Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Symeon narrowed his eyes as he observed Casey, the woman standing before him.

“What does it matter if mutual affection or unrequited love? What can you possibly do about it? Oh, by the way, weren’t you supposed to help me win over Amanda? How’s your plan. going?”

He had been in Cludan for about half a month and found that the market here wasn’t as easy to penetrate as he had thought. To make a mark, he needed to put in some serious effort.

Meanwhile, Casey stood in place, looking surprised. What did Symeon just say? The time he spent with Amanda? What does that mean? These two don’t actually have a romantic history, do they?
