A few weeks later, which had been quite peaceful thanks to the absence of Solis's annoying relatives, the couple was surprised to see an unexpected visitor in their office.
Boss Gaia sat in the meeting room in a relaxed pose, as if she owned the place. Martis stood behind her, looking tired and surly.
"My apologies, Boss Gaia," Solis said politely. "I do not handle Chaos Demon matters in the Rosea office."
Boss Gaia laughed. "I'm not here for gang work," she replied. "My deputy begged me for a favour, so I brought him to see you – and I also have a business proposal for Rosea."
Solis frowned. "Rosea is not involved in any underworld work," he said. "I would be happy to work with you under the Chaos Demon banner, however. Shall we move to another venue?"
"You are rather eager to get me out of your office," Boss Gaia grumbled. "I'm not here on behalf of Dragon's Breath; I'm here on behalf of Nerium. Do you still want to drive me away?" She shot Solis a challenging look.
