Chapter 38: Two profitable contracts

Knock, knock, knock…

"Lord Lucian, Lady Ria, are you awake?"

It was Chris, speaking from the other side of the door. His voice carried a hint of mockery:

"Sorry to interrupt while you're… busy, but your guests are waiting."

That bastard. He's doing this on purpose, isn't he?

Lucian replied curtly.

"If you don't want your salary cut, I suggest you keep those kinds of comments to yourself."

As if anything happened between me and that kid… Tsk.

"Ahem… my apologies, Your Majesty," Chris muttered, clearing his throat.

Even a dragon cares about his paycheck, huh…

"Good thing they didn't leave right away. I fell asleep before I could get their signatures on the contract," Lucian said, stretching.

Chris replied smoothly.

"Which is exactly why I led them to the reception hall."

Typical dragon behavior…
