Markus couldn't help but almost choke on his drink when Lucian replied with a snarky comment, something he wasn't expecting, but when he thought back on what he said he could see how it sounded that way. He chuckled slightly and was going to answer Lucian until he misunderstood what Markus was really trying to say and got uptight about it, even to where he started cussing him out. Markus wanted to speak up and try and calm Lucian down and talk some sense into him, but he understood at this point that it would do more bad than good at this point. He sighed as he slowly stood up, and shook his head, giving Lucian one more look as he spoke, "All you had to do was say the word, Lucian. But you're right. I don't know what you've been with, and I'm sorry. And I'm sorry that's how you think I think about you, but that's certainly not it. I never once thought that I was better than you, I know I'm nowhere near your level of professionalism." Markus said softly as he felt himself calm down a little, trying his best not to blow up as he took a few steps away from Lucian, combing his fingers through his hair as he thought to himself.
"You know, maybe you're right. Maybe us working together was a bad idea. It didn't really make sense for us to work together, even though it was fun, I have to admit." he said with a bit of a defeated look on his face, silently he dug into his pocket and held up the folded papers in his hands. "I'll be keeping these until after I look at them and analyze them. They'll be in your apartment by tomorrow. As you said I can't give you anything that could prove you were involved in this." he said softly as he stuffed the papers back into his jacket pocket as he began to walk away, stopping once more before he finally left, "Besides, you're not really my type anyway. So you don't have to worry about me wanting to sleep with you. Goodbye, Lucian." Markus said firmly and rather coldly as he gave him one final look before turning his back on Lucian and walks out of the room and building, slowly making his way back to his apartment, which by now it was dark, cold, and raining as the rain hit the sidewalk beside him as he made his way back to his place, leaving Lucian where he was as he clearly wanted. But something in the back of his mind kept telling him to go back, but he made up his mind and decided to listen to Lucian.
