Chapter 390: No Mercy
Talia looked at her friend, entirely unimpressed.
"Despite dressing like a professional woman, you are still a jealous little girl. That remark was entirely unnecessary."
Tessa gasped with her composure shattering for a moment. But it only lasted for a moment; the woman quickly collected herself.
Kaiden’s grin only widened at the sight, turning her gasp into flushed cheeks. "She is worried she will be left out of the deepening relationships. What a shameless and greedy woman."
Talia chuckled and nodded along. "Indeed, indeed. She reminds me of that spider boss monster. They are both gluttonous."
Kaiden smirked. "She even looks a bit like that vampire woman before she turned into a spider. With some makeup, they would look nearly identical. Maybe a long-lost sister?"
Talia giggled while her eyes glinted with mischief. "She really is a leech like that disgusting bloodsucker. Just look at her. She is sitting here only because I was forced to accept her blackmail of becoming allies. She would not be at this table otherwise, and she knows that as well, yet she sits here as if she owned the place."
Tessa’s lips trembled as her outrage built with every jab. Her hands curled into tight fists in her lap while her face turned a deeper shade of red with each passing second.
Finally, she burst.
"I will not stand for this slander! My guild is very capable, I’ll have you know!" she decreed with rising voice, sounding a bit as if it were a desperate cry instead of a bold declaration. "And I’m not a glutton nor a leech!!"
Her flustered tone made the declaration sound more like a pout than a threat, and that only made Talia and Kaiden smirk harder.
But the woman’s misery wasn’t meant to last for long, as both of them moved on quickly.
