Chapter 44.2

 

 

Edgar took the paperwork and checked it. It was something he often felt when he asked her to do something, but Christine was fast, and her calculations were accurate.

At first, he thought the results would be disastrous because she was sitting at a table in the corner of his office, sweeping back her long hair and pursing her lips while doing the work she had been told to, but it was not what he expected.

He had heard that she was an elite guild member, so it was no wonder that she was smart.

 

Today, unlike before, she did not try to seduce him by constantly smiling or sneaking up on him, so she finished her work even faster.

Edgar naturally became curious about one thing.

 

‘Did she never think of using her smart head and begging me?’

 

When she was caught sneaking into the archives, did she ever imagine what it would be like if she told him the whole truth and asked him to help her?

She was a smart woman, so she must have known that she wouldn’t be in a bad situation if she asked him for forgiveness.

 

First of all, she was maintaining a good relationship with the chimeras rather than hurting them. Although she secretly collected the chimera’s tears, she only scraped away jewels that were so small they weren’t even worth anything, and even those she had picked up from the floor. It couldn’t be said that her crime was a bad one.

 

The fact that she infiltrated the Black Fang Guild with the impure intention of harnessing the power of the chimeras… There was room for extenuating circumstances by adding an explanation that the power of Richard alleviated the pain in her body.

 

Above all, her specialty was to captivate others with her soft smile and gentle voice. Wouldn’t it be worth trying to ask him for forgiveness and beg for help?

They had s*x several times, so asking him for help wouldn’t be a bad gamble for Christine.

Instead of leaving according to the schedule on the train ticket, it would be wiser to find a way to resolve the curse with the help of the Black Fang Guild.

 

While Edgar stared into her eyes, lost in thought, Christine swallowed dry. She felt intimidated; she couldn’t figure out what he was thinking as he stared at her. There was a cold energy on his handsome face, which made her even more cautious.

 

“Excuse me… Edgar. If I’m done with work, can I go? I’m still feeling a bit unwell.”

“…”

 

Edgar found her attitude strangely irritating, as, unlike before, she seemed to have no intention of touching him and using Richard’s power.

He felt strangely upset as he thought about how she had never intended to harm the chimeras, and how she had never, not even for a moment, thought of seducing him with her good looks to get his help.

This would also be beneficial for Christine, as she wouldn’t have to worry about things like the schedule of the train ticket she had bought. Anything that’s rushed tends to go wrong.

 

Edgar, who was lost in thought, suddenly grumbled.

 

He wondered why it made him so annoyed that the woman had a train ticket to leave.

He even tried to turn a blind eye to it, making excuses, but he seemed to be feeling like that because she was keeping her distance and not trying to touch him.

 

The symptoms of her curse would subside if she came in contact with him. But seeing her not wanting to get close to him made him feel like his value to her had diminished, and it made him feel upset for no reason.

 

“Why aren’t you touching me?” Edgar bluntly asked.

“What?”

“You were desperately trying to take me to bed until just a few days ago.”

“I wasn’t desperate… Ahem.”

 

Christine couldn’t come up with a proper argument. It was an undeniable fact that she did her best to seduce him and have s*x with him.

But she didn’t know why he covered up her mistake this time, and in any case, she was holding back because she didn’t want to use the person who looked after her anymore.

He was considerate of her for some reason, so she would feel bad if she continued to treat him like a tool.

 

But when Edgar asked her why she wasn’t touching him, she had nothing to say. After thinking for a moment, she came up with an okay answer.

 

“You seemed busy, so I didn’t want to bother you.”

 

With that said, Edgar put the pen he was holding down on his desk. Then, he made eye contact with Christine.

 

“I’m not busy right now.”

“…”

“Do it. Do what you always do.”
