Chapter 96

The servant was instantly freaked out by the sudden move.

Her face went pale, and she started backing up, yelling, "You're trespassing! I'll call the cops if you try anything!"

Katniss kept her cool, "I don't like your tone. Can't I come back to my own house?"

Conrad's job was to keep Katniss happy, and he'd stop anyone who got in the way.

He stepped up and shoved the yelling servant aside, "Say one more word, and you'll regret it."

The servant clammed up, shaking with fear.

Katniss looked at the door Conrad had just busted open and felt a weird sense of satisfaction. She lifted her chin, "Nice work, I'll give you a raise!" "Thanks, Madam," Conrad grinned.

Madam?

Katniss thought about correcting him but decided against it. Conrad was right to call her that.

What was she doing here again?

Wasn't she fetching her passport to marry Maximilian?

Her ears turned red, and she tried to stay calm, reminding herself to get used to being called Madam.

This was all part of the deal, and Maximilian had done so much for her, she had to hold up her end.
