Chapter 255 - 248. A Bug In His Stomach
"How was it?" Radia asked as they walked back from the main house to the annex.
"It’s short, so it’s nice," Zein shrugged.
He thought he would have to go through some kind of nerve-wracking event, but it turned out to be a casual short affair. The time they took to walk between the annex and the main building was longer than the meeting itself.
The Matriarch is also more amiable than he thought. The title made him think of a queen-like figure, but if he looked at Radia’s situation, this casual feeling was actually more fitting.
Letting her son resign and roam around the world while giving the Chairman position to the young grandson? Seemed very flexible, this family.
Radia let out another hearty laugh that further proved Zein’s conjecture. The man seemed to be more relaxed and free in this estate, just like how Rina would shed her chic persona once there were no public eyes. The fact that he didn’t bring out his summoned secretary and let Jock stay in the annex meant that he trusted the security of the estate.
Truly the fortress of Althrea.
"We never really liked serving glib," Radia told the guide with a smirk.
Zein arched his brow. "Even though you’re a merchant?"
Well, calling the Mallarcs a merchant was, of course, an understatement. But they were a family whose main power was in the economy; producing things and selling them. Even though the members of the family held high positions in the group, it was still a profession in which the magic of bullshit and glib was prevalent.
"That’s exactly why," Radia chuckled. "We’ve been spending our time working with our tongue, so why should we do that again at home?"
