Chapter 30
"Don’t set my home on fire and don’t bring any friends here," Zayne answered. What rules was she expecting him to have for her?
Rose bit her lip to resist telling him again that she would not set anything on fire since he would not listen. What friends did she have to invite anyone here when she was supposed to be hiding? Rose prepared herself to keep hearing about a fire for as long as she was around Zayne.
"There aren’t any rules, Rose. You are to clean and not do something stupid like leaving here for someone to find you. Now, I need to figure out which room you should use. Maybe one of the second floors," Zayne said, going up the second floor first.
Rose was close behind him as she wanted to see what a second floor was like. The brothel was all laid out on one floor and there was only one second floor which Graham did not allow even her to see.
Rose touched the stair railings as she walked. "It must pay well to be a general. Even the stairs have tiny art on them."
Zayne slowed down so he could sneak glances at Rose being fascinated with everything she walked by. "I am risking my life with this job so it should pay well," he said, leaving out more of his background.
Zayne didn’t think Rose would change to be more interested in his wealth if she knew, but he liked how little she knew about him. In time it would come out but by then she should be used to him as he was now.
"This house isn’t marked on the map. Where are we?" Rose asked.
"You’re the one with the map so you should be able to figure out where it is positioned on the map. We’re on the edge of the town. If we keep going north from here, we will end up in the next town over where the palace is," Zayne answered.
