At times like this, explanations should be brief. Lengthy excuses lead to a longer scolding from a superior.
Klaus’s wrathful voice echoed above me.
“For things you don’t know well, stay out of them! Do you think it’s a good thing to be the talk of high society? Going along so easily with that woman, it’s not like you at all!”
“…!”
More than any other words, the phrase ‘not like you at all’ stabbed my heart.
Rather than being angry, it was more heartbreaking.
I felt so stupid for disappointing him.
I still don’t know exactly what I did wrong. However, just the fact that I couldn’t meet his expectations has undermined my confidence. My self-esteem has crumbled. “I’m truly sorry…” Tears seemed about to fall, but in front of the boss, you must never cry. Because it’s not mature. “…” Klaus didn’t say anything. With my head bowed, I only looked at his shoes in my field of vision. Soon, he got up and walked somewhat slowly and unsteadily outside the greenhouse. I slowly lifted my head. “Phew…” And took a deep breath. The empty greenhouse was incredibly silent. It was undoubtedly refreshing here a while ago, but now it felt like everything had withered and become dreary.
“…” I fell into a melancholic mood. After work, I should have a drink. Soon, I returned to my bustling office. Klaus was nowhere to be found; it seemed like he had gone elsewhere. Well, it’s better that way. Better than it being awkward, I suppose. I immediately wrote a letter to Mrs. Ferner.
“Phew, is this okay?” Due to leaving my seat during the morning, there was a pile of documents to be processed. Regardless of whether I felt like a beggar or not, I had to work hard.
A sigh escaped, but it was rather fortunate. When there’s a lot of work, I can concentrate on it without sinking into negative emotions.
It was somewhat comforting to have something to do forcibly when feeling down. After spending time working, overwhelming emotions that seemed impossible to overcome sometimes felt like small puddles.
One can’t avoid negative emotions while living life. However, it’s possible to let them go moderately.
“…” One by one. The documents I finished checking piled up on one side of the desk.
And Klaus didn’t return.
“Welcome!”
I found the pub that Rutz had told me about. The owner welcomed me cheerfully.
I raised my hand slightly to greet and immediately ordered at an empty table.
“A beer and a plate of grilled seasoned meat.”
“Yes, sir!”
It felt different from when I came with Rutz. Back then, it felt like a lively pub, but today, it felt lonely, like a solitary tavern where someone drinks soju alone.
Soon, the beer arrived. I drank it all at once before the side dishes even came.
“Phew.”
It felt like my blocked stomach was slightly clearing.
“…”
Did Klaus disappoint me a lot? Am I still angry that I see the world too easily?
I thought it would be better if Mrs. Ferner’s case became more widely known, so I accepted her plea, but from Klaus’s perspective, it might be considered a foolish act.
It’s all my fault. It’s because I’m not familiar with the lives of nobles.
In that regard, Lumie might be adapting better than me. After all, she has become the very Elfreda elf princess.
Now that I think about it, Lumie said she personally hosts the banquet, right? Impressive. It’s amazing how she has already taken charge to this extent.
Is she reviewing the materials I gave her properly? It must be busy to study for the banquet preparations.
“Cooking is served!”
Just then, the meat arrived. I ordered another glass of beer from the staff.
A piece of meat and a sip of alcohol.
Amidst the noise, it felt strange to be quiet alone.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
