Chapter 188

• MILO
• He felt relieved to be rid of the presence of his brother Jace, who, as if he knew his intentions, had shown up that Saturday afternoon at the offices with the intention of working, something he didn't usually do on weekends. His brother usually took Saturdays and Sundays to seclude himself, like the hermit he had been for the past five years. The reason for his presence and his worried mood was work"related: he wanted to express his reservations, concerned about the implications of the structural changes that the new clients were demanding in their architectural designs. Jace was an artist, a skilled architect who designed beautiful places and found it difficult to accept changes.
• He listened as much as he could, aware that his methodical brother needed reassurance that no important detail would be lost in the process of bringing his models to life. Looking at his Rolex and seeing that there were only fifteen minutes left until the time he had scheduled to meet Regina, he dismissed him without further ado, impatiently, earning a look of annoyance and curiosity from Jace.
