Chapter 23 - Forced Confession

The heiress of the Seie Corporation who was hidden from the public since her parents died and caused a ruckus in the black market when she was 13, is acting like this. Ridiculous! Yes, it is! But somehow, Conrad's heart ached for this young woman who only had herself to depend on against the vicious predators around her.

"What do you want to know about Grey?" asked Exia who is now munching on a second brownie like a hungry child. She seemed relaxed and is ready to engage in the conversation. Who wouldn't? She got her deal. And she's having sweets now. Yes. Sugar. It stimulates the brain. Edward specifically asked Ayu to bring sweets. The last few days that he was stuck with this mushroom, he noticed that she becomes quiet when she's hungry and sugar makes her talkative. These are just few of the things he carefully noted for future references. Edward reached for a cup of coffee innocently. Oh, how stressed he was whenever he comes home and this mushroom would annoy her about things at work. He was forced to tell her stories about his secretary and Mr. Long's multiple attempts to bribe him. Her innocent laugh after his forced confession sounded like a Harp playing a funeral song for him. Hah! This is payback time. Go on, eat more little mushroom. Isn't my revenge a little too sweet?
