However, that wasn’t her only reason for staying away from Solynshko. She was also avoiding being around Oleg. There was something manic about him lately. She couldn’t quite put her finger on what was going on, but he’d changed.

And she felt even more unsafe around him.

Perhaps it was time to tell Aleksandr. Let him help her shoulder this burden.

She paused at the doorway as she heard Oleg speak. Fuck. She didn’t want to deal with him. She took a step back.

“Let me the fuck go!”

Oh God! That was Miller! Did Oleg have Miller trapped back there? She had to help her. But where was her guard?

“Do you have a fucking death wish?” Finn yelled. “MacGuire is going to murder you for touching his missus.”

Shit. They had Finn too.

“I think he be more interested in how his girlfriend have secret meeting with his enemy,” Oleg replied.

What? What was he talking about? What secret meeting?

“You set that up, and when I tell Rogan, he’ll have Anisimov kick your ass out of here,” Miller replied.

“You think anyone believe you? Some piece of ass? They take my word over yours. But maybe we teach you both a lesson.”

No. Nope.

Not happening. There was no way she would allow Oleg to hurt Miller or Finn.

She stepped through the door, taking in everything. Oleg had Miller by the arm while Anton and Pavel held Finn back. They both worked here as kitchen hands, yet she trusted neither of them.

“Let them go, Oleg,” she said firmly, keeping any fear out of her voice.

She was going to pay for this later, but she didn’t care.

She was done.

“Sofia, go!” Oleg yelled. “This nothing do with you.”

“This is my restaurant,” Sofia told him. “She’s my employee. Let her go. Now.”

Oleg scowled at Sofia.

But she wasn’t going to break. “I’ll make sure they don’t talk. Let her go, or I’ll tell Sacha about this.”

Surprisingly, Oleg let Miller go. Then he nodded at his friends, who pushed Finn away.

Sofia moved through the kitchen toward the employee entrance. She didn’t know why this was working; all she knew was that she had to get Miller and Finn out of there.

Now.

Had Oleg lost his fucking mind? Rogan MacGuire was going to kill him for touching Miller.

“Go. Now. Before he changes his mind,” Sofia urged once they were outside.

“Come with us,” Miller replied. “Rogan will keep you safe.”

“I’m safe here. Sacha would never let anyone hurt me.”

“He seems to be doing a great job protecting you from that asshole,” Miller said.
