I didn't even hesitate. The words just came out flat and easy, like they belonged to someone else. "Sure, dad. Whatever helps the family. I'll be there. I'll do whatever you need."
Dad clapped me on the shoulder, grinning wide like I'd just handed him a winning lottery ticket. "That's my boy. Knew you'd come around. This could be huge for us. Huge." He grabbed a banana from the counter and headed out, still muttering about seating arrangements or whatever.
The second he was gone Si Woo spun on me, eyes flashing red for real this time. "What the fuck was that? 'Whatever helps the family'? You sound like a robot. You hate this shit. You were supposed to fight him on it, tell him to shove his business dinner up his ass like you always do. Why are you agreeing?"
