Unlike the last few times, Darius was always visibly around Nicholai in tonight's banquet. The usual backline Alpha, who watched over the service from the kitchen before the actual banquet started, stood with Nicholai as they greeted the guests they had that night. At this sight, Griswold didn't have to wonder why, even if Dwight was scowling in curiosity.
After all, Darius was not in a usual high street fashion. He was forced to dress up accordingly in a black turtleneck and a malt suit jacket, sleeves pushed up halfway up the muscly forearm. Moreover, his tousled hair was not simply sitting on his head. It was styled to the side with texturizers as if Vivienne made sure her daddy would look nothing less than their uncle tonight.
It's just there was no real occasion… only guests that Darius didn't want to come near his mate.
