matter what she decides to do, but we spent some time planning this and gathering information. It would be a pity to be wasted.
As if she can read my thoughts, after we settled in the car, Serina leaned on me and released a slow breath. "I find it difficult to talk to John without bringing up Magda. I wanted to ask him if he is really so ignorant or two-faced."
"Is that what you thought about when he spoke about cleaning his image?", I guessed.
