"Your scent is back." Mr Yichen stated as soon as he pulled us onto the main road.
"It is." I replied casually.
I knew he wanted me to go into detail, but I wasn't going to make it easy for him.
"That thing around your neck has something to do with it." It wasn't a question. He had already made his conclusion, all he wanted was my confirmation.
I hesitated, but he wasn't deterred.
"You do remember the punishment clause of our agreement."
"Yes." I breathed out. His not-so-subtle threat was enough. "To both questions."
He understood immediately, and nodded thoughtfully.
"Interesting. Explain how it works."
"What?"
"Mr Ren, you have a habit of making people repeat themselves. I don't care for it."
He took his eyes from the road for a second to look at me and I squirmed, pushing myself deep into the seat. Like the chair in his office, this one didnt have human absorbing abilities either.
