章 52: If only I were with you

"Did you bury them?"

As soon as I step out of the car, I contact Ken to make sure things went according to plan at the mansion. "Yes, Ma'am" He replies. "But can you really trust the future plans? It is not worth to put in trust anymore. We only planned to pretend, yet they really did shoot you"

Mumbling in frustration, Ken complains. He has become more talkative. He used to be the man who would retort in one word to every sentence back then. Now, he speaks as his mind without any care to surrounding. Should I be delighted? This is a sign of comfort anyway.

I am glad he has grown comfortable to speak with me. "Well, it was a painful accident. Still, that managed to gather more than I craved. Leo is now in my palm" A smile tugs my lips while I head inside the elevator. "Ma'am, you could have died if he aimed at your chest!"
