Bab 87: Husband material

•Nora

We looked for Azalea everywhere but couldn't find her. Around 6am as we all were coming back I saw her walking dejectedly behind Arius.

The three of us exchanged glances in horror and ran over to them.

Arius looked over first, "And where were you three?"

Azalea shook her head at us.

"Just out on a,um, morning walk?" Ben gave his most awkward smile and I felt like giving myself a facepalm but I had to control it. I'm just glad Azalea seems fine.

"You both." Arius pointed at me and Caesar, his expressions seemed quite serious, "I have a task for you two."

Caesar and I stood in the underground hallway of the auction site.

"So we have to make sure that nobody gets their hands on the girl and she gets safely delivered to Eli's brother Lexus." Caesar nodded. "Can't we just buy her straight off?" Caesar shook his head.

"No one can find out we're behind this." Caesar said.
