– Girlfriend? – He pretends to be unfamiliar with the word. – Is that what you call a female with whom you need to spend your time away from a twenty-five hour workday?

– Okay, – I waved him off and respected his right to keep his private life under lock and key. Damn, he’s got me there! If anything happened, there’d be no doubt that not even a sniffer can find out how, where, or with whom he spends his time.

– K’Reig, I wanted to talk to you about…

– …inheritance, – I finish for him confidently. I recognize his tone, unmistakably, with a faint yet thinly disguised note of irritation. – No.

My brother’s share of the business was only twenty-five percent, because I confidently held the fifty-one percent controlling stake in my hands because it was written so in our father’s will, even though my brother was older and had every right to claim a larger share of the inheritance. But he did not even try to contest the will, only congratulated him and said that these shares would not make him any richer or happier than he already was.
