"What was that for? Are you happy now?" I enquired Anna.

"Head of the Blossom Branch Medical Association, is the platinum grimoire for him?" Anna did not mind my words, instead answered with a question.

"Yes, I was going to use it as bait to string him long enough to get what I want, but now I don't need it. After seeing you, I bet he will willingly try to be on my good side. Was that your intention from the start?" Anna's method was crude, but it was effective. A man of authority and position like Rami knows how important and valuable it is to have the right connections. Thanks to her entrance earlier, my value in Rami's eyes has increased by a hundredfold. Now he will go out of his way to maintain a good relationship with me.

"Since the law forbids me from using my influence to directly participating in private affairs, I decided to help you indirectly. I feel sorry that I cannot do more for you." Anna seemed to mean the last part genuinely.

"I had him. Your help was unnecessary. But I appreciate the thoughtfulness behind your action." I couldn't bring myself to blame Anna for interfering, considering that she was being thoughtful.

"I know you are capable. But why not use all the hands available? Won't that be faster and save you some trouble? Anyways, I wanted to do something for you. Blame me if you have to. I don't mind." Seeing Anna be submissive, I lost my original purpose for confronting her. Instead, I felt a little guilty for not being appreciative enough. I guess that is what Anna is trying to achieve by acting submissive.

"Huh, cut the crap. If you want me to fall for you, you will have to try harder." Anna is a vixen with a lot of tricks up her sleeves. Seeing that I could resist her birthday suit charm, she decided to go with the debt trap.

Debt trap, reyou peatedly doing favors for a person until they feel obligated to do something for you. And then using that, you have them do what you want them to do that they wouldn't agree to do in normal circumstances. A classic and effective method, but this takes a lot of time, resources, and attention. But for someone as invested and stubborn as Anna, this method was a good option.

"All I was trying to do was help the person I like. Suppose you see it another way. I can't do anything since it is not my problem but yours. You have to be more trusting." Anna pushed all the blame on me. Trying to make me feel like I have a problem. Saying that I find faults with her because I don't trust people.

"I know I have trust issues. But this isn't that. Now that I know what you are doing. Stop doing it." I asked Anna to stop with her mind games.

"How can I stop doing it? When I am not doing anything." Responded Anna.

"I am telling you Anna, break it off." Anna's response had a vein pop on my neck.

"And I am telling you I am not doing anything. Now go away. I have to go through all these propositions sent by the military council to make the life of our soldiers easier on the way beyond." Saying that Anna continued to go through her grimoire.

"This is my room!"

"This is my City!"

"Whatever." Knowing there was no point in arguing with Anna, I headed out of the bedroom in frustration.

…

"Wyatt, you lied to me!" Said Susan as I walked out of the bedroom.

"Susan, nothing happened. I can explain." I could see the disappointment in Susan's eyes.

"You don't have to explain yourself to me. The clients are waiting for you. Hurry back." Saying that, Susan turned to leave.

Grabbing on Susan's left wrist I pulled her into my embrace and said, "But I want to. Please trust me. Nothing happened."

"Wyatt, let go of me. This is inappropriate." Susan struggled free of my hold and pushed me away.

"I am sorry." I apologized, realizing how inappropriate I was being.

Susan turned to leave, taking two steps, she paused, without turning back to face me, she said, " I trust you." And then hurried away like a frightened little mouse.

"Ain't that romantic." Anna's words sounded from behind.

"Fock!" I yelled, being startled. And turning to face Anna, I added, "You were eavesdropping?"

"Hey, I was passing by. That is different from eavesdropping." Anna defended herself and continued saying, "Enough about me. I see you have a thing for your employee. Should I be worried?"

"We are just friends," I responded, defending the sanctity of the employee and employer relationship between Susan and me.

"Wyatt, sometimes I forget you are still a virgin. But thank you for reminding me. Let me give you a advice, a boy and a girl can never be friends. Everybody knows that." Anna commented.

"Yea, I guess what you are saying is right. After all, you are the expert here." I snapped back at Anna.

"I will give you one second to take it back," Anna warned

"Yeah, I said it. I don't care if you are a card emperor or you can kill me with a sneeze. I am not taking it back" I held my ground against Anna.

"Boy, your ass is lucky that I like you. Otherwise, your mouth would be practically kissing your ass right now." Saying that Anna headed towards the bedroom and ordered, "prepare bubble bath. I want to soak."

"Don't you have your cards for that?" Hearing Anna wanted to take a bath. I was surprised. Why use mortal ways when she had handy cards like Aqua wash and Dirt purge?

"You have too many questions." I could feel the chill in Anna's voice as she spoke these words. So I decided to take my win. And yelled, "Yes, Madam. Right away."

Finding Susan, I asked her, " Susan Anna wants a bubble bath to soak in. Please buy what you need but make it happen. It is for the southern emperor, so everything has to be top of the line. Don't hesitate to use all the funds. If you need help, contact Diana."

"You messed it up, huh?"

"You have no idea."
