Chapter 114: (Dis)advantages of being a businesswoman

I didn't miss how he kept throwing glances at my chest when he thought I wasn't looking, either. Now I wanted to sic Avarice on him twice as much, and therefore was twice as disappointed when I found out that the set of furniture he had on sale was already out of it and out of his hands.
