Max’s voice came through the phone with a chill that was like an invisible hand, steadying a racing heart
“Nah, I just know he’s joking.”
Max’s eyebrow arched, his lips curling into a slight smirk, “Andrew never jokes”
Brielle’s breathing hitched a bit as she felt Kenzo’s gaze turn more meaningful. She just wanted to end the call as soon as possible “Uncle Max, you needed me for something?”
“Yeah, get ready. You’re joining me on a business trip tonight.”

“Flight’s at ten. Patrick will pick you up.

Then she looked at Kenzo, “Kenzo, I never got to thank you for that thing three yea owe you dinner.”
Kenzo’s gaze deepened, his smile fading a little, “Sure, add me on Messenger.

The gentle smile was gone, replaced by an unreadable expression.
Andrew flipped his lighter open and lit a cigarette with practiced ease, “What, scouting info for your little sister again?”
“Alivia has been nagging too much. I can’t just sit back and do nothing.”
“Nothing special. Max will keep her close for a few days.”
Kenzo’s eyes narrowed slightly, a spark of interest flickering in them. Max, keeping a woman close?
