"When you ran off to Lovian, were you in this much of a rush as well?" the man questioned mockingly.

Vicky froze.

"You didn’t bother looking back when you ran, but you sure seem eager when you need him."

She ignored his sarcasm and asked, "Have you gotten in touch with him, sir?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"He didn't answer."

"How many times did you call?"

"Once."

She took a deep breath. "Sir, why didn't you call a few times? ft

"Why should I? Do you think I have nothing better to do with my time?" the man retorted mercilessly.

"I don't mean that. I just think that maybe he's in a meeting or missed the call by accident."

"So what? He was the one who didn't pick up."

"But you promised me last night that you'd get me out of here-"

"Your proposal last night was tempting," he interjected, "but I don't recall making you any promise."

Her eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you going back on your word?"

"I remember mentioning that I don't do charity work, didn't I? If

"I remember," she gritted out, "but I've proved to you that I am worthy of your trust."

"So I fulfilled my end of my bargain to call Tyler. Our deal was completed at the point that I made a call

to him. Our deal doesn't consist of a part where he has to answer his phone."

Vicky could not believe how sly he was and questioned sharply, "Are you toying with me?!'

The man chuckled sarcastically. "Even if I refuse to help you, do you really think that you have the

power to resist anything that I want to do to you?"

"If that's the case, why did y-"

"Miss Shaw," the man said. "Do you really think that you can be all righteous when you are taking

advantage of me?"

"What?" She was livid. "Am I taking advantage of you, or is it the other way around?"

"I spent a small fortune for you and you are mine for the week, yet you tricked me into working for you

with words."

"And that makes you the victim?" Vicky questioned.

"Of course."

Vicky believed that this was the most shameless man she had ever come across and shivered in

anger. "So, you realized that you were taken advantage of and wanted to break the deal?"

"I am being taken advantage of," he said emotionlessly. "But, since I've made a promise, I won't go

back on my word."

He took out his phone and showed her the call history. "I assume that you remember Tyler's number?"

The man made sure that the call to Tyler was the only record on his phone and continued, "I promised

to call him, which is why I waited even when he didn't pick up."

The system would automatically end the call if no one answered, and Vicky checked the duration of the

call before realizing that the man waited until the call was automatically ended. Even so, she still felt

like she was tricked.

She stared into his eyes underneath the mask. "So, you don't want to help me?"

"As I said, your proposal last night was tempting. Though I feel like I'm being taken advantage of, I can

still help.

However..." He captured her with his dark, brooding eyes." Again, I want an even exchange."

Vicky smiled bitterly. "I have nothing apart from myself to offer now...but I thought you think that it's not

worth it?"
