Feliks (2)

«Your boss? He sure acts bossy,» Feliks said, tilting his head. «Are you sure he's not doing something bad? Like, does he use his position on you?»

Vera shook her head. If only Neven did use his position, she would have felt less confused and embarrassed. But he had done things out of the ordinary. He had been a perfect gentleman.

«But he has that air around him that makes him look like a jerk,» the young man continued.

«Does he, now?»

«Sure! And he's always looking at you, isn't it creepy?»

«Creepy?» she whispered. Was Neven really always looking at her?

«Yeah... How can you even stand being close to him? Everything shouts danger around him.»

Vera blinked.

«So, you can also see it!» she exclaimed, keeping her voice low not to attract attention - especially from her boss.

«Rather than see, I can smell it. Just how I can smell that you're powerful. Why do you let him order you around?»
