“This is such a surprise. How about a cup of tea?”

Noel looked at his watch. “Sure. How about the café over there?”

He motioned with his eyes to a nearby café, a stylish spot with an open terrace. There weren’t many customers, so there were lots of free tables.

“Works for me,” said Tanya.

The two walked over to the café and took their seats at a table on the terrace. The server came over for their orders immediately, and both asked for tea and tea only. Neither expected to be there long.

“It’s good to see you looking so well,” Tanya said with a smile. “Congratulations on founding a clan too. You’re clearly keeping busy.”

“Keeping busy?” Noel burst into laughter. “I’m hardly just keeping busy—we’re almost on the regalia. And we’re heading for the top once we get there. Busy, really? I don’t need your half-baked social niceties. They mean nothing to me.”

Noel’s offensive attitude sent the blood rushing to Tanya’s head. Just as it was boiling into utter rage, Noel put a hand up to stop her from speaking. A cold smile drew across his face.

“If you intend to explode into another rage, our conversation is over. I’m going home.”

Tanya was the one who had invited Noel for tea in the first place. She couldn’t stop him from leaving whenever he wanted. At that moment, the server brought over their cups of tea. There was nothing left but to swallow her anger.

“You haven’t changed a bit, have you?” Tanya said.

“I’m as kind as I’ve ever been. I’m just particular about who I’m kind to.”

Noel spoke the line with blunt honesty as he lit up a cigarette.

“You’ve started smoking…”

“Unlike you, I’m a busy person. These come in handy.”

Something about the first part of Noel’s statement clawed at Tanya.

“You know what happened to me after I became a slave, don’t you?”

“Of course I do. I heard it all from Finocchio,” Noel said. He blew a puff of smoke into the air and went on. “You really ended up with quite the catch, huh? That just shows how high quality the two of you were as slaves. I knew you were living the good life as soon as you started living it. And you have to admit, that luxurious life is a whole lot better than being arrested for embezzlement or living life as a fugitive.”

“So what? You’re telling me to be grateful?”

“Yes. Exactly that. Tanya, let’s be clear—you should be grateful to me,” Noel told her without even a hint of shame. “Because of me, you’ve gotten yourself a good life.”

“I can’t believe you…”

Tanya was shaking with rage as Noel chuckled.

“The truth is the truth, however you spin it. You betrayed me, and I made you pay for it. But now we’re both living better lives. So what’s the problem? It’s all in the past. I don’t feel anything for you anymore. Not rage, not hate, nothing.”

“It’s…in the past?”

Tanya could not hide her shock. She knew that Noel had forgotten about her and embarked on a different path.
