Chapter 285 – #44. New Year (3)
On TV, lavish stars were receiving awards at the year-end awards ceremony.
“I really like people like that. Someone will give you a prize.”
“These are the people who earn our wages with just one breath.”
“Is our boss in a place like that?”
A person with a lot of money
Just looking at it, the clothes he wears and his usual actions show a sense of composure.
“Maybe he’s meeting girls at a fancy party and haha.”
“Hey~ Why do you have such gloomy thoughts! Straighten your shoulders proudly! What are you lacking!”
“No matter how good a friend you are, you shouldn’t lie. To be honest, there are a lot of differences between the two.”
“Why can’t you agree!!!!”
Her friend, who lashed out at her ignorant friend, caught Lanna in a hurry as her self-esteem pierced the floor and reached her inner core.
“Hey, don’t dig into the ground while imagining a mess by yourself, do it coolly! I will call you.”
“He said he couldn’t contact you because he was busy.”
“What does that have to do with you! Just do it!”
Despite her friend’s hot encouragement, Ran did not readily pick up her cell phone.
“It’s okay. Just be patient It’s a nuisance. I don’t want to burden you.”
“If that’s the case, don’t be gloomy. You kept digging and imagining things you weren’t sure about, so you’re asking me to call you because you’re worried about me.”
Even though she coolly suggested her solution, Lanna did not listen.
In the end, there is only one way.
“At times like this, drinking is the answer! Drink it! Drink more!”
She was drinking
Very very much!
The time was approaching midnight, and on the TV I could see stars clad in fancy dresses and suits clapping.
I know their applause is not for us, but something to know!
All you have to do is insist that the applause is for yourself.
“Stop talking nonsense from now on! Each of you talking about your goals and drinking? I will be unconditionally virgin next year!”
“Ooh! Good night! Me too! I will fall in love too!”
“I will do well with that character.”
“Yaaang!”
“Lanna, are you? Tell me your goals for next year.”
“My goal…”
Lanna took another sip of the drink from her glass and lost herself in her thoughts.
What should I aim for next year?
Unlike before, the cafe is now hiring part-time workers and opening the shop in a stable manner in the morning.
As her cafe stabilized, her monthly profits were increasing as well.
“Raising a lump sum?”
“What, nothing has changed! Do you have any more specific and progressive wishes?”
Every year, her goal for this year was to ‘raise a lump sum’.
A mother who refuses to take care of her home because of her obsession with her father who has gone to another woman.
Two younger siblings with a big age difference who only look at her.
Her family was a huge burden to her, and from the time she was a minor, she had to earn money to feed her family.
It would have been impossible for her to go to college if her father had not conscientiously provided 1 million won per month in child support.
‘Her mother had an accident and she became less and less.’
My dad hated my mom who was overly obsessed with him.
So, the degree to which her mother gave birth to us is just plain.
Even the slightest lack of responsibility from her father would have left her and her brother starved to death.
Ranna, who grew up in charge of a family at a young age, needed ‘money’.
‘Money’ enough for her younger siblings to finish their studies safely.
Enough ‘money’ to buy her younger siblings what they want.
To the extent that you can eat what you want to eat.
‘For the first time in my bank account, I added another 0.’
For the first time, the money that had been flowing out without exceeding the usual unit began to accumulate for the first time.
From her point of view, she was just working like a regular part-time job, but she couldn’t get used to it because the unit came in so much that she wondered if this was really my money.
‘If money continues to accumulate like this…’
Even the meaningless goal of ‘collecting money’ every time will be able to succeed without difficulty.
Didn’t the boss even give you the position of manager, saying he wanted to hold on to you for a long time?
“I want to drop out of school.”
“What?!”
“Nonsense. Why are you doing such a wasteful thing?”
You shouldn’t trust men.
Before her mother went to sleep, she said sweetly at her bedside.
Unfortunately, Lanna didn’t understand her words the way her mother hoped.
‘Isn’t it okay if I don’t give you faith in the first place? Why are you holding on to someone you don’t like? Can’t we just let it go? Why should my father be number one in everything? Can’t you think of us a little more? I will never live like my mother!’
She won’t let a man run her life.
Her words that she would drop out of college were no different from a great decision because she always had that kind of thought.
“I have already decided.”
After all, I am also my mother’s daughter.
But the result will be different from her mother’s.
‘Because at least I’ll have some money left.’
The boss took care of everything about her as if she knew what she was thinking.
Is it because you go to work?
Unlike her father, who bought her mother’s clumsy trust through an invisible means called ’emotion’, the boss bought her trust through a legally effective means called a contract.
The contract had a fixed period, and there was a penalty for breaking the contract.
‘Writing a contract can be considered unusual, but in fact, relying on emotions is very difficult for each other. Since we’d almost screwed up once, I thought it would be better to be certain. As time goes by, trust will come naturally. Until then, let’s spend time together comfortably with this contract.’
I also wanted to show something of her because of the boss’s consideration.
Since he first showed his ‘faith’, she should repay her faith by showing him something worthy of it.
‘The only thing I can show you is dropping out of school.’
I wanted to express my trust in him by giving up something a little bigger, but since I had nothing, that was the only thing I could give him.
“I do not know. Even if you oppose it, I don’t think it will be heard, so I won’t object with your mouth hurting. I just hope you made the right choice.”
