Chapter 298: Minister Laura (2)

"Do I have to be worried about you being whisked away too?" Zaila sighed as soon as they were alone again. "That man clearly has you in his sights."

"As if," Laura scoffed. "I'll probably be too old for anyone by the time I decide to settle down."

Yet again, Laura was taken out of her musings as another familiar tone entered their table's vicinity. This time, she was pleasantly surprised as her fellow candidate Teresa came to see her.

"Lady Teresa, right?" Laura asked, making sure that she had the woman's name right.
