Chapter 89 – Manager, Would You Like to Have Dinner? I Will Buy It. (Correction)
Silvia, who went up to her room, blushed as she felt the touch of her hand still lingering on her.
Dojin’s big hand holding her small hand.
The feeling of her fingers crossing one by one was still vivid.
The hand clasping that only lovers do.
‘I didn’t know you would do that…’
The whole time she was clasping her hands, her face was turning red and the corners of her mouth kept turning up, so she couldn’t come to her senses.
Actually, I don’t even remember what Do-jin said to Loika just now.
‘Silvia is my girlfriend, so don’t mess with her.’
‘If you do something that brings tears to her eyes, I won’t let you.’
Did she say this?
Even her memories were vague.
I clearly remembered Do-jin reassuring me that no one would attack me like this in the future.
Her fingers were really thick.
Hard.
“Joe, maybe you should have been a little more proactive in catching him…”
She muttered involuntarily, feeling sad that her hands were gradually disappearing.
At that time, she couldn’t do anything because her body was shaking just by clasping her hands.
All I could do was follow Dojin’s lead.
When she came to her senses, Roika had run away, and Do-jin sent her up, saying it would be best for her to rest today.
I unintentionally caused trouble to Dojin.
She said it was to chase away the academy students who kept attacking her, but it was her boyfriend. She even asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend.
If she were any other noble, she would definitely have refused in anger.
They say it’s not honorable.
However, as soon as Do-jin heard that, he took off her feet and gave it to her.
Much more actively than Sylvia thought.
She held her hands together and held her body close, adding ridiculous lies from the past.
Dojin was the kind of person who would do anything for her employees.
It was like that in the past at Evergarden, and it’s still like that now.
He had no hesitation in taking action.
That was cool.
That sight made her heart flutter.
“Ha.”
She felt jealous because she knew he was the one who could do the same to other employees.
I wish you could show that side to me only.
Because it’s something I can show even if it’s not me.
‘I’m jealous of Elena.’
Because she became a little more special with Do-jin.
The reason I was able to speak on equal terms with Princess Chloe and be jealous was because I had developed a special relationship with Dojin.
If you can’t do that, all you can do is relieve these feelings internally.
The more I thought about it, the more frustrated I felt.
Even if I hit hard with my fist, this frustrating feeling could not be relieved.
This feeling that was congesting my heart right now was definitely jealousy.
I promised myself several times that I would move forward, but I was unable to move forward actively towards Dojin.
Unlike her, Elena…
“There is no way for the relationship to progress if I don’t move forward.”
Because the store manager is a person who doesn’t have much insight into mugwort veins.
“Whoa.”
She took a deep breath and thought of Elena confessing that she likes Dojin and actually moving on to a good relationship.
“Me too…”
I like it.

“Hmm, no matter how I think about it, I think I did a good job.”
He successfully chased away the persistent flies that attacked him, and also clearly conveyed the rumors that he would spread around the academy in the future.
He’s dangerous, so don’t touch him.
I was concerned about the rumor spreading that Sylvia had a boyfriend, but I thought she would be okay since she was no longer a nobleman.
“Manager, is this really happening?”
When the employees asked, I shook my head.
“No way. “It’s just to scare you.”
“Ah, that’s true, isn’t it?”
“To hold the holy sword, one must have a pure heart, but is that really possible? “I said this as a joke, but I think he ran away because he was scared.”
“What did you say? Ho ho ho. Manager, you also have humor.”
The newly hired convenience store trainees had a good time.
I really liked how he chatted a lot and seemed sincere. I will work reassuringly at the convenience store from now on.
“But store manager, I have a question.”
“What is it? “Ask anything.”
A newly hired employee in his mid-30s asked me. He was an employee who had a soft voice suited to a convenience store, and was placed on the first floor.
“So, the store manager, are you dating Sylvia?”
“Yes?”
“You said you were your boyfriend.”
Hey, how should I explain this.
“No. She acted like that because circumstances arose.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
“But Sylvia seemed a little different.”
What is that?
“No. Sorry. “I got involved in other people’s dating business.”
The employee said he was sorry and smiled awkwardly.
Probably not.
I had a similar feeling during the Huya Festival.
Acting as if he likes me.
I thought it was just my excessive self-consciousness and ignored it.
Because.
Because she hasn’t shown any signs since then.
According to Sylvia’s excuse at the time, I thought it was strange because she felt depressed while trying to go to the academy.
But now that I think about it, her reaction just now.
‘No way, Sylvia… ?’
I was confident that I was not completely clueless.
If the feeling I felt during the Huya festival is true.
What should I do?
“It’s not something to talk about without the parties involved.”
“Yes. Ho ho ho.”
“Anyway, the working hours from now on are…”
I was talking with the employees about their future work.
