Chapter 133

Elyana blinked in surprise. Just this afternoon, Auntie Kira had told her Daimon planned to hire someone—but she hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly. "Can I refuse?" she asked, voice even. "No, you can’t," Daimon said firmly, without hesitation. As expected. Elyana shrugged her shoulders lightly and said to the two newcomers, “Hello, my name is Iris. Hope we can get along in the future.” “Hello, madam.” Both replied politely. Elyana blinked, momentarily stunned by the title. “I think you misunderstood. I’m not Mr. Blackwood’s wife, so you don’t have to call me ‘madam.’ Just ‘Iris’ will do.” Her voice was calm, but Daimon’s eyes darkened. The way she distanced herself from him so quickly—it hit a nerve. Noah and Keith glanced at Daimon uncertainly. “Do as she said,” Daimon said faintly. “Yes, Mr. Blackwood. Hello, Miss Iris,” Noah quickly corrected himself. Elyana nodded slightly, but her eyes narrowed. No matter how polite Noah appeared, it was obvious to her—he worked for Daimon.
