Alex looked up when Mari walked into his office, and he raised a brow when he observed the way she raised her shoulders like she always did whenever she was bracing for an argument.
He sighed inwardly, wondering what they were about to argue about.
Bracing himself too, he sat up and smiled at her, "What's up?"
Mari cleared her throat as she stood behind one of the chairs at his desk, "I know we had an agreement about my not going over to Jax's place…" she started, observing his expression carefully to determine whether or not she should go further.
Of course, he should have known this was going to be about Jax.
Alex leaned back in his chair and folded his arms over his chest.
Mari watched him carefully.
The office was quiet except for the faint ticking of the clock on the wall.
"I'm listening," Alex said calmly.
Mari cleared her throat again, glad that he'd not shut her down and was willing to hear her out on the subject.
