King of the Underworld by RJ Kane

Chapter 219

Chapter Two Hundred Nineteen

Misha

I could see something was different about Giana when she and Armando walked into the office while the doctor was talking to Sephie. Giana had a look of contempt on her face watching Sephie talk that she’d never had before. I didn’t like it. I could feel myself starting to get angry as I watched her watching Sephie talk to the doctor about brawn.

When the doctor asked Sephie how she had experience with the original formula of brawn, her entire demeanor changed. It was obvious. She immediately looked at the floor and her shoulders slumped. Adrik didn’t even need to see her to know it happened. He just turned his chair toward her and extended his hand toward her. She got up, her eyes still on the floor, and moved to his lap. Before she sat down, she just said “my uncle.”

This week has been rough on her. We’ve all seen it. She’s looking like she looked after she and I were attacked, just without the concussion. How she looked after the ball, just without the ho le in her hip. She was struggling. Adrik and Ivan seemed to know how to help her best, which was good, but Andrei was right. It was frustrating for the rest of us. We wanted to help her too, we just didn’t know how. It was even making Stephen angry and that guy rarely gets angry.

I noticed Giana’s eyes went wide when Sephie mentioned her uncle. Armando looked at her, a stern look on his face, almost like he was silently saying “I told you so.” I waited for her to look at me. I knew she would. She was practically incapable of not staring at me at some point anytime she was around me. I’d caught her staring so many times it should’ve been embarrassing for her, but she kept doing it. Even after she got with Armando. It was so comical that I’d discussed adding it to the wh ite board bet pools. How many times I could catch her staring in one day.

When she did finally look at me, I made it obvious that I’d seen her look of disgust and I gave her my own look of disgust in return. It did not matter to me if she was with Armando or not, she was going to find out that when it came to Sephie, all bets were off. She quickly looked to the floor, but I kept watching her until the doctor got up to leave.
