“Mr. Chance, I would like to seek your counsel on something. May I come in?” Sigurd asked.
“Um...”
Jared hesitated. After all, Viola was still in his room, and Sigurd might misunderstand if he saw her there.
Just then, Sigurd caught sight of Viola, adorned in a gown of brilliant red that was impossible to miss, lying draped across a table.
“Ah, the sect leader is here. I'm sorry for imposing. I shall return another day, Mr. Chance...”
Sigurd hurriedly apologized and turned to leave.
“Don't go!” Jared halted Sigurd.
He knew that if left unclarified, Sigurd would most certainly misinterpret that something was going on between him and Viola. The news of Viola's presence in his room late at night would definitely spread like wildfire through Emerald Cauldron Sect.
Jared didn't wish for people to misunderstand, nor did he wish for Viola's reputation to be tarnished as a result of it.
After all, it was possible that Viola might ride on the misunderstanding to force him to get together with her, and Jared would be left with no other choice but to comply by then.
“Please, come in. Ms. Warwick merely stopped by to offer her thanks and perhaps enjoyed one too many drinks...”
Jared pulled Sigurd into the room and continued, “Please send two of your disciples to escort Ms. Warwick back.”
