Vanessa watched the limousine drive off until it disappeared through the gate.
She let out a small sigh and crossed her arms.
'At least he's not hurt,' she thought with relief.
According to what Alexia had said, he had a fight with Superior Man… even though he was all muscle, Vanessa still wondered how Lucius came out of that one with just exhaustion.
But she knew this was her fault because she could guess what caused it.
It was probably because of the council party — the dance she refused with Superior Man, she might have…. shared multiple dances with Lucius later.
Men like that didn't handle rejection well, and seeing her with someone else would've made it worse.
"Well, that's his problem," Vanessa muttered, brushing her hair back. "Let's just get him inside."
Lucius was supposed to spend the day with her today.
She had taken another break from guild work and wanted someone calm to relax with… someone who wouldn't spend every second trying to grab at her chest.
