Chapter 117: Retirement

Mariana dropped the cigar on the floor and put it out with her foot.

"Why did you laugh?" she asked.

"My friend, I have been watching over you," the naked woman said. She was not as amused anymore, and there was a certain degree of seriousness in her voice that suggested she was at least partially telling the truth.

Mariana had not yet started to properly question whether there was any point in the nudity, but on the other hand, there was no point in any of this as far as she was concerned. She did not know how her life would turn out from now on, and she was somehow clinging onto this strange woman in hopes of extracting information from her, information that could turn out to be very valuable in her future.
