章 93: Bad Dog

Chapter - 93

"Hey, can we dial down the drama here? This tension's like a bad soap opera," Rick grumbled, interrupting the awkward encounter between Evelina and the old man, "Ewww... Cringe."

"He is my butler, Geoffrey." Evelina, undeterred by Rick's sarcasm, introduced the old man, "Why don't take a load off and sit down."

"Jumping right into business, huh? Classic you! But hey, shouldn't you give me a little gratitude first? I practically had to perform a superhero rescue to save that pretty ass of yours," Rick teased as he settled into his seat across from Evelina.

"Insolent... You..." The old man, now a bundle of nerves after Rick's taunt, looked like he might leap at Rick to shut him up. Evelina, however, quickly intervened, preventing a potential wrestling match.