“Manager, is the time okay?”
“Isn’t it up yet?”
“I went up and came down right away.”
“Why are you talking the way you used to…”
“It’s because I made my own determination!”
“Resolution?”
“Yes!”
There is something solemn.
This kind of look was familiar.
The facial expressions made by soldiers going into battle.
It was the kind of hard gaze that only soldiers prepared to lose everything could have.
It’s something that I’ve started to talk about again, which I didn’t do after I declared that I would pay off my debt in full and move forward with confidence.
Have you made a big decision?
My expression also hardened.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s nothing else, it’s because I can’t let this go.”
Her eyes were burning.
I felt like I might get burned if I touched it.
Ah, it’s hot.
“I’ll treat you to dinner! “I don’t think this will work!”
“It’s okay, don’t stress too much.”
“No! It was like that before, and now… I just have to accept it from the manager! Please let me treat you this time!”
“Oh my.”
“Be fresh.”
I can hear the voices of employees behind me.
They were looking at me and Sylvia with their mouths covered and their eyes smiling.
I saw Sylvia again.
She closed her eyes tightly and waited for my answer.
Seeing him biting his lip and trembling, I unconsciously remembered what the employee had just said.
Love business.
Surely?
Was my instinct really right?
‘I thought you helped me in one way or another to make Elena and I closer…’
“Okay. “I can come out after work today, right?”
“Yes! Of course!”
Her face brightened.
As I looked at Sylvia’s brightly shining face, a thought went through my mind.
But that thought did not last long.
-Tingle!
“Welcome. It’s a DG convenience store!”
Soon after, customers came flocking in.
***
“It’s done!”
When she returned to her room, she cheered without even realizing it.
I did it!
You did a great job!
“I’m the kind of woman who does it too!”
Although she was very nervous and had a hard time, she made an appointment with Do-jin in the name of hospitality.
Just taking one step forward like this and taking the next step is enough.
‘I can capture the heart of the store manager.’
What kind of clothes should I wear?
I recently bought some trendy clothes at a fashion shop that opened on the 4th floor, but overall, the clothes were cheap.
Wouldn’t Dojin like a slightly more luxurious outfit?
‘Wouldn’t it be the same to wear academy uniforms to a meal?’
Although I still cared about Elena.
‘I’m not saying I’m going to date right away… I just want to eat together once.’
It was then.
Thump.
“Silvia, what’s going on?”
Elena’s voice was heard outside the door.
Sylvia and Elena, who live next door to the accommodation located on the second floor of the convenience store, are immediate neighbors.
It seemed like he was worried about Sylvia’s sudden shout.
Why is it like this?
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
“It’s nothing, I just heard a huge noise. “Please open the door.”
No.
If you look at Elena’s face now.
It was clear that she would not be able to overcome the rising guilt.
“Oh, no. Because it’s okay.”
“It’s okay… Hurry and open the door. If there is any injury…”
“It’s really okay. So take a break. “I have to go out later.”
I couldn’t hear Elena’s voice outside the door.
How long had passed? Elena spoke again from beyond the door.
“It’s been a little strange since I entered her sister’s academy. Aren’t you going to do something strange at the academy? She happened to see a strange man at the entrance earlier…”
“No. Of course. Do I look like the kind of person who would do something like that? And that person has nothing to do with it.”
“I really respect you. I think it’s thanks to Sylvia that I’m able to get along well with the store manager… If she’s having a hard time with anything, she tells me everything. “She can do anything her sister asks.”
The weight of guilt hung heavily in Sylvia’s heart.
Her mouth didn’t drop
“Yes… Okay. Elena.”
This short answer was barely uttered.
“Okay then, get some rest.”
“Yes, Elena, you too.”
My heart is heavy.
Is this really okay?
Is it okay for me to betray Elena, who I like and depend on me, and attack the store manager like this just for me?
My heart is pounding.
Sylvia, who hesitated, recalled Dojin gently holding her hand.
-I will help you. My own little princess.
Sylvia’s imagination has now been adapted as she pleases.
‘I can’t give up either. How can I tolerate something like this…’
She has already reached a point of no return.
“Elena, later I will kneel and pray. “I’m sorry.”
She touched up her makeup, sprayed on her perfume and changed into her most beautiful clothes.
To get one step closer to Dojin.
***
Sylvia came out wearing a dress with a modern design, a see-through dress that slightly showed her inner body line.
A black dress that matches her red hair.
I held my breath as I saw her putting on all her strength and decorating herself.
‘Love business.’
The love business that the employee mentioned came to mind.
Let’s check.
I really felt like she liked me. Was it just an illusion or was it true?
“Well, how am I?”
Silvia spoke with a trembling voice and could not make eye contact with me.
“It’s pretty.”
Sylvia’s face became as red as her hair.
