Adam stopped.
The moment John interrupted them, the conversation ended in his mind.
He could not continue from where he had left off. Not here. Not with John standing beside their table with that gentle smile on his face.
Adam did not want John to know that he had some idea about Monica's background. More than that, he did not want John to feel that Adam knew his real nature.
That was the dangerous part.
Monica's family background was one thing. John's real personality was another.
Adam still feared John.
He did not deny that inside his mind. Fear was not the problem. Acting like he had no fear would only make him careless. John was not like the people Adam had moved in the underworld. John did not need a gun in his hand to hurt someone. He watched first and touched the right place later.
That was why Adam did not want even a small leak in his face.
With most people, a wrong expression passed like nothing.
With John, a wrong expression became information.
