Truly heartless and indifferent!
In the end, Jace Pierce left, and whether he would really not come back was unknown. Perhaps one day, when they were halfway through their meal, he'd pop up again asking for a bowl and chopsticks.
Sure enough, Aurora Blaine returned once again tonight, carrying her stuff to Maverick Knight's apartment.
"Boss, I might need to stay here for a while. Don't worry, I'll pay you rent," Aurora said earnestly.
As long as Kane Townsend didn't leave, she had to stay here, inconveniencing Maverick Knight, so she had to pay rent.
"Why pay rent?" Maverick Knight asked nonchalantly.
"How much do you want?" Aurora swallowed, "Well, I just went bankrupt... please go easy on me."
He approached the sofa, sat down, and with calm eyes said, "You can use something else as collateral."
"An obligation again?" Aurora waved her hand immediately, "No, no, I'd rather pay the money!"
"Scared of me?" Maverick Knight chuckled, "I haven't even said what it is."
