Chapter 841: In His Element
Ferdinand did not comment though since Ivan was Arabella’s assistant. She always spoke highly of him and clearly trusted in his abilities and promise right from the start.
Thus, Ferdinand simply said it will be up to Arabella to decide since she was the one who picked and hired Ivan.
Further, how could he possibly ask her to let go of someone she chose and equipped to be confident even in this setup?
Ferdinand had watched all of Arabella’s assistants since she picked them and he noticed Ivan was nowhere near as confident as he was now compared to how he was before.
Ivan seemed to lack confidence before.
But now, he was working well with others without being too nervous or wary. His hands were no longer trembling as they used to when someone of high position came near him.
"Uhm, but Your Majesty, I also need to retrieve more samples. There are something’s I’m looking for and I need to see them on the field myself to know where best to retrieve the samples. And I need to speak with the local farmers to gauge their reaction about some things. There’s something I’m onto that I do not dare speak about yet without enough proof," Ivan said.
’Ah, now he dares talk back to me too,’ Ferdinand stared at Arabella’s precious assistant.
The thought Ivan made was clear on his face. He was planning to ask Arabella for help if Ferdinand refused here.
’Is he getting ahead of himself already?’ Ferdinand frowned. He didn’t like it when someone acted like they were closer to his wife than he was.
Ivan gulped nervously. He looked like he wanted to take a step back but did not move.
