Chapter 115: _Under His Watch

"Rhett?" he finally managed to say. "What’s so funny?"
Rhett shook his head, the laughter slowly subsiding into a chuckle. "Nothing," he said, forcing the amusement from his voice. "Just... something crossed my mind."
He cleared his throat. "Look, we need to find
Cora. I want us to get into the new work Aceco threw our way as fast as possible."
Farkas frowned. "I know you’re changing the topic to evade my question by changing the subject."
Argh. Farkas just liked to pry. He was ALWAYS prying. In a good way though. But every time, he was always met with the same reaction from Rhett which was mostly silence without providing information or confiding in him aside from work.
Yet, Farkas never gave up on Rhett. There was a reason Rhett didn’t have that many friends and acquaintances. His aloof personality was the main reason.
Farkas sighed. "Fine," he threw his hand listlessly in the air. "I won’t pry. But know this, if you need someone to talk to, someone who won’t judge, someone who..." his voice trailed off, then firmed. "I’m here for you, brother."
