Idols Around the World 262

Chapter 262 – #39. Boss’ Temptation (1)

Lanna is a 21-year-old red-haired college student.
She, like any other woman her age, has fantasies about dating, and I am an ordinary person who expects that one day I will be able to experience beautiful love like I saw in dramas.
However, her life was not as happy as expected, nor was she able to have a beautiful love.
First of all, if I want to do something, I need to see you, but no matter how much I look for him, he is nowhere to be found.

‘Because there are only those disgusting bitches.’

Crunchy!

What’s so fun about it, the friends I met on a good weekend laughed and chatted.
All of them were mother-born singles with no ties to men.

“Aren’t you guys dating guys?”

Lanna said something that tasted like her mouth.
Even after she said it, she must have made a mistake.
As expected, the eyes of her friends become terrifying.

“Why is that bitch fighting all of a sudden?”
“Do you want to? It’s not that I don’t meet men, it’s that I can’t.”
“If you’re going to play like that, why don’t you introduce me to a guy?”

Lanna grabbed her neck, stinging at the angry eyes of her friends pouring down on her.

“No, I didn’t ask with the intention of covering it, I asked because I wanted to know why we couldn’t date. Me and you both look fine.”

All of them are flawless women, but they couldn’t date men.
She pointed out the underlying problem why they couldn’t get men, and hoped that if there was anything that could be fixed, she would fix it.
When she sees her working part-time because of the hardships of her life, she often gets out of breath, but it seemed like she could relieve that frustration only if she met a man.

“What are you so worried about? Anyone can see the answer.”
“Do you know the answer?”
“Huh. There is one reason why we can’t date. There are no men around.”
“!!”
“!!”
“Once I heard what you said, I think you were right. No matter how much I look around, there are no men.”
“Isn’t the teacher telling you that you can meet men in college a lie?”
“When you were in college, there wouldn’t have been as many men as this.”
“It has gotten serious lately. You talk about it every day on the news. There is not enough men.”
“More important than that is that if you happen to find a man, he already has an owner.”
“That’s right. If you want to seduce a man, you have to seduce a woman who owns it, but how easy can that be?”

Her friends start talking seriously.
As expected, it was hard to find the reason we couldn’t make a boyfriend like Lanna thought.
The reason we can’t date is because the number of men is extremely small.

“Is the government’s policy of compulsory sperm donation as a solution? You made something like that.”
“Even if we start it now, won’t we have a partner?”
“My husband hasn’t even been made yet. Shocking?”

My friends were almost giving up on dating men.

“I heard that there is an international marriage, but I want to try it.”
“If it’s an international marriage, is it Southeast Asian? Are there any men over there?”

Lanna let out a sigh.

‘Is it impossible to have a normal relationship?’

I didn’t expect much, but in reality, even normality has become impossible.

“Hey, we’re not going to pass the time like this, would you like to go here?”
“Where?”
“The owner of this cafe is a man, and he makes coffee himself.”
“Omg! Is your boss a man? What are you doing? It doesn’t happen right away.”
“No, I should ask the most important thing before that. Are you handsome?”
“Tell me what are you doing! Of course. But opening a cafe here is a blessing in disguise. Some days it’s open, some days it’s not. In fact, there are more days when it is not open.”
“You say you open and close it at will? How do you do business like that?”

It’s an unbelievable business strategy.
Lanna frowned at her.
She works and lives sweating all day long to earn money.
But when he told me that he ate well and lived well while working unfaithfully because he was a man, I suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Her friend asked Lanna, who was frowning.

“So you’re not going?”
“… No, I have to go.”

A woman was a weak being who could do nothing in front of a handsome man.

♧♧♧

Fortunately, the cafe was open.
I was lucky that most of the days were closed.
The problem is that the crowds waiting in line in front of the cafe are frightening as if this news has already spread to people.

“Wow, look at the line. It’s disgusting.”
“How good do you have to be to be that way?”

They were astonished to see a line that was more than they could have imagined.
No matter how handsome a man runs a cafe, it was a line that exceeded common sense.
This is because this is not the only shop run by a handsome man.

“You shouldn’t be disappointed with such high expectations…”
“Believe me. Really no joke They said you were going to attain Buddhahood by looking at your face.”
“But the line is too long. Can’t you wait and see?”
“It’s only takeout here, so it quickly shrinks. Even the menu is simple.”

She said that she omitted the menu that was difficult to make, and that she did not make chairs and tables on purpose, despite the fact that she does business with simple items and has space.

“You are wise.”
“If I made that, I think it would have caused a fight for space.”

The line shortened rapidly.
However, the number of people gathered around the store did not decrease easily.
There were even people waiting in line for coffee.
Also, when standing in line, he sipped his coffee carefully while smirking with a hazy expression, as if he remembered something.

“These people feel bad. Wow-!”
“It’s because I was possessed by the shop owner. We might be standing in line with faces like that later.”

The line behind them increased more than the line in front of them had shrunk.
And finally it was Lanna and her friends’ turn.

“We will help you order.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”

The four of them opened their mouths in unison and looked at the owner’s face with a blank expression.

‘Sah, is it a person?’

She rubbed her eyes wondering if she was looking at CG.
But the man in front of me didn’t change no matter how much I rubbed his eyes.
He really was a living man!
The shop owner smiled as if the girls’ reaction was familiar and kindly spoke again.

