章 344: Take down the king and the apprentice

"Get dressed." He commanded as he strode into the room. 

He went straight to the cabinet to pick a dress for her. He wanted her to look extra beautiful tonight. He had to impress their company.

"Why?" She stretched in the bed. It was past dinner, so a date was out of the question.

She wondered what he was planning for tonight. From the way, he was acting. She could guess that he was entertaining some guests, a client or investors perhaps. He needed eye candy.

"We are meeting an important client." He grabbed a dress, inspected it, returning it as he chose another one. "Can I expect you to act in your best behavior?" 

He still had some doubts about her loyalty, finding it hard to trust her again.

"Of course, I will, Nick," Cassie assured him.

It was her chance to get out again in the confine of his house. Since he discovered that she planned to run away, he had kept her in captivity.
