Chapter 14: Interesting Woman
"Wait here for a moment!" Simone calmly stood up and left the hall.
After a few moments of surprise, Lukas felt his heart warming—It was just as he had expected. She didn’t have as bad relations with Helen as everyone seemed to believe and she seemed to care for him too. It was just that she couldn’t do anything overtly in fear of angering Raymond.
Simone returned a short while later, carrying a small golden pouch which seemed to be made from silk and casually threw it toward him.
Lukas raised his hands and caught it, shock evident in his eyes because he had recognised this pouch.
Still, he looked at her for confirmation.
Simone had sat down on the sofa and was pouring herself a drink. Then, she put one leg over the other and leaned back on the sofa before taking a sip with her luscious lips.
After savoring the taste, she raised her head and looked at him, calmly nodding, "That’s right. It is a Spatial Storage Bag and it contains 5000 Gold Coins. I’m giving you more than you asked because I’m not going to give you another penny in the future, no matter what happens. So, use them well.
And if you are wondering how you are going to use the bag when you are not a mage, well, you can have your maid use it. Just be careful not to reveal it to anyone."
Lukas stared at her for a moment in silence before he bowed with respect toward, "I understand. Thank you very much, First Lady. I shall never forget this favor."
Once again, he noticed a flicker of hurt flash past her eyes. First time he had ignored it, but this time he could not.
’Does she... not like me calling her First Lady?’
