Early in the morning, the lights in Luca’s office were, unsurprisingly, already on.

“Lady Arlen. What brings you here so early in the morning?”

Luca, dressed neatly and sipping tea, showed no signs of surprise at my visit.

“Would you like a cup of tea?”

“No~ I’m pretty sure if I drank anything from a disgusting pervert like you, you'd put something weird in it.”

“Hmmm. I doubt you'd be able to drink most things anyway, my lady.”

With a shrug of his shoulders, Luca motioned for me to sit on the sofa, while he took a seat opposite me.
