"Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness."

@ North to @ Nyx

Now I owe you flowers.

@ Nyx to @ North

You don't owe me anything. I did it just to show who the real hacker is here.

@ North to @ Nyx

I was just busy. Can I at least pay you for the job?

@ Nyx to @ North

Why don't you just back off?

@ North to @ Nyx

Mmm, no. By the way, what does your nickname Nyx mean?

@ Nyx to @ North

It means fuck off, I'm busy.

@ North to @ Nyx

Do you talk to all your friends like that?

The next morning, I woke up to a knock on the door. At exactly six o'clock in the morning, a courier stood on my doorstep with a cup of coffee and a note. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't surprised. But I felt sorry for the courier. Firstly, he got up so early to deliver me coffee, for hell knows what reason. And secondly, I think he believed in the theory that you can kill with a look, besides, I had such an appearance in the morning that it was better to run and not look back.

"How can I help you?"

"Ahem, I have a delivery for you." I frowned.

"I didn't order anything."

" I know the delivery is from the customer to your address." I signed it anyway and took the coffee and the note. I was curious, who is crazy enough to do such a thing? I didn't have to guess too much, as soon as I opened the note, I wasn't questioning anything anymore.

Dobroe utro krasavitsya. That means" Good morning, beauty." I hope you will like the coffee.

Mr. Lust.

Your Daniel.

P.S. Our Russian lessons start today. See you at work.

I stared at the note. My fingers were shaking for a reason I didn't know. I do not know what game Daniel is playing, but it will not end well, especially for me.

Your Daniel.

Why did he say that? Now I can't just erase those words from my head. They are imprinted in my brain and do not want to leave them there. And my body is overreacting to his words.

I picked up the phone.

Indigo: Thank you, but that was not necessary.

Daniel: Of course it is necessary. I promised to teach you, Russian. I will do it.

Indigo: I don't think this is the right way to learn a new language.

Daniel: Believe me, I know what I am doing.

I rolled my eyes at the last remark but didn't say anything. Too much of an event for such an early morning. I don't have that much energy to deal with all this. I drank surprisingly delicious coffee and checked my email. After that, I started getting ready for work.

Zella's deputy met me at the office, as she took sick leave for reasons I understand. She really needs a break from all the events. I made a mental note to visit Zella as soon as possible.
