The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 312

Jennifer glared at him fiercely, barking out, "Are you doing it or not?" The country bumpkin was being thoroughly unreasonable in her eyes. Any other man would have leaped at the chance to fetch her high heel, as if they were a wolf pouncing on its prey, yet this one remained unaffected.

"I am not!"

Daniel didn't just refuse; he grabbed a chair, sat down with a flourish, crossed his legs, and watched the beautiful woman’s outburst with a glee that was unmistakable.

Jennifer swore to herself that she'd make this country bumpkin pick up the high heel. She had to win against him this once.

"Country bumpkin, are you doing it or not? If you don’t, I won’t take you to that place!"

"I don't care. Goodbye!"

Standing up, Daniel waved at Jennifer, said his farewells, and started walking towards the door.

"Handsome, can’t you just help me out?" Jennifer tried being coquettishly appealing.

"That's more like it!"

Daniel approached the high heel, and Jennifer thought he was going to bend over to pick it up. Instead, the country bumpkin kicked it like a ball, sending it soaring in a neat parabola through the air. It fell with a thud just in front of Jennifer, within her reach.

"Thud!"

"Country bumpkin, what are you trying to do?"

"Aren't you the one who wanted your high heel? I went to the trouble of getting it for you!"
