The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 340

While he spoke, Daniel switched the call to speaker mode and handed the phone to Brittany.

"Brittany, prove to Jessica that it's actually you I'm with," he said.

Jessica was a bit skeptical of Daniel, so she asked, "Brittany, is that you?"

"Yes, Jessica, it's me! I ran into our country boy here on the street. He was up to no good, trying to skip work, so I thought I'd drag him back to the office!"

"Get your business done and come back soon."

With a quick command, Jessica ended the call. She trusted Daniel with Brittany because they were like oil and water; nothing unexpected would happen between them.

Despite having hung up, Brittany still seemed a bit flustered and nervous.

"You better not tell Jessica we came to a hotel room!" she warned Daniel.

"But I'm an honest guy. Whatever Jessica asks, I'll tell her the truth. It’s just a hotel room visit with Brittany during work hours. No big deal; I lose nothing from it."

"I'm warning you! If you dare to blab, I'll rip your mouth off!"

The pair left the room and made their way to a nearby herbal market called Herbal Lune. Among all the shops in the market, this one wasn't the largest, but it definitely had its own charm.

With just a glance, Daniel was certain Herbal Lune had some treasures within its walls and couldn’t wait to step inside. As he entered, he saw a beauty in a green dress – Aiden Foster, the owner of the shop. Her serene elegance captivated Daniel. He had an eye for beauty, and he never hesitated to appreciate a pretty sight when he saw one.
