The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 341

Aiden, feeling challenged by the suggestion, asked Brittany, "What exactly do you mean by that? Are you implying that Herbal Lune isn't a serious business?"

Brittany was visibly irked, especially by how Daniel couldn't take his eyes off Aiden, gawking as if he wanted to bury his head right in her midst. She wasn't having it.

"You know what kind of business you run," Brittany snapped back, thinly veiling her accusation.

Aiden could tell that she had struck a nerve with Brittany. In the silent battles between women, the first to get angry always lost. Holding the upper hand, Aiden kept her cool and responded with measured sarcasm, "Dear, if you can't keep your man in check, why lash out at me? If he wants to sneak a peek, should I stop him?"

"You... You're just shameless!" Brittany blurted out, but she didn't deny Aiden's inference that Daniel was her man.

Overhearing this massive misunderstanding, Daniel stepped forward quickly to clarify, "Aiden, I'm not her man. We're just colleagues, nothing more."

With this clarification, Aiden understood the situation better.

"Oh, Daniel! I didn't realize you were such a playboy! Are you trying to hit on me, and that's why you're denying any relationship with her? Just colleagues with nothing else going on? If that were true, would she react like this?"
