Chapter 60
Upon hearing Annette's words, Thomas' eyes shook as weakly as reeds.His eyes were half doubtful of what he had heard.Unsure of Annette's will, Thomas deliberately accepted it calmly.
“Is that so? Your Excellency, the Marquis, will be very happy to hear it. To think that your wife cares not only about Ansalim, but also about running the mine! As a man like him, I really envy the Marquis, hee hee.”
Thomas laughed heartily, but the tips of his eyebrows twitched slightly. From Thomas' point of view, she couldn't be happy about her attention to her. She, like Lapel, had to leave the operation together, and take her attention her away so that Thomas could have his own way her. Naturally, wariness appeared in his eyes as he looked at Annette.
Seeing this, Annette gracefully raised his hand her and rested his chin on it. Then a large diamond tucked over her velvet glove and she gave off a dazzling light. A perfect bait to attract attention. The moment Thomas' eyes turned to the diamond, Annette smiled aggressively.
“Right. He has little interest in mines. That's why…… Shouldn't precious things also belong to those who recognize their value? What do you think of Mr. Bradley?”
“… Yes? Excuse me ma'am, what are you talking about? I, I understand…….”
Annette looked at Thomas, who was flustered, and smiled even more bewitchingly. It was the smile I learned from seeing and learning from Raileen. For this moment, she delicately dressed up in fancy clothes and showed Thomas too much favor. Annette tilted her head In a coy manner and whispered to Thomas, her eyes shining.
“I mean. I think I could do much better if I became the owner of the mine. Both in terms of operations and in terms of revenue. And maybe… Can you give a fairly thick last name to the loyal caretaker who helped me?”
Upon hearing Annette's proposal, Thomas' eyes widened in shock.It was the look on her face that she never thought he would ever hear from her.Seeing this, Annette became more confident.He naturally got water in the smoke as well.Annette tilted her head, smiled like a cat and put pressure on Thomas.
“What do you think, Mr. Bradley? Are you willing to help me?”
“Madam, that…… It's so sudden, I don't know how to answer it.”
Thomas' bald head moistened with resentment. In fact, for his part, he could n't help but be embarrassed. Because he had infiltrated as a mine manager in Rapel under the orders of Allah Mand. She wondered if the employer's daughter had stepped in on her, saying that she coveted the mine too. Having embarrassed Thomas as much as she wanted, Annette decided to take a step back.
“Looks like you need some time to think, Mr. Bradley.”
“Yes, ma'am. I'm really sorry, but I can't give you an answer right now.”
Thomas, who was sweating profusely, snapped at Annette's bait her Annette did n't get an answer, so she shook her head and nodded An awkward silence passed between the two for a moment Annette was the first to break the silence.
“Then Mr. Bradley. I hear you are from West Dayrun?”
“That's right, ma'am. Are you familiar with Dayrun?”
He must have faked his hometown anyway, but Thomas answered Annette's question with a smile. It was also a very good acting skill. But Annette agreed to be lenient and tricked him. After all, he himself was cheating on Thomas right now. Annette, who had a curious expression on her face her, tilted her head and asked.
“I heard that there is a popular traditional song in the Dayrun region? I heard it by chance before, and the sound is richer than I thought and it was good to listen to. 'T 't sure what the song meant. Mr. Bradley is from there, so you know him well, don't you?”
“I am a tradition or a word? That… It is.”
A single drop of sweat ran down Thomas 'dazzling head his his.Even though I memorized the specialties of my fake hometown and famous places, it was impossible until the tradition.But it was fine.Because Annette did n't know anyway.
'It's all made up.'
Annette smiled brightly, hiding her true feelings of her.Then he asked, blinking his eyes as innocently as if he did n't suspect Thomas.
“Yes. I'm lacking in skills, but would you like to listen? I really want to know what the song is about.”
“Ah, yes yes. Of course!”
Thomas, his face brightening, nodded his head knowingly. It was a moment of panic as I didn't know anything about the traditional yo of the Dayrun region. I wondered what would happen if the pod was caught and his identity his was exposed because of this. But to hear that Annette would call her first, I was truly grateful. After hearing the meaning of the song, wouldn't it be enough to talk about it casually?
