Chapter 152 – Distress
"…I beg your pardon, Miss?"
Omm asked with a surprised tone, his eyes growing slightly wide at Meadow's words.
Seeing his expression, she let out a strange smile.
"Did I stutter?" She arched an eyebrow. "I am offering you a position at my newly opened Company as a merchant. Isn't that what you wanted to be the first time you came to me?"
She took one step closer. This time, Omm was too surprised to retreat, his expression making it clear he hadn't expected any of what was currently happening.
"Didn't you wish to be a Merchant?" She asked again.
"I… I did, Miss." He nodded slowly. "But that is no longer the case."
"Huh?" Meadow stopped abruptly. "What do you mean?"
"I no longer wish to be a Merchant, Miss." Omm repeated, smiling awkwardly. "I am satisfied with my work as a Shepherd."
