He told her to go out with someone, but he canât believe itâs the black prince. What has she been doing so far that she has a dangerous relationship with the Grand Duke of Black?
âWait, then the vow of chastityâ¦â
âIt was already broken.â
Vivian responded kindly, unable to hide her pitiful expression. Thinking she should have told him earlier if she knew heâd do something this stupid.
Thatcher, who stopped breathing for a while, felt as if he was dying of breath. It would not be less surprising if Perdiâs hidden lover was actually the emperor of the empire.
He thought he was being held in check as a competitor because he was lacking sarcasm and provocated to the Grand Duke of Black?
Thatcher was just trying to provoke jealousy and make a good connection between the two. He thought he wanted to faint like this, but life wasnât that easy.
âAre you the president of this publishing house?â
âNo, of course. Your Grace.â
âI thought it was meant to be.â
âOh, itâs special. Itâs so special that she doesnât even look like a woman.â
Same-sex friends, no different from family. Sheâs like a real brother. Haha.
Thatcherâs desperate laughter filled the office with heavy air. He rattled his eyes in a cold sweat. He just wanted to cry because he felt unbearably sad that he was the one who brought this situation on himself.
Not only did he dig his own grave, but he built a tombstone and went into the ground and laid his hands neatly on his chest. All that remains is to be buried.
The Grand Duke of Black looks like heâs looking at the zoo monkeyâs tricks, and if he hadnât done anything, the middle would have gone. He shouldâve lied down from the start.
How would he know that Vivianâs strange taste lover would be the Grand Duke of Black, not anyone else?
Somehow Thatcherâs head started spinning to curry favor with Aiden.
âWell, does that mean that youâre not satisfied with Perdiâs novel?â
âOf course not.â
Smiling, he said, lifting a teacup of hot steam.
âItâs just a pity that youâve limited her skills to this extent. Isnât that so? I was a little disappointed that you had such an eye as to produce the first erotic novel writer.â
âNo way! No way! Of course, our writerâ¦!â
âOur?â
ââ¦no, her, Perdi, has more infinite possibilities than the universe.â
Vivian alternated between those two and looked around. Aidenâs sudden use of subordinates was unusual, so she didnât know what to say.
Considering his position as the only Grand Duke of the Empire, it was right to use subordinates, but she felt very awkward because he had been so polite.
What should she say, it wasnât like Aiden sheâd known all along. She thought he was a listless, languid cat wandering around the study, but today he was like a prince. Heâs the Grand Duke, though.
âIâm glad you think so.â
âOf course! Haha.â
âI want the title to reflect the authorâs opinion as much as possible.â
âYouâre right. Publishers canât fall in love with the authorâs will to express.â
Hey, who asked him for that kind of interference when she wasnât his girlfriend, but she thought he changed his attitude too quickly.
Vivian glared at Thatcher with cold eyes for a moment.
She whispered in Aidenâs ear.
âAre you allowed to reveal who you are?â
âThere was no reason to hide it. I just didnât want to be bothered.â
âThat sounds like you had something to say in spite of the annoyance.â
âItâs nothing. I was thinking of officially being a supporter of Perdi.â
âWhat?â
She even forgot she put her lips right next to her opponentâs ears and screeched.
As his eardrums blared at the sudden scream, Aiden made a furrow. He looked down at Vivian for a moment and pinched her cheek silently. He did it without realizing it because it was cute to see her nostrils open like a rabbit.
Vivian shouted with a leaking pronunciation with one cheek held.
âWhy the hell?â
âI didnât want to lie about Vivianâs novel being unsatisfactory.â
She had no idea what he meant.
âWhat does not wanting to lie have to do with being a sponsor?â
Vivian asked him like a brush. Isnât it strange that he claims to do such troublesome things as sponsorship?
But Aiden just shook his head and laughed. Far from answering the question, he was told to take good care of her in the future.
âDonât get me wrong. I always look at the possibilities and invest.â
Iâll make it the first and the best, didnât I tell you? He added that.
âItâs okay, Iâve been writing well without sponsorsâ¦â
âItâs just something I like to do. Donât feel pressured.â
âBut there are so many famous writers.â
âI donât know why Vivian is refusing. Or do you hate me?â
âNo way!â
