Chapter 7 - Peeling the Many Layers of His Personality

“People who are usually quiet have the noisiest thoughts.”

THE NEXT MORNING, Angelique sat alone in the dining room at breakfast.

“Where is Hades?”

“He had to go out early for a meeting, my lady.” Rheie answered.

“A meeting in the underworld this early? I thought work does not start until sunset?”

“He attended a meeting with mortals.”

“Meeting with mortals? What do you mean?”

“Aside from the underworld, the master owns hospitals, funerary parlors, and private cemeteries. This makes it easier to fetch our clients.”

“Ohh.. Creepy but strategic.” Angelique was expecting to see him at breakfast and patch things up. “Do you know what time he would be going home?”

“I believe he will be returning around lunchtime. But I do not think it is wise for madam to see him.”

“Why?”

“I heard he was injured in his right hand when you threw a fit in his office. He might be on the edge because of that.”
