Ka-ching! It's Monopolizing Time! II

'It's about time!' I thought.

It was about the damn time she gave me something for saving her, even though all of that was what I planned. Kidnapped her, trapped her in a small room, then eventually saved her.

Making her owe me her life which would bring me closer to my goal. Not an end goal though, but a short-term goal. That was making my financial situation stable.

"I appreciate the sentiment, Lumi, but you don't me owe anything," I said, trying to reassure her.

Of course, I did that for pleasantries! I needed to look like I was your humble, virtuous, and kind guy the same as Lux. 

It was called the 'build a good rapport' strategy to increase the chance your would-be boss accepted you into their company.

Also, I said that because I knew that no matter what I said and what I did such as reject her proposition, she would still force me onto it.
