C.I.B. Attacked

"Where's Mrs. Martins? Is she too ashamed—" Before Ace could finish, Man Hunter cut him off, her tone sharp, "Madam EAD is busy with the investigation and sent me in her place." She took a step closer, voice lowering with a hint of warning, "Also, regardless of your personal relationship with the acting EAD, I'd advise you to speak formally when addressing or talking about her. Unless you want to be charged with disorderly conduct."

Ace didn't bother responding. Instead, he pulled out the employment contract and handed it over. Man Hunter skimmed through it, then arched a brow, "Trainee, you forgot to sign it."

Ace smirked, his tone dripping with mock politeness. "Tell your esteemed acting EAD that if she wants my signature, she should be a little more sincere with her offer." He folded his arms. "These hidden clauses? Her clever wordplay? Not fooling anyone."
