Ember then looked around, pressing her cap down even though she saw no one around them. “I’m going now. Don’t ever contact me.”

“Of course,” the man chuckled. “Still, if you want more banners hung, you can contact me. Anyone loves making easy money.”

Ember did not refuse him. “Don’t worry–I’ll call you if there’s more work to be done. The condition is that you keep your mouth shut, and money will never be a problem.”
