"As the Saint Lord, if you wander around outside while leaving me to receive guests here, when those guests see you, they will definitely feel you do not value them enough."
"Sigh, what does that matter?" Alex waved his hand dismissively.
"I will just put on a disguise, absolutely no one will be able to tell."
"Then... I still have a massive pile of things to get busy with..."
"It is fine. Finish getting busy with my matters, then you can go get busy with yours." Alex was directly unapologetic, dumping the entire burden squarely onto Cedric's shoulders.
