"You survived the night. Now... it's time to collect my rewards, correct?"
I blinked twice before this man's words registered in my head. I had forgotten about the deal we had last night after all that happened.
"Had you been helping me because of the reward?" I blurted out in disbelief. So much for overthinking why he was helping me.
"Obviously?" he shrugged his shoulder while he looked at me as if I was... dim-witted. "Nothing is free in this world, Gorgeous."
My mouth opened and closed, now having the reason I regretted coming in here. Yes. This was a mistake; he misunderstood my value. I took a step back while biting his lower lip.
"Oh, no, Bambi!" he intoned and shook his head in dismay. "Even if you try to charm me, yours truly will not fall for it. I had already fallen a long time ago."
