He’s nice but with a bit of an arrogant edge, persistent but aloof. It’s all just enough to pique your interest. And you don’t even think about the fact that he’s been studying you for months, surveilling your every move, listening to your every call, getting a PhD in Olivia Pope because your father told him to. He’s been hand-picked, groomed, trained. He’s exactly like me. Your father made Russell – and he made me. We both came off the same assembly line. The only difference is that I’m in love with you.
