" Hahaha " - Markus laughed elegantly, causing a stir. The comment from someone he practically raised from scratch made him laugh. " My child, you still have much to learn if you ever want to take my place. "
" Tsk... who said I even want to do that? " - Verdia commented dryly, playing with her empty glass.
" And you don't want to? " - Markus' eyebrows formed a straight line. He had already debated with her several times about her future. Gradually, he tried to persuade her to take over his responsibilities in the future and thus his position.
