"Lord McQuoid, not Kaye—," my words were left dry in my mouth because he had already walked away. I groaned and threw my hands down before realizing my mother was watching me.
"I heard you passed a big test," she said, making me look away and nod.
However, she looked around quickly and then almost shoved something in my hands before pulling back.
I looked down to see an envelope in my hand, and when I looked up, she was just blankly staring at me.
"Is this money again?" I was shocked she was giving me money like that.
"I don't need your money. I'm earning for myself now," I guess I made a mistake when I accepted her money the last time. Because she probably thinks this is why I keep showing up.
"Isn't this why you are doing this job? Take this money, it's more than this job can offer you," and I was right. Her tone suggested what she was going to say next.
"And what do you want from me in return?" I asked curiously, tapping my foot on the ground.
