Chapitre 49: PULL OFF

Etienne hesitated for quite a while before speaking again, his voice was quiet, but also soft and clear, very pleasing to the ear: "Mr. Baume?" 

Ioan just slightly nodded noncommittally: "Yes. Would you like to come in and take a seat?"

Then he turned around and walked inside: "Come on in."

Etienne closed the door behind him and followed behind him as he sized the man up. It wasn't the first time he was seeing Julien's brother, but today Ioan's pairs of eyes gave a different feeling when he looked at him just now, it was persnickety and scrutinizing over him like a military parade instructor which gave him an air of indescribable pressure.

But Etienne wasn't one who tended to think too much and he also didn't want to overthink, because he always didn't feel comfortable in the presence of alpha, and also Ioan didn't seem to have something against his friendship with Julien.
