Chapter 253

Della’s POV

“By the way, how was your talk with Mr. K last night? You look so exhausted this morning, and you had to go to the temple, so I wasn’t able to ask you,” Albert suddenly asked, making my heartbeat palpitate so much that it felt like it would jump out of my chest any minute now.

The guilt I felt for him because of that night’s mistake and the addicting sensation that lingered on me when I was with Mr. K were fighting inside of me, making me both breathless and in pain.

I took a sip from his coffee and took that advantage to calm myself.

Putting it down, I cleared my throat. “It’s nothing much. He just wanted to buy the Ruby mines, and we discussed its terms.”

Shrugging my shoulders to look more natural, I added, “I also asked if I wanted to learn more about Wakeland’s matters, and he was kind enough to give me some input.”
