"What else would we do?" Neo rolled his eyes. "Come in."
Christian followed him into the room.
"Where is Miss?"
"She is playing the game in the hall…"
There was no one in the wide hall.
He saw Leonora through the open door.
….She was sleeping in her room.
'Is she faking sleep because Christian came? What is he, her mother?'
Neo entered her room.
He was about to wake her up when Christian stopped him.
"It's fine. I'm not blaming you or anything. You are adults. It's not my decision to make your life choices for you."
"I think you are misunderstanding something. She was awake until now—"
"It's okay. I understand."
"You understand nothing.
"I haven't even met her for long. Why do you think anything happened between…"
Neo gave up explaining when he saw Christian's expression.
As if Christian was looking at a kid who was caught while stealing a cookie and was now giving excuses.
