Chapter 307: I found out that morally...my romantic life is questionable
I had gone to Natha’s companies before, but it was either with Lesta or Eruha, never with Natha.
And boy, it was different.
No matter how high the two vassal’s position was, they were not the Big Boss. And when the Big Boss came without prior notice, it was chaos.
Well, they weren’t bumbling or anything; Natha had enough mercy to tell them we were coming through a messenger this morning. So, by the time we arrived at the merchant guild, all the staff were already lining up to greet us--well, him. But I could see the anxiety behind their forced smile, and although it was still considered morning, some of them, especially the managers, were perspiring.
But their anxiety was mixed with confusion when they saw the Big Boss came with a little boy in his arms. When did the Lord have a child? They were probably wondering, but had no wit to ask, only stealing glances while bowing until we disappeared behind the elevator.
Hmm...that was something. I could smell the tension in the air, and even though Natha told the staff to just get back to their work as usual, all of them looked like they were held at gunpoint.
"I will wait here, Your Excellency," Irra bowed and stayed in the lobby while I followed Natha further to the office.
He sent the merchant guild’s vice-president to tend to me while he talked to the other supervisor, which actually made me sorry for the man--or the demon, rather. I mean, I was only here to ask them to send Izzi’s letter; a meager task, I must say.
But then...he looked relieved? Or was it just my imagination? His smile was brighter after Natha went away with the other guild’s executives.
"What can I help you with, Young Master?" he asked politely, almost cheerfully.
"Ah, I just want to send this to Etherziel," I took out Izzi’s sealed letter, which the vice president accepted with both hands. "I want the messenger to ask the receiver whether they would send any replies, and if they do, please tell them to send the replies through the merchant guild or the bank, using my name as the recipient."