“Customer? I will help you order.”
“Ah… Omg! I’m sorry. You are so surprised…”
“It’s okay. Because it doesn’t happen once or twice. Haha.”

This man, even his voice is fantastic.
Lanna gave her spell by forcing her throat open as her breath was choking on her.
Her friends didn’t say anything and just stared at the store manager’s face.
At least Lanna was the only one who had a conversation with him.

“Uh? Are you looking for a part-time job?”

Lanna, who was barely taking her eyes off the face of her boss and was trying to take care of her friends, suddenly opened her mouth to ask her words that came into her field of vision.
The shop owner answered my questions skillfully while making her coffee.

“Yes. I am looking for a part-time job because I am doing something else. Do you have any thoughts?”
“Ah, you work separately. That’s why the time to open the cafe was flexible.”
“Actually, this cafe has been my dream for a long time. Maybe it’s like a hobby? I couldn’t stop working if I wanted to make a living, and I knew it wouldn’t be time, but I did it because I thought it would be a dream I would never be able to achieve if I stayed like this. I felt like I could give up if I rolled it cool.”

But contrary to expectations, business is doing very well.
Even though the opening hours are irregular and the business hours are short.
Ranna muttered to herself at her boss’s words.

‘There’s no way the store will go out of business with that face.’

Maybe as long as he exists, the cafe will never fail.

“It was difficult to manage the store by myself, so even if I tried to close it, the customers asked me to do business because it didn’t matter what time it was open. The idea was to find a part-time job.”
“If the owner isn’t there, why would this store exist?”

Maybe the number of customers will drop.

“Just because it’s okay to come sometimes… Are you having a hard time?”
“… I think you should choose your part-time job well.”

There won’t be only one or two customers looking for the boss, and it must be stressful for a part-time worker to handle them all.
The boss said with an innocent eye smile, whether he knew it or not.

“Yes. At first, I worked as a part-time job, but if I manage the store well, I’m thinking about hiring them as an employee. Since I don’t care much, I need someone who can work like my own store.”
“Are you an employee?”

Looking for an employee who can fully entrust the store?
Is the boss too busy to pay attention?

‘Isn’t that a bit of a job?’

Furthermore, if the relationship between the president and the employee is established, you will be able to see that face at least more often than the customer.
With that face, there was no need to talk about welfare.

“How much is the pay?”
“Well, since I have to trust the store completely, would you be satisfied if I gave you 20% of net sales?”
“Sue, 20% of net sales?”
“Won’t that make you work harder? Fortunately, the building is my own, so it doesn’t cost much to maintain.”
“!!”

Is the building your boss?
Even so, you pay your salary with net sales?

Lanna’s eyes shook violently.
Even after graduating from college, finding a job is difficult.
No, even if I get a job like that, I don’t think I’ll be able to earn more than I’ll be earning as an employee here.
It seemed that there was no need to worry about the daily sales even if people looking for the boss came in and out.

‘I don’t think it would be bad to work hard to grow this cafe like my own.’

With her many years of part-time work experience, she knew how to run a cafe.

“Okay~ Here’s the drink you ordered.”

While she was thinking about it, the drink came out.
I’ll make you do more!
Lanna bit her lip in her nervousness, then impulsively spat out her words, clenching both of her fists.

“Me, me! I am interested in a part-time job. How can I apply?”
“Ah! Really? Are you interested? Uh… Then would you please come inside?”
“Yes?! Now?”
“Yes! Now.”

The store manager was very active.
He said he had to hire an employee and closed the store without hesitation.
At her seat, she took care of writing her resume.
In the process, Lanna also had to abandon her friends…

‘Because that’s not important.’

The interview was very different from what I thought.
First of all, this handsome CG boss didn’t know much about cafe management.
And it was something he himself was aware of.

“Wow~ You worked part-time at a cafe for a very long time. You must know more than I do!”
“Most of us know how to operate. Of course, it may be different depending on the circumstances of the store.”

Since she was a minor, she worked part-time at a cafe, and the period of such work was a whopping 3 years.
If you’ve been around that much, you’ll know most of how the cafe works.
If a part-time student has been there for 3 years, the boss will trust and entrust a lot of things.

“I operate in a very fist-fighting way. There is a business partner, but I’m not sure if it’s a good place…”
“Um, can I give you some advice?”
“Yes! Anything.”
“Well, first of all, the coffee doesn’t taste good.”
“Ugh!”
“Where do you trade beans? After all, coffee beans are really important.”

The success of this shop was purely due to the face of the shop owner.
Coffee…

‘Even considering the cost performance, it’s not good.’

The store owner took out one of her business cards, thrilled by her sharp point.

“Uh… I completely trust and entrust this person here, and I’m dictating things. If I order something, please bring it.”

She accepted the order and checked the unit price.
Compared to the taste of coffee, the price of beans was ridiculously expensive, and many beans were discarded during irregular business hours.
Pathetic.
I didn’t know that throwing money on the floor would be a more productive activity.
Ranna’s fever rose in an instant, and she raised her voice without realizing it.

“You can’t do business like this! Felled… I will.”

The moment I saw the face of the boss while screaming.
Her anger has gone cold.

‘You’re so cute!’

With a tall figure that looks well over 180cm, bright brown hair that looks good, and a puppy-like face, she boasted a perfect match.
Does such a boss become sullen at her outcry?
It was obvious, but it was creating a great ripple effect.
The boss is so lovable that she couldn’t possibly be angry.
