If they hadn't met because of the contract, would things be different?
Zelia stopped the thought that flashed through her mind. They were just partners, it's just that this particular partner happened to be the man she admired.
While waiting for Nathan, Zelia saw an old lady selling handmade crafts, carrying a basket in her hand. Zelia always loved these little things, so she hurried after her.
The market was crowded, and Zelia walked for a while before catching up with the old lady.
"Can I take a look?" Zelia pointed to the handicrafts in her basket. The old lady smiled kindly and said, "Of course, I made all of these myself. Take your time, young lady, and see if there's anything you like."
There were many items in the basket, including woven handkerchiefs, and animal dolls... Zelia
