[THAT brat really brought Dahlia here…]

Nero could only sigh and shake his head when Neoma returned to his room with Tan Kim and Dahlia.

"Don't sigh at your guests," Neoma scolded him. "That's rude."

Nero just rolled his eyes. "Do I look like I care?"

"Then, Young Master, you don't mind that we came empty-handed, right?" Tteokbokki asked. "The thug princess told us to hurry, so we didn't get you anything."

"It's alright," Nero said, scoffing. "As I said, I don't care."

Tteokbokki just nodded politely.

"Gosh, you're really rude," Neoma scolded him again. "And Tteokbokki, what do you mean you came empty-handed? You brought Dahlia here, and that was more than enough as a gift."

"Thank you for saying that, thug princess."

Dahlia, on the other hand, blushed as if she was embarrassed. "But I didn't bring anything, Neoma."

"It's fine since your presence is already a gift, Dahlia."
