Kapitel 197: Is that a challenge?

Ari sighed as she tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. She said to the man who was done ogling at her body, "Mister De Luca, I am grateful for your timely assistance just now. But can you tell me why are you here? Is it about the debt?"

Upon hearing her words, Nicolai felt a nerve twitch in his forehead. Pray oh, tell him, why did he like this woman?

She spoke the cruellest thing without even mincing her words.

He ran his hand through his hair and said to her, "You are unusually testy, Pallas. Did you find another man and do not wish to be seen with me?"

A furrow appeared on Ari's forehead as she questioned, "Is that even important at this point?"

"Have you?" Nicolai pressed. If she did, then he would end up immersed in another task, when he was already straddled with enough projects.

Especially after he shot his arms supplier guy dead.

However, this was way more important. His Nico the Great was on the line here alright.
