Chapter 89
“Namiaaa! I was waiting for you!”
Jaden threw himself into Namia’s waist in a full-bodied hug.
Then he jumped back in surprise and cried out primly,
“Don’t get the wrong idea! I just don’t have any friends because I’m too much of a genius, that’s why I hugged Namia! It’s absolutely not because I was happy to see her!”
No one could follow that up with words.
They only wore the same expression—‘Even that little brat of a prince with the trash manners?’
Still clinging affectionately to Namia, Jaden continued,
“But Namia, where’s that intern you always drag around with you? You said he was gonna be your partner.”
“Ah, he contacted me right before the banquet saying he was sick.”
“Really? I don’t know what kind of germ did it, but I wanna give that germ a prize. Props to him for backing out so nicely, but still—physical stamina is part of the job. Make sure you scold him later until he cries!”
Meanwhile, Victor had reached Namia’s side.
He waited patiently for the conversation between Namia and Jaden to end.
