"Yes," Quinn muttered, swallowing hard. "Kai Blake. Sienna's stepbrother. The same man who's been seen hanging around Miss Lilith. He—uh—he's… trying to snatch both your business and… and your girlfriend."
There was silence.
An eerie, suffocating silence.
Quinn instantly realized what he had just blurted. He froze. His eyes widened in fear as Alexander slowly turned to look at him with a face so unreadable it made the room feel ten degrees colder.
"I mean—Miss Lilith isn't really—uh—I didn't mean it that way—just rumors, not confirmed!" Quinn stumbled, waving his hands in front of him nervously. "Boss, I swear—there were just a few media photos and some fan gossip—I didn't mean to imply anything—"
Alexander didn't speak for a moment. His red eyes stared into Quinn's soul, cold and sharp. The silence dragged on.
"You think I would let someone take her?" Alexander asked finally, voice low, dark, and steady.
