Realizing Maxs spine-chilling voice, I gave him a death stare.
And who are you to say such things to ? Ian fought back.
Max however ignored him and faced . Your Ladyship, you havent forgotten about our contract, have you?
One of the clauses for our contract stated that the employer and employee were not permitted to date another person as long as the contract was in effect. In any case, Max was the one who had broken this condition first. I couldnt believe he would be so bold to accuse
of such a thing. I stood tongue-tied for a mont, then I scoffed, I dont know what youre talking about.
Max sighed, crumpling his face. Lets go sowhere private. There is sothing that needs to be discussed.
He was speaking to
formally as I had asked him to previously. Still, that was no reason to forgive him. As you can see, I am having an important conversation with an acquaintance, I argued.
Max gritted his teeth in response and glared at Ian. I couldnt help but be afraid of what might happen as his crimson eyes were burning like flas.
You, get the hell out of here right now! he yelled.
How could he say that to the workshop owner? He was a custor here! I was about to stop Max when soone interrupted our quarrel.
Oh, you must be Lady Floyen. It was Maxs companioncalling
as if she had been acquainted with
for a long ti. I realized Max was absolutely the worst. He had even told his other partner about . I scowled at him only to realize that he was shooting a resentful gaze at
as well. I couldnt believe it. I was the one he had cheated onand not only had he gone shopping with another woman, but he was also verbally abusing my colleague as well.
Just then, the woman who had been with Max smiled and praised, Thank you for the cake before. It was delicious. It almost seed as if she was determined to irritate . In any case, her words confird that both she and Max thought of
as a pushover. My body trembled with anger after hearing that he had shared the cake I bought for him with another woman.
Nevertheless, I remained calm. If I made a scene here, it would only bring
misery. Hiding my emotions, I replied, Im glad to hear that. And I apologize, but have I ever permitted you to address
so informally? I do not believe we have t before.
When I pointed out what she had done, she smiled awkwardly. Ah, I apologize for the late introduction. My na is YuriLord Maxs vassal and relative.
A vassal and relative? I listened in a daze. It would be a stretch to call their relationship a romantic one. Then I realized that she had thanked
for the strawberry cake and recalled the ti I had given Max the cake. I had told him to share it with the person he was obliged to. My eyes trembled at the revelation when the woman continued, I was accompanying my liege as he had asked
to help pick a present for his lover. I didnt know we would et here like this.
Her words reminded
of what Max had said a few monts ago from afar.
Its a gift I want to get sothing better and more expensive.
I would have never thought he ant those words for . Feeling hot from the embarrassnt, I glanced at Max.
He was still staring in my direction, seeming exasperated.
Oh, no. Im in trouble.I contemplated what to do for a mont then clenched my fists.Ive caused this ss, so I will fix it.
I grabbed Maxs wrist. Then turning to Ian and Yuri, I called, Excuse us for a minute. Theres sothing we need to discuss.