“Thank you.”
“Uh… Me too!”
“Yes, yes. You don’t notice, it’s not that you don’t have a cheap. Loyalty!!”
“Yeah! Loyalty!!”
Liquor goes in and out.
They say you shouldn’t drink alcohol, but unfortunately, today’s alcohol was really sweet.
I ran without looking at anyone else.
After the first round, the second round gathered at her room and her friends stopped drinking again.
“Ooh, get drunk.”
“You also? Me too! Kyahaha!”
One of them was already sleeping in the corner, and he emptied the bottle with his friend who had survived.
And it was the moment when the other friend also collapsed and was about to sleep with his head resting on the pillow.
Clap-!
“Um… ?”
I heard the sound of the door opening, and my sleep ran away.
However, since I was still half asleep, my body couldn’t move right away.
‘What are you talking about… ?
‘Who came in?’
For a moment, goosebumps jumped up and I tried to move my body.
If only it hadn’t been for a friendly stroke from a stranger on the head!
“Looks like you had a party with your friends. I was worried that I would be alone, but I’m glad I did.”
It was a familiar, longing voice.
She tried to move her body to wake up.
However, her body, which had become caked with alcohol, did not move as her master ordered.
‘I have to come to my senses.’
She reminded herself of her family.
Bottles of alcohol will be rolling around, and leftover snacks will be scattered on the floor.
‘And what about my friends?’
Like Lanna, her friends who have been eaten up and turned into dogs will be snoring at her.
It will probably look ugly to the point of being unsightly.
‘I’m embarrassed!’
How did I sleep
Fortunately, I don’t think I slept badly.
The most fortunate thing is that she washed and slept.
‘I brushed my teeth! That’s enough.’
Praise myself, the strongest drinker among my friends!
-Crush rustle
I hear something being cleared.
“Your back will hurt if you sleep like this…”
The gentle voice of her boss, who cares about her, whispers in her ear.
The boss lifted her body as if lifting a light object.
As I was held in the arms of the boss, I could smell men’s cologne from him.
Pounding, pounding!
‘Ah… I want to be held forever.’
I like his warm arms.
She regretted calling her friends over and spending the end of the year drinking.
If I had known it would be heard like this even at such a late hour, I would have waited more calmly.
‘I have to wake up right now!’
Flash!
“!!!”
She finally moved her body and opened her eyes.
And.
Chirp- Chirp- Chirp-!
Unfortunately, the sun was shining outside the window.
Kuuuuul-
Growl- growl- kuck… Knock!
“President!?”
Taking a quick look around the house, it’s clear that what happened yesterday wasn’t a dream.
Apparently, she slept without cleaning up, but the house was neatly cleaned.
Moreover, she slept with only a pillow, but before she knew it, a soft blanket was covering her body.
Until the boiler running hot.
It’s all parts of her that she didn’t touch before she went to bed.
“… Are you gone?”
She knew right away that there were only a few rooms, so there were no people.
He couldn’t hide his regret because the scent of the boss still hung over his nose.
‘Why did you drink so stupidly!’
If I hadn’t drank and slept peacefully, I would have woken up when the boss came.
And if so?
Gulp!
Sex may have come out.
Ecstatic sex with the boss.
There may be people who have never tried it, but I’m sure no one has ever done it once.
Opportunities to have sex with a busy boss were rare, and each meeting was valuable.
“Cadet… Head hurts.”
My stomach hurt a lot.
Ran Na stood up from her seat, feeling regretful that her boss was not around.
She glared resentfully at her friends, who were still snoring and sleeping, and then went to the kitchen to make her own coffee.
“Eh?”
And to her surprise, her black bag with something of hers greeted her in her kitchen.
“What is this?”
There was what appeared to be a note from the boss on her table.
[I think I drank a lot, so I bought it to soothe my sore heart by eating a meal. Just put the ingredients in a pot, bring to a boil, and eat. I’ll contact you.]
Put what looks like a chunk of meat into the white broth and boil it with pepper and green onions.
When the bubbling pot gave off a bad smell, the sleeping zombies squirmed and moved.
“Anyway, one thing to eat…”
“Uuuuu… Sniff sniff! Is this a distant smell?”
“Woo-wook… ! Woo!”
One runs to the bathroom, and the other crawls to the kitchen and sniffs.
I sighed when I remembered that the boss must have seen that hideous appearance.
“Get up and eat! Do you know how ugly you were yesterday?”
“All of a sudden.”
“Aww, it hurts. Did you make this? Doesn’t it smell bad?”
“Don’t you know that the boss came at dawn?”
“Huh?”
“President? Your lover?”
“Uh. You came in the morning The boss bought this too. Eat you guys.”
“!!!!!!!!!!”
“Uh, you saw that scene yesterday? When are we sleeping?”
Nod!
“Ahh! Now? Are you sure you’re not hiding?”
“Of course you went. What time is it now?”
“It’s too bad. You should have woken me up!”
“I became a dog because of alcohol, so why wake you up? What a nuisance to do.”
In fact, she was too drunk to talk to her boss and had to let her go, which she never intended to tell.
After appeasing her friends who expressed her regret and stuffing unknown food into her stomach, she sent them back to their respective homes, and as soon as they were alone, they contacted the boss.
There were so many things she wanted to ask him.
