It only took a couple of seconds for the system to tally all the gold coins and spit out the number. Damon blinked, rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.
999,342,600 gold coins.
Not a billion, not yet, but close enough that his head swam just looking at it.
It was an astronomical amount, and Erin had simply given it all to him without asking for anything in return. He turned to her and quickly pulled her in for a hug. She was truly the best sugar mommy in the whole world.
Erin, on the other hand, blinked in confusion. Her arms stiffened for a moment, clearly not expecting the sudden contact. She had never been embraced like this by anyone.
"My lord?" she whispered, her voice trembling as if she feared she had somehow offended him. "Did I… do something worthy of this honor?" Her beautiful blue green eyes searched his face when he pulled back slightly, trying to read his expression.
