It was quite a challenging task, but getting promoted to a managerial position sounded attractive to Jane.
“All right. I’ll give it a try.”
“I’ll raise your salary to 2.1 million. How about that?”
At Rose’s words, Jane’s mind quickly worked.
“Wait a moment.”
She put on a businesslike expression and spoke her opinions methodically.
“For a middle management position, 2.1 million res is quite high.”
Jane put her hands on her cheeks and rested her face on them.
“Shouldn’t you give me 2.5 million?”
2.5 million…!
In response to Jane’s request to raise her salary by six months’ worth of living expenses for commoners, Rose immediately entered into negotiations.
“Well, that seems too much. Let’s go with 2.15 million.”
Seeing Rose raising her salary, Jane, as if she agreed, spoke to Rose again.
“How about 2.3 million?”
“2.2 million.”
“Then 2.25 million!”
“Hmm.”
As Jane spoke, Rose looked at her, sweeping her chin and giving her a playful smile before saying cheerfully,
“It won’t work. Let’s consider this negotiation null and void.”
“…What?!”
Jane, who had been looking quite serious, looked at Rose with bunny eyes in an instant.
“The conditions don’t seem right.”
Rose got up from her seat without any hesitation. Then, she made a farewell gesture toward Jane.
Jane followed Rose, grabbing the hem of her sleeve.
“Uwaah! Wait a moment.”
She was sniffling without realizing that Rose was joking.
“You don’t have to raise my salary; just don’t leave.”
It was just a joke, but she didn’t know it would make her cry like this. Desperately, Rose spoke to Jane.
“Oh, Jane. Don’t cry. It was just a joke.”
“Uwaah! I really don’t want to go back to Marquis Wence!”
Jane, crying, raised her shoulders. Rose consoled her, speaking gently.
“Sorry, Jane. I always wanted to take you with me. I’ll raise your salary to 2.3 million. So, now stop crying!”
At Rose’s words, Jane’s tears stopped as if they were a lie.
“Really… Are you really raising it to 2.3 million?”
“Okay.”
Jane’s innocent gaze toward Rose suddenly changed. At Rose’s answer, Jane smiled cunningly and curled the corners of her mouth.
‘What’s with this expression!’
Jane, speaking brightly to Rose as if asking when she cried, said,
“Okay. I won’t change my mind later!”
“…”
It seems Rose was the one who got played by Jane.
Jane was a step above Rose.
She went back to the sofa and sat down. Then, she picked up the bread on the table.
“Mm, this is delicious.”
Eating the bread in one bite, she said to Rose,
“Miss Rose, your legs must be sore. Please sit down quickly.”
Jane’s sunny expression as she gestured with her hand was enough to make one laugh.
Rose stared at Jane with slightly narrowed eyes, then chuckled and smiled.
Jane had no idea that Rose’s parents, the Serviat couple, had any connection with the Grand Duke.
“Oh, well, we are not that close.”
“Really?”
In response to Rose’s words, Jane widened her eyes as if surprised.
‘But it seemed like she was putting in quite an effort for Miss Rose.’
Visiting the marriage ceremony of the Wence Marquis family, which was not even related to the Serviat couple, making Donna kneel in front of Rose, and more.
‘Well, even if it wasn’t for Miss Rose, anyone treated like that by someone would have reacted the same way.’
With Rose’s words, Jane nodded, thinking that she might have been mistaken.
Rose and Jane were unaware that the Grand Duke rarely bothered commoners.
The Grand Duke’s sword was pointed towards the nobles trying to pull him down, not the powerless commoners.
Therefore, all his actions at the wedding were for Rose.
“It’s already this late. We should go in soon.”
The clock’s hands were already pointing at 9 o’clock. The store where Jane and Rose were also preparing to close.
“If anything happens, contact us here.”
Rose handed Jane the Serviat couple’s address.
“Quit your job starting today.”
“I plan to go and pack immediately.”
In response to Rose’s words, Jane nodded and made a determined expression.
“I think I need to meet the princess for my business to progress.”
“You’re going to meet the princess?”
“Yeah. Duke Artem has agreed to let me meet the princess.”
“Wow, that’s really impressive.”
Jane looked at Rose with an awe-inspiring gaze.
When did she become so refined? Looking at Rose, she felt strangely moved.
“I don’t know what to buy for the princess’s birth celebration.”
“The birth… celebration?”
Jane’s expression froze for a moment at Rose’s words.
“Ah, you’re going to, going to the event with Duke Artem, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
At Rose’s words, Jane’s heart started to beat irregularly.
Thump thump.
‘Perhaps the princess will drink the wine given by Duke Artem without any suspicion. Even a small amount could be a dangerous situation.’
‘Duke Artem will never be able to avoid the suspicion of poisoning Princess Diana.’
Conversations between Cedric and his subordinates.
Memories of that day that she tried to forget came back to her.

really disliked him
