"There was no way anyone could consider Vibia could be ugly. She was still as beautiful as the day he met her, and knew that there were many women who were insecure about their looks. Marcus was a bastard at times, and was not above using people's insecurities against them.  Again he squeezed her hand in order to reassure her concerns, \"Losing your looks? Never, you are utterly beautiful,\" He praised her, smiled and noticed the change in her when he mentioned his wife and family. Marcus thought she knew better than to mention or pry into his family life. But soon the thought was forgotten as she rolled her eyes at him. \n \n\n\n\t\"Uh huh, you missed me,\" He teased her, grinned and around his eyes creased as he did so. Smug was an understatement. Marcus loved watching her reaction, and only occasion did he feel a pang of guilt over leading her on. Still.... he could not help but enjoy it. Marcus could not prevent himself from grumbling at the mention of a 'better offer'. He was glaringly aware that he could not afford to gift her what any of the patrons managed to do so. Vibia was here to work. However, those fingertips of hers soon distracted him from the sensations they gave him. \n \n\n\n\tMarcus raised his eyebrow at her question. Surely she had seen him deal with customers who did not wish to pay? Or ones who got too violent with the workers? Or the varying escorting duties? Essentially, a majority of his duties were associated with the Domus Venus and the Domina, Titinia. Rather than his official boss, Marcellus Severus Minor. Still... he did not suspect her motives at this time and could not resist an opportunity to gloat. \n \n\n\n\t\"Oh, surely you have seen me. Keeping you nice and safe from any rough customers, escorting them out,\" He continued, code for roughly showing them the door and encouraging them to return when they remembered their manners. \"Keeping an eye on things. Nothing you need to worry your pretty head over.\" Marcus said. Ideally he should be willing to ask her what she did but he knew already. \n \n\n\n\t@Sara\n "
