When I entered the study room, Rion was sitting on the long couch with one leg crossed over the other.
He met my gaze. "I hope you aren't slacking during your study hours just because no one's watching."
I fought the urge to roll my eyes. I was about to sleep, so I hadn't bothered to look nice. I wore a long nightdress that left little skin uncovered. My hair was loose, and my face must have looked as pale as the white long-sleeved nightgown that fell on my feet.
I closed the door behind me and replied, "I intend to complete the bargain as soon as possible, and doing so will only delay it. I may not be the smartest, but I'm smart enough to use my time wisely."
I sat on the smaller couch across from him. A rectangular table stood between us, with a glass of milk and a plate of cookies.
Did he want to have a late-night snack with me? My brows furrowed in confusion.
