บท 29: Chapter 28: To Melt Him

"Lord Verlice is satisfied with your work so here is your bonus for that," Madam Ibanez said as she scoffed bitterly, bestowing me with the small brown envelope.

"I have plans for today. Unfortunately. We can go out on this day off if you like." It was fortunate that we had the same day of having a day off on this recent schedule.
