Caesar

The mansion fell silent. You sat in the office, sorting through documents. After becoming Caesar's personal lawyer, there was hardly any free time left. You tiredly took off your glasses when a familiar voice sounded at the door: If you keep staring at the papers like that, they won't sign themselves. You chuckled. I thought you weren't coming back today. Caesar, his coat still wet from the rain, calmly replied: The meeting ended early. "So no one died?" The corner of his lips twitched slightly. Today - no. Coming closer, Caesar closed the folder with the documents. Finished. "No." "Finished." You looked at him irritably. "I still have a lot of work to do." "Five minutes' rest. " Realizing that arguing was useless, you nevertheless stood up.

The kitchen was warm and quiet. Caesar placed a mug of tea in front of you and poured himself some coffee. I didn't ask. - I know. - Then why? - Because you would have drunk it anyway. The rain was pouring outside. Today in court, the prosecutor again tried to prove that your deals were illegal. You said. And? - He couldn't. - So you do a good job. - They just weren't prepared well. Caesar only chuckled. His phone vibrated briefly. He glanced at the screen and put it back. What happened? You asked right away. Nothing serious. - You're a bad liar. - One of my people thought he could deceive me. He's already changed his mind. You didn't ask for details. You had long since realized that Caesar was deliberately hiding the darkest sides of his life from you.

Later, they went out onto the terrace. The rain had almost stopped, the cool air smelled of pine. Sometimes I think that one day all this will end , you said quietly. What exactly? - Showdowns. Constant danger. People who want you dead. Caesar was silent for a moment. As long as you're around, that's enough. You laughed quietly. Sometimes you say completely illogical things. - Perhaps. They looked silently at the night garden. For the first time in years, you felt real peace. Our child will be like you. Caesar added suddenly.
