I bit my lip and nodded. "That will be all ladies, thank you."

Both of them left looking slightly dazed and surprised. Then I marched down to Daada Jaan's office and knocked on the door.

He opened the door himself, tall and unreadable as always. He had been in an extremely joyful mood after Monaco, happy with the team's win, satisfied with the connections made and the deals secured.

Seemed like that mood had run its course.

"Is there a reason you're standing outside my door?" he glowered down at me.
