Chapter 30 – I Will Not Sit by and Watch My Employees Be Sad.
“What is this?”
Sylvia asked, pointing to Elena and me in her maid uniform.
Is it because of the frills that particularly emphasize her breasts?
Or is it because the cleavage is particularly exposed?
‘I also really hoped that Elena’s maid uniform wouldn’t be exposed.’
Because of Elena’s firm determination to do it in this outfit, she couldn’t be stopped.
It looks nice.
However, it wasn’t something I wanted to show off to others.
“Elena’s outfit is a bit unusual.”
“No, not just that… The same goes for the chandelier, and the store manager suddenly wears a suit that doesn’t suit him. There’s something strange about everyone.”
It’s a bit hurtful to hear that it doesn’t suit you.
She wore a suit to create an atmosphere similar to Evergarden for her own sake.
“I told you. “I will make meat stew for you today, Sylvia.”
“Oh, because of that?”
Her eyes widened.
The way he looks at me with his googly eyes is cute.
“Is that why you asked me to wear this dress?”
“You’re right. “Silvia.”
As of this moment, she was the best VVIP of our DG Garden.
“Ah…”
Sylvia’s eyes turned red as if she was thrilled.
“Please come in here. We have a reserved seat for you, Sylvia.”
“Here is the handkerchief.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Sylvia, who wiped her tears with the silk handkerchief that Elena gave her, followed me.
“Please sit here.”
Sylvia walked along with Dojin.
In the living room, which was a simple remodel of Do-jin’s usual home, a chandelier hanging from the ceiling was scattering light.
His living room, which was originally an ordinary house, had various picture frames, artwork, and even a magic device that played calm music.
It felt like seeing a small Evergarden.
No, in terms of splendor, it was even better than there.
In the living room window, which was sparkling so brightly that it made you think stars were falling, there was a large table with luxurious-looking fabrics, tableware, and silver candleholders.
There is only one chair at the table.
It was a table and restaurant for just one customer.
Sylvia bit her lip tightly.
For some reason, I felt like I would burst into tears if I opened my mouth right now.
I know why Do-jin prepared so much, and I am grateful for his sincerity in renovating the house for me in one day.
She stood there dazed for a moment as Do-jin removed a chair from the table, and then belatedly sat down on the chair he had removed.
Graceful movement without losing elegance.
After all, she was the daughter of a prestigious noble family.
As she sat down, Do-jin, who had poured pre-dinner wine into a glass, bowed his head and said.
“Today, I prepared to serve something as similar to Sylvia’s favorite meat stew as possible.”
“Thank you.”
“Why don’t you ask for the name of the menu?”
“What’s your name?”
“It’s Buffe Borguignon.”
“Borgignon…”
“I will take over in a moment. Please wait a moment.”
“Yes.”
While waiting for the menu, she looked down at herself.
I didn’t realize it until now, but this dress.
‘It’s very old.’
A whopping two years.
It was time for her to become independent after being kicked out by her family.
Since she didn’t have money to buy a new dress, she had no choice but to wear the same red dress to Evergarden.
Although she managed it in her own way, she could not stop the passage of time.
Hair is frayed here and there.
It was undetectable to the public, but she knew.
Not only she but all the noblewomen in her social circle know this.
How many times did she wear the dress and how long did she wear it?
‘You must have seen everything.’
Other nobles would have seen it.
She wore the same dress every time, and her dress, which was becoming increasingly worn by the standards of nobles, did not change.
That’s why she was kicked out.
I knew it from a long time ago.
She didn’t have a good view of herself.
Since she couldn’t hear, she just pretended not to know and passed it on.
She must have experienced something that she should have experienced a long time ago, but why does her heart hurt so much?
Yesterday I cried all day.
Because her situation was so pitiful, she couldn’t even go outside and cried.
‘I still haven’t forgotten. ‘Stupidly.’
I was embarrassed.
I still can’t forget the nostalgia of the past, so I live in the past.
I can’t bear to throw away her old dress and keep wearing it.
While Sylvia was blaming herself, Dojin served meat stew in a luxurious bowl.
A delicious scent that stimulates your nose.
Sweet, salty, savory smell.
It was such a smell that you could guess how delicious this food was just by smelling it.
“Is this it?”
“Yes, a special menu for guests, buffet borguignon.”
“Ah…”
“Taste is guaranteed. “It’s our restaurant’s best menu.”
Dojin, who set up her menu, spoke to Silvia.
“It’s beautiful just the way it is, so don’t worry too much.”
“Yes?”
“The whole time I was waiting, I saw her constantly looking down at her dress. “The dress is dazzlingly beautiful, and there is no flaw in the dress, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Ah…”
“So, have confidence. “Silvia is the most beautiful right now.”
Elena added one word to Dojin’s words.
“That’s right! It’s beautiful!”
Why does her cry in a maid uniform look so cute?
Sylvia smiled without even realizing it at the two people’s cheering.
“Thank you, cluck. “You were watching even while I was preparing.”
“Knowing customers is the basics of the service industry.”
