A Secretary, A Spy, and A Lap Pillow
Liza, right?"
Julian D'Aurelius scratched his nose, feeling a bit awkward.
For some reason, hearing his mother's tone made him feel like he had already been convicted before even defending himself.
Veena D'Aurelius crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Yes, she's quite pretty, but a bit dazed."
Gary D'Aurelius sitting nearby nodded seriously.
"Very dazed."
Then after a pause he added thoughtfully,
"But polite."
Julian stared at his parents.
"...Why does this sound like you're interviewing a future daughter-in-law?"
Both his parents immediately looked away at the same time.
"Cough."
"Cough."
The synchronized reaction instantly made Julian's expression turn strange.
"She's my secretary. I let her stay here to work and also act as my bodyguard. Things have been chaotic in Valemont lately."
Julian explained.
His voice was calm.
Recently, too many things had happened one after another.
Evan.
Lucas.
Steffan.
