Second Male Lead, You Said It Was A Contract Marriage? (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 030

I had been busy handling work all week in preparation for the picnic with Yezar. The steward praised me, saying my skills were improving steadily, but along with that, the amount of work he brought me had been increasing.

He said the tasks I was handling were only a fraction of what Yezar managed. Looking at the towering pile of documents before me, I suddenly imagined just how massive Yezar’s responsibilities must be—and felt slightly overwhelmed.

After finishing my work, I went through the letters that had arrived for me. One was from Marchioness Stemun, and another was from Weaslet.

He must be delighted. Absolutely delighted. I had a rough idea how such rumors might have started, but I never expected them to reach Weaslet’s ears. Still, it’s better than appearing to have a strained relationship—though it does seem a bit too passionate now…

“Haa.”

Now I feared Yezar’s reputation might shift from rumored homosexual to famed virility.
