Chapter 709 709 Rue and Rail

Rue and Rail continued to glare at each other for the entire meal, but it was clear that Rail had won their exchange. While her old roommate, and the apparent prodigy of their succubus skills classes, was now an executive's secretary, Rail was as powerful as Rue's boss, and had the position of Senior Investigator, which commanded a level of power that the average businessman could only dream about.

It was quite the shock for the snobbish Succubus, and Rue wasn't taking it well. But in front of so many Demon Princesses and the local Patriarch, there was no way that she could politely run away with her tail tucked between her legs until after dessert was served.

Carmine in particular was having great fun at the new arrival's expense.

"So, Miss Rue, can you tell me a bit more about how things went after school? I have spent some time getting to know Miss Rail, so it would be so interesting to compare." She requested.

Despite being from different Kingdoms, it would be incredibly rude to turn down the Princess' request, but Rue was growing increasingly certain that she didn't want these people to know much about her past. Instead, she would gloss over the details and try to at least make herself look a bit better.

"Well, once I left the finishing school, things were somewhat set for me by my parents. They're Incubus Kingdom Nobility, both of them Viscounts, and they insisted that I should move on to studying business. So, after finishing school, I moved on to the Royal Academy for a four-year degree in business management.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

After that, I took a position as an executive assistant to the Chief Financial Officer of DemRon Corp, which turned out to be somewhat less lucrative than expected." She began.

Dana leaned over to whisper an explanation in Wolfe's ear. "DemRon Corp was implicated in a huge embezzlement scandal, and the senior executives all fled without warning, leaving only a massive debt and unpaid salaries behind. As far as I know, they still haven't been found."

"Of course, have a pleasant evening, Rail, Princesses, Lady Cassie, Patriarch Noxus."

Then she scurried away, blending into the crowd with the practised grace of a well-trained assistant.

Once she was gone, Cassie sighed and turned her attention to Rail. "At least try to be nice to her the next time you meet. I have an appointment with her boss later this evening, since he's looking after one of the Harpies' Villages on the eastern side of the Frozen Wastes, near the mountains. So we will see her again soon, but in her professional capacity."

"Of course, of course. I might not like her, but I won't mess with her work. Besides, you have an appointment with him, not me. I can just skip it entirely and have a nap." Rail shrugged.

"Without Wolfe. He needs to be at the meeting this time as well, since the Harpies are looking for more assistance that we don't currently have in stock. I'm not sure what the deal is, but the meeting is to determine if it's legitimate or if he's just looking to pad his company's pockets off the relief supplies." Cassie added.

Wolfe frowned. "That doesn't sound like fun at all. I've got a good book to read on new spells, can I take a rain check?"

The ladies all laughed at his complaints. He had been gone long enough, and there was no getting out of the annoying meetings now. They had been delayed until he returned, and now they couldn't be put off any longer.

"Fine, let's get through this meeting. Then maybe we can have a brief discussion about dress code. The succubus is only the beginning of the issue, we seem to have an inordinate number of exhibitionist Fae, who don't believe in clothes at all. Not that I'm particularly bothered, but I would like to know what the standard is, so I know who is just showing off."
