The call came unexpectedly.
"I heard that you've been promoted. Congratulations."
It was a rough and dry voice. One that she felt was vaguely familiar, yet had a hard time associating a face with.
"Who is this?"
When she asked, all she received was a slight pause. Just as she was about to speak again, the voice spoke again.
This time, she finally was able to put a face to the voice.
"I apologize. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Liam Marken. The manager of Blue Daisy. We've met before."
"Ah."
Although short, he had left a deep impression on her.
He was a rookie manager from Emblem of the Sun. A Tier 4 Guild. He was considered to be extremely talented.
So?
Why was someone like him contacting her?
A newly promoted reporter?
And then, she got the answer.
"...I have a favor to ask you. No."
He suddenly corrected himself.
"A proposition."