“Then, it's embarrassing, but I'll call you a little bit.”
Annette cleared Thomas 'throat, pretending not to know what he was thinking.Then Thomas, with a flattering smile, bowed his head and read himself to concentrate on her song her.After confirming this, Annette opened her mouth and started singing a random song.
The morning sun is golden
the afternoon sun is white
the evening sun is red
And when the moon rises, everything disappears
It was really any song.But the effect was certain.Thomas, who was leaning forward, fell asleep on the table.A loud snoring sound began to come from him.After confirming this,Annette quickly rose from her seat her her .
'I don't have much time. We must find evidence that Thomas is a traitor in it.'
As a regressor, Annette's 'special ability' was to put people to sleep. Fortunately, the ability was effectively immediately, so most of them fell asleep within 30 seconds. The duration of the ability.
If the opponent is a person who lacks sleep like Lapel, the duration lasts longer. However, if you forcefully put a mentally deranged person to sleep, the effect lasts less than 5 minutes. Quickly as possible.
Annette walked around the drawing room, touching everything that caught her eye her. However, there was nothing special on the shelf near the table or on the bookshelf. According to Reileen's report, Thomas didn't get a house in this particular neighborhood. , Thomas took up lodging and lodging together in the large mining office building.
'Then the only thing left is over there.'
When Annette first entered Thomas' drawing-room, he approached the back door, which he had noticed. Perhaps inside this door was Thomas' “Private” Living space his. But the door was firmly locked. Annette hurried back to Thomas and carefully searched into his arms.
'Key, key… Found!!'
Something resembling a key was touched in the inside pocket of Thomas' right vest of his. But Thomas was asleep on the table, lying face down, so I couldn't get the key to the inside pocket. Annette whipped and grabbed Thomas by the shoulders and lifted him up. Fortunately, after struggling, I was able to retrieve the key from his vest pocket, but a problem arose.
“Um….. . “
Thomas frowned and showed signs of waking up. After a while, the loud snoring sound disappeared. Embarrassed, Annette quickly sang a song and put Thomas back to sleep. He doubted that the person who used the ability once would be able to use it again , but fortunately, Thomas fell asleep again. A paused growl flowed from his nose, and Annette let out a sigh of relief.
'I almost got into trouble.'
His hands her trembled as he sensed the danger of Srey's work once again.It was a very tense moment for Annette, who had always lived as a flower in the greenhouse and as a good child.But he had no time to hesitate.Grabbing the warm key from Thomas's body heat, Annette hurriedly unlocked the door at the back of the drawing room. Inside was a bedroom that smelled a bit musty.
'Please, I hope you can find some evidence…… !'
Annette prayed inwardly and entered Thomas's bedroom. He wanted to bring some results to Lapel, who believed in him and entrusted him with the work. And on this occasion, he hoped to cut off his father's hand reaching for the rappel.
Fortunately, her prayers of her were soon rewarded.

“Thank you very much for giving my rudeness, ma'am.”
Thomas, who woke up from a deep sleep, brushed shyly.Then his hair went red too, making Thomas look like a big boiled octopus.Annette politely looked away from his bald head and smiled sweetly.
“Oh, you can do that if you are tired. I believe Mr. Bradley worked so hard for the mining business.”
“You are so generous, I just appreciate it. Well, I'll seriously think about your request. So please give me a little time.”
Thomas still seemed to believe that Annette was a seducer who coveted her husband's mines. He lowered his voice to a whisper, and Annette gave him a coy glance and nodded. With that said anyway, he's going to call his father his and ask how he's going to handle this.
But it didn't matter. Now, under the hem of Annette's rich dress, Thomas's embezzlement data was hidden. As soon as he returned to Rapel with this, Thomas was finished. So he won't even have a chance to get a reply from Allah Mand. Annette smiled gracefully, still suppressing his beating heart her.
“Goodbye then, Mr. Bradley. It was really nice to meet you.”
“It was an honor for me too, madam. Then be careful on your way.”
Thomas did not realize why Annette greeted him with “Goodbye” Instead of “Goodbye.” He just said it must have been in vain, and passed it off as nothing. And that was the last thing Thomas Bradley (pseudonym) saw of Annette.
