Combat Maid Harem Chapter 15

"You!"
There was a blazing fury in Aleshia's eyes as she looked straight into Lawrend's eyes. Lawrend felt the dagger slowly sink into his skin and his breathing became even more rapid as the fear inside him mounted up to a very high level. Aleshia realized that she would kill him at this rate so she removed the dagger from Lawrend's neck.
"Hahh, hahhh.."
Lawrend was finally able to breathe properly. He glanced at Aleshia fearfully. She almost killed him twice already. He was starting to doubt whether his plan would be worth it.
"Alright. What's your deal?"
Aleshia's face was not happy as she spoke. After all, her little sister's life is currently in this man's hand. She would rather listen to his deal first before deciding on a course of action rather than risking her little sister's life.
"You need money right?"
Lawrend could guess that she was desperate for money or likes money after she accepted his bribe twice. Otherwise, she would have just done the deal and ended all of it. She raised an eyebrow at Lawrend's words. He was right, she really needed money right now.
"What do you mean?"
Aleshia asked coldly. If this was just some bullshit she would torture the hell out of him till he spits out who set the Alive Bounty for Ella.
"I-I can give you a job! A high-paying one."
Lawrend looked straight into her eyes hopefully and his voice was hoarse from the nervousness. What he was doing right now would fulfill a part of his dream. He couldn't help but feel excited on the inside.
"Hmm? A job?"
Aleshia was surprised that Lawrend was offering her a job. She expected him to ask to cancel the bounty on his head but it doesn't seem to be the case.

"Yes! A job. I can give you one."
Lawrend nodded his head repeatedly. His nervousness was slowly fading away as it was getting replaced by excitement.
"How much is the pay?"
Aleshia asked doubtfully. If the pay was shit then she would never accept it. She knows that time is not on her side so the higher the pay the better it was for her and her sister.
"50 gold a month!"
Lawrend proposed with a smile. He was very excited as he realized that she was actually interested in his offer. Aleshia frowned after hearing the amount that he was offering. Although it was high, Aleshia still didn't feel that it was enough.
"That's too low."
Aleshia replied. Lawrend's eyes didn't falter but rather it glowed with more excitement. As a to-be-merchant, Lawrend knows some tricks about dealing with people.
"I-I'll double it!"
Lawrend faked a bitter expression on his face. One way to deal with people is to first give them a lower offer than what you actually planned before raising it to what you really want to offer. This way, they would think that they are in an advantage when in truth they are not. A very cunning trick that is employed by merchants all around the world.
"That's better! You really do like doubling things."
Aleshia's eyes went round when she heard him double it. She only needed 400 gold right now. It would at most take 4 months and she would finally be able to get her little sister healed. It was very fast in her opinion. If she added some assassin missions in between, then she can even save it faster.
"Y-yes…"
Lawrend agreed with a wry smile.
"So? What's this job?"
Aleshia was quite curious about what kind of job this guy would offer since he was very wealthy. He could basically hire anyone in the city if he wanted to. He didn't have to hire his assassin specifically.

"A maid job."
Lawrend replied with a smile. This was his goal all along. A maid that could serve him. Even though he wanted to hire some maids, his plans for later would not permit just any maids. He wanted strong ones.
"E-ew! Y-you're after my body aren't you!?"
Aleshia's face quickly turned to disgust. She knew that this guy was a lustful man but she never knew that he would even go after his assassin. His lust really knows no bounds. As expected of the son of a wealthy merchant. He was being delusional.
"W-what!? No! I just want to hire maids."
Lawrend was flustered by her words. That was something that was not in his mind whatsoever. He couldn't help but take a sneak peek at her curves right now after being reminded. Aleshia saw it and her face fumed in anger.
"See! Explain yourself or I'm gonna kill you right now!"
Aleshia just experienced a squadron of guards who attempted to **** her. Now that Lawrend was doing something like this, the slumbering anger inside her heart was quickly reawakened. She placed the blade of her dagger against Lawrend's neck.
Lawrend was taken aback by her swift movement. He couldn't react right before she placed her dagger onto his neck. Cold sweat poured down his back. He felt like he just stepped on a landmine.
"I want you to disguise yourself as a maid and protect me!"
Lawrend immediately explained himself. He was gritting his teeth while enduring his urge to pee by reflex. It would be very embarrassing of him to do something like that in front of a girl even if she was his assassin. Men still have pride.
"I don't believe you!"
Aleshia replied snappily. There's no way she would easily trust him. After all, he was known to be fond of maids and was also lustful. He was basically setting a trap for her to fall into.
"B-believe me! I just want to get my money back!"
Lawrend's eyes were swimming about as he couldn't look down anymore. He was looking upwards and his heart was beating like crazy.
"Hohh, so you want to have a taste of my body and to get your money back? Striking two birds with one stone?"
There was a sneer on Aleshia's face as she looked straight into Lawrend's eyes. Lawrend was looking back at her with wide eyes. He couldn't believe how much bullshit that he never thought of came from her mouth. Women are just so… amazing.
