I read through the new contact given to me.
My eyes shifted to the little girl, staring at me. I didn't expect a child within the mafia, especially in one as tense as this.
I looked back at the contract she had given me.
It was identical with the Contract 21 except I'd be the main receiver of this one, and not my father.
Should I see it as simply changing autonomy? I knew Theoden could be sneaky. I rubbed my temples. Why did I bother overthink?
Theoden has no reason to secretly betray me. He already had a good cut, though I didn't know how much. I should still be aware of these things.
Our last conversation sounded like he had my best interest in mind. I should give him more trust.
"Pen please?" I stretched my hand to the girl.
Her fingers tightened around the pen. I knew that reaction all too well from teaching at grades ones, during summer. This girl didn't like me.
