Bab 51: Exordiums

There was a moment of silence as each of them dwelled on their own thoughts.

"Boss," Levi, having had enough, finally broke the silence. 

Their Boss had experienced far too much in her young age, and he couldn't even imagine all the trauma it must have caused her. Yes, she looked strong on the outside, but Levi was sure such a front was simply a facede to hide just how much turmoil their Boss had inside her.

"Yes, Levi?" Raine asked.

"If I must say… You are nothing like your father, King Marcus. You're far from the man that he is," Levi spoke. He meant every single word. 

At his assurance, Mia and Lyne nodded in agreement as they whispered in chorus, "Yeah, Boss. Levi's right." 

It was practically a given that their Boss was very different from her father. Yes, she could be bitchy in her own ways, but she was never a monster like her father had been. Their Boss had a good heart underneath her admittedly bitchy facade.
