“DAMN IT!!!” —Bastien punched the wall with all his strength and stormed into the study. He knocked everything off the desk.

“AAAHHH!!!”

He poured himself a whiskey and sat down in front of the window, trying to calm down. That’s when Lucca walked in.

“Sir…”

“Call them…”

“They’re already here.”

Arthur and Jake walked in, heads lowered.

“Sir…”

“What part of ‘go back home’ didn’t you understand?” —he said in a threatening tone.

“Sir, you know the young lady is stubborn. We couldn’t do anything but stay close to protect her.”

“What happened today?” —Bastien spoke with a cold, sharp voice while staring out the window.

“The young lady and her friends went into the ladies’ bathroom. Sebastián was waiting inside. He grabbed her and dragged her into a stall, but her friends rushed in to defend her. They scratched him and ripped out chunks of his hair. When she screamed, we burst in and saw the girls on top of the man, practically beating him to death.”

A faint smile tugged at Bastien’s lips.
