“It would make you happy,” Alexei made sure to stress. Though that smug expression he held on his face, turning his lips into a smirk seemed to only increase when he noticed how bringing up Geneva’s husband seemed to be a bit of a weak spot for the translator. “Of course he is, that’s why I consider him a friend. I hope you won’t miss him too much next week, we’ll be needing him quite a bit.” It was a send-off, his way of saying goodbye in a less than pleasant way as Alexei went to sidestep Ginny in an attempt to make his way out of her presence and go off to find his niece, but he paused midstride. Once again, the Russian turned back to the translator, a brow arched in blatant curiosity. “Why are you here, Geneva?”
“Only because it would bring you such disdain.” She responded with a smile. His snarky comment didn’t really work on her. The woman didn’t care who her husband was friends with, but she also doubted her Petya could be friends with a snake like him. “Either way I get someone at my side at night.” Geneva spun on her heel and cocked her hip when he continued to question here. “I’m here to tutor my student in English like her parents asked me to. I’m assuming you’re here to spew some more elitist bullshit at her.”
