"So." he seated himself across from you. "Tell me about yourself."

"What do you want to know?" You shifted in your chair.

"Anything."

"Well. Before all of... this, I spent a lot of time in academics, always an overachiever I guess."

"I see. Tell me about your relationship with Ms. Venable."

What did he just say? You tried to keep your composure.

"She's the boss here. There's not much more to it."

"You don't seem to be afraid of her."

"Why would I be?"

"She's quite intimidating no?"

"Of course she is. That doesn't mean I'm afraid of her. I've spent my entire life around people in her position of power, it doesn't faze me."

"The scars along your hips tell a different story Ms. y/l/n."

You gulped. What the fuck?

"That's a thing of the past."

Sort of a lie, but close enough to the truth. The two of you sat in awkward silence, holding eye contact for a few seconds.

"Well then. That's all."

That was it?

"Good evening Mr. Langdon."

You slid the door open and made your way back to your room. You wanted nothing more than Wilhemina's warm embrace and you couldn't have it. Soon you could, but not soon enough.