Dojin responded with a smile and pointed to her meat stew with her hand.
“Try a bite. “The food will all get cold.”
“Oh, yes.”
Sylvia, holding a silver spoon, carefully took a mouthful of her stew.
The smell alone is so fragrant, but what about the taste?
Whoop.
“Ah.”
An exclamation came out.
It was delicious.
The moment I put it in my mouth, it had a special taste, as if I had entered a new world.
A taste that makes your head tingle and your tongue dance.
He tasted her without her knowing.
“It’s delicious.”
It’s just soup.
I didn’t cut the meat or put the vegetables that came with it in my mouth.
How could a bite of soup be this delicious?
It felt like the definition of a good restaurant that she had known until now was all destroyed.
“If you gently tear it with a fork, it will tear along the grain.”
Just as he said, the meat was soft.
It was firm on the outside, but the moment I lightly touched it with a fork or spoon, it tore along the grain.
When I put it in my mouth, it literally melted.
Evergarden’s meat stew had an incomparable taste.
“How does it taste?”
“It’s really delicious.”
“Thank you.”
A taste that makes you want to eat it twice, and if you eat it twice, you want to eat it four more times.
Tears once again flowed down Sylvia’s face as she held the spoon.
Why?
She knew.
A young girl who was kicked out of her family and lost everything she had become obsessed with going to Evergarden to overcome her own trauma.
There, even if only for a short time, I was treated like a nobleman like before.
Although it was only once a month, she was able to forget all her worries when she ate the meat stew she had enjoyed in the past.
Evergarden’s meat stew meant that much to Sylvia.
Happiness in the past.
However, the moment she was banned from Ever Garden, she felt like she had fallen into an unknown depth of despair.
Because she felt that now there was no place left for her to remember her past.
Because she thought that the place that could prove the existence of the noblewoman, Sylvia Pollion, had completely disappeared.
It was definitely like that.
“Huh…”
It was more delicious than that.
Much more than the taste that proved he was a nobleman.
In addition to the taste, there was also someone who said that she was beautiful when she saw this old dress that she had changed into.
“Thank you…”
Sylvia swallowed the beef that melted in her mouth and thanked the two people.
Tears flowed, and my makeup smudged.
“It was something that had to be done. Sorry. Even though I was the store manager, I failed to look into the employees’ concerns in advance.”
“No. I am grateful just for providing me with a place to work.”
“Don’t worry too much. Sylvia: Elena and I don’t care if you are a noble or not. You are a valuable employee, and you will always be.”
“…”
It’s shameful.
If you prepare like this and make a comment like this, isn’t it hard to deny it?
“So you don’t have to be obsessed with Evergarden. But.”
Dojin sighed and continued.
“If you really think you need to go, you can always visit Evergarden. “I personally filled it with plenty of ingredients, so if you visit, I will welcome you.”
“Did you go there in person?”
“He’s a store manager who can do anything for his employees.”
Originally, I had no intention of sending Sylvia there.
Because I believe that someone who ignores someone once can be ignored a second or third time.
However, if going to Evergarden is a means for Sylvia to survive the present, there is nothing she can do.
I have no choice but to send it.
I’ve taken all measures to prevent her from daring to ignore her, so it’ll be okay.
If you do that again, you’ll have to do a home visit.
However, what came back was an unexpected answer.
“Are you okay. “I’m not going anymore.”
“You’re not going?”
“Yes. There is no need to go there.”
Sylvia, holding her utensil in her hand, smiled and looked down at the meat stew I had made.
The smile on his lips didn’t show the slightest worry or concern.
“Because I found a meat stew that was much more delicious than that.”
Only then do I feel at ease when I hear Sylvia’s voice without a trace of worry.
Thank goodness.
I feel like her mind has relaxed.
“I’m glad you enjoyed it.”
Actually, I was very worried.
It was just something I remembered from what I saw on YouTube.
She made it in various ways because she was afraid it might fail.
I believe that one of them will succeed.
Elena helped.
How excited she was to hear that we had to cook together at her house.
She still liked food.
Of all the dishes made, the buffet borguignon that Elena liked the most was served for Silvia.
I want you to heal the wounds you got in Evergarden.
Seeing him say that, it was clear that things had resolved to some extent.
“Manager.”
Sylvia, who was quietly eating stew, called me.
“Can you please cook me food like this once in a while? It’s okay if it’s not such high-end food. Even things like the Ozzy Fries you made before. “Sometimes I will live.”
“Didn’t you say you couldn’t eat because you had to save money?”
I remembered Sylvia, who said that if you don’t eat, you will earn 5 more gold.
“Are you okay. Now there is no place to spend that much money.”
“…”
“Is it okay if I ask you a favor?”
“Of course. “I’ll make it for you anytime.”
“Thank you. Store manager.”
Sylvia saw Dojin wearing her suit.
She clearly felt like she was wearing something awkward just a moment ago, but her suit looked much better than before.
‘Now that I see it, store manager, you look kinda cool.’
She is someone who knows how to put herself down for a part-time job.
Where can someone like this exist?
She thought Dojin was very cool like that.
