บท 108: There’s a Place for You Here

"My lord," Chiaki asked after they reached the mansion without any further incident. "Who is Lady Kayla and why is she here?"

Her tone was neutral, devoid of any emotion, just a normal wife asking about the new business from her husband.

But Lance Hua's response was bitey, he said, "You don't need to know." His lips were pulled taut into a sharp line.

What was wrong with that? She only asked about a potential business partner. Whoever this lady was, if she wanted to have a partnership with her husband, she deserved to know, alright? 

"Why can't I know?"

"Same reason as why you don't need to show your face to the court," Lance Hua said in a more urging tone, as though he wished Chiaki to end her incessant questions and get on with her day leaving him alone.
