Ian picked up the fruit knife from the table and tossed it over. The man caught it in one smooth move, his face suddenly turning serious.

“Alright, alright, I screwed up,” he said, raising his hands. “I dug up everything you asked for last night. The Crimson Gallery is swimming in cash–ten factions, rivals and allies all at once, none willing to back down. But you just shattered their delicate balance and forced them to surrender every resource they had. Give it a year, and you’ll have enough wealth to rival countries. By then, you’ll be more than ready to take on Charles.”

The way money moves through the Crimson Gallery is downright terrifying. No wonder it’s the prize every powerful family is desperate to get their hands on.

Ian’s gaze drifted to the medicinal wine sitting nearby. The man’s voice broke the silence. “So, what’s your plan once this is all over?”

“What do you mean?” Ian asked, his tone casual.

“Yolanda, come on, don’t kid yourself. I thought romance wasn’t your thing? What, one kiss and suddenly you’re catching feelings?”

Ian’s eyes flicked to the man, then away again. “I’m telling you, leave her alone.”

The guy seemed genuinely surprised, zoned out for a few seconds before a crooked smile crept onto his face.

“Just wait till she sees the real you–let’s see if she still wants to play sugar mama then.”

He got up and brushed nonexistent dust off his pants. “Still, she doesn’t hesitate to spoil you.”

“If you’re so envious, why not go find yourself a sugar mama?” Ian retorted.

“Man, you’ve changed,” the guy teased, shooting Ian a knowing look.

That line dropped, and the vibe in the room instantly got awkward.

He glanced around, raising an eyebrow. “Yolanda’s got the whole package–face, body, the works. Honestly, anyone would fall for her. So, did you guys hook up yet?”

Ian took the bottle of medicinal wine from the table, ignoring him as he calmly dabbed it onto his skin.

“What, still haven’t gone all the way? Wait, are you actually still a virgin?” the guy goaded.

Ian didn’t acknowledge him.

“What is it, Ian? You scared?” the guy teased.

“Are you done yet? If you’re really that bored, why don’t you go overseas and stay there for a while? Just get out of my hair,” Ian retorted.

The guy threw up his hands in mock surrender. “Alright, alright, I’m just kidding. I know you’re totally
