Daniela waved him off. “I don’t need a bodyguard. Sit your butt down and peel me some shrimp—I’ll be back to eat them.”

Cedric could only obey, sinking back into his seat with a small sigh of surrender.

Just as Daniela turned to leave, Charles sneered at Cedric, his tone dripping with mockery. “Weren’t you the one looking down on me not too long ago? And now look at you—following her orders without question. Seriously, Cedric, is she really worth turning into her loyal little servant?”
