– For now, I’m not offering you anything, – he snapped with a look, forcing me to moderate my anger a little. But a few more words…

There was a warning in the voice. What exactly he meant, I did not understand, but just in case, I retreated deep into the room. She looked around and turned back to him.

– I need my things, – she said more reservedly.

My handbag swayed on the strap clamped in his fist. Without saying anything in response, Max went to the door.

– Hey! – shouted to him in the back. – I need my things, do you hear?!

– I hear you, – he looked lazily. He looked again at the neckline of his blouse and walked out the door.

I exhaled nervously. She walked across the room from wall to wall, stopped at the window, which was heavily barred, behind which there was nothing but a patch of lawn. She touched the button of her blouse and fiddled with it. She looked at the door. If someone else had been in Max’s place, I would certainly have demanded clarity, but with him… The warning that sounded in his voice was not feigned. I had no idea what he was capable of, but I had no doubt that he was capable of much. Another thing is that I could not allow him to treat myself as if with an empty place. That’s just… And what if Ivan does not find the right amount at all?! As soon as I thought about it, my hands were covered with goosebumps, and this time it was not at all from the cold. No. No no and one more time no! You just need to calm down and wait a bit.
