A Simple and Pleasant Vacation (Liam and Lula)

…

Liam exited the Vengulls & Company offices to the echoes of farewells of the merchant company's staff, making sure the paperwork he retrieved was still firmly tucked into his arms before he waved at the carriage driver he had paid with good money to drive him around the capital since arriving early in the morning.

The thirteen-year-old was getting an idea why Miss Brue insisted on tutoring him in math and common business etiquette when it was already odd for her to choose Liam as an assistant/apprentice. Everyone had remarked on his age, so even Liam wouldn't think he was first choice, but he was loyal and Lord Mattheus desperately needed another to divide the work.
