Claudia POV
"C-cage?!"
At this point, I couldn't control my expression. I must have looked delirious in front of Ray, but I just couldn't wrap my head around the idea of being "caged."
"Y-you—do you think this is the 1700s? What makes you think that I'll listen to an absurd demand like that?!"
Ray's gaze darkened as he listened to my protest. He simply lifted the pet contract and showed my signature.
"You have already signed this pet contract. What makes you think we can't go back to the 1700s for it? Besides, you don't need to worry about anything. I'll have a secretary stay here while I'm gone. You can tell her everything that you need," Ray stated as if he had rehearsed this speech, expecting me to refuse the arrangement. "I'll allow you to leave the penthouse with me from time to time. You can buy anything you want. It doesn't really matter to me."
