A Reward from The Fox

Renar stared at Lethia in disbelief, thrown off once again by her unpredictable nature. She always had a way of catching him off guard. For Renar, her presence turned his boring days into something far more interesting.

"Are you serious?" he asked, a slow smile tugging at his lips as he raised a brow.

"Half-kidding, but your answer might make me reconsider," Lethia replied, waiting for his response with a calm indifference.

He chuckled. "Yes, you can, but not by my hands." Shrugging on his coat, he grabbed his things. "Let's go."

She hurried after him and frowning. "What do you mean?"

Renar abruptly stopped and turned around, making her stumble back in surprise. He lowered his gaze to meet hers, his voice smooth and deliberate.

"Why would I ruin this beauty of yours with a scalpel?" His brow arched, and a smirk curved his lips.
