"Did you read them?"
Leaf 3 stiffened at the accusation, though she wasn't surprised. Miri trusted no one—not even her own agents just as Julius had instructed of her.
"No,"
Leaf said evenly.
"As you ordered. I retrieved them, nothing more."
"Good,"
Miri said, her lips curling into the faintest smile.
"If you had, I would've had to kill you."
The room was silent for a moment, the weight of the words pressing against the air.
Leaf 3 didn't flinch.
She'd heard the threat before, and she knew Miri wasn't one to bluff, even If she wasn't the one to do the killing she could already feel it there was a third presence in the room that she could not see with her eyes...
It was surely him, Death always standing vigile of his precious Miri.
