The Villainess Wants To Live Quietly

"Huh?"

I was shocked and froze.

I turned my head, creaking like a broken robot.

His face was right in front of my nose.

Funnily enough, Dominic was also embarrassed.

His silver-grey eyes behind his round glasses trembled aimlessly as if it had been unintentional.

He hesitated and took a step back. Then he suddenly lowered his head.

"Sorry."

"Yes, yes?"

"I'll see you in 15 days."

Then very quickly he disappeared before my eyes.

Quite quickly.

Thump thump.

Thump thump thump thump.

My heart was pounding as if there had been an earthquake. My fingertips turned red and heat rose to the back of my neck.

"What on earth is happening now?"

Mr. Dominic just left.

A bomb exploded so big that I couldn't handle it!!!

***

Do you know what a thief kiss is?

It refers to kissing like a thief without the other person noticing. And I've been in deep trouble lately. What happened to me is the question of whether it was a stolen kiss or not.

'Was that even a kiss in the first place?'

It probably wasn't even 1 second. Dominic's lips... This is what touched my forehead and fell. Of course, I still remember that feeling.

It was hot and soft.

"OMG."

No. Let's stop thinking about this.

In any case, it would be difficult to call it a kiss when our lips touched and separated that much.

Forehead kiss? Yeah, that's just fine.

Mr. Dominic kissed me on the forehead like a thief.

Why?

First, it's just an ordinary greeting. It just involved a little skinship.

Second, Dominic likes me.

Unless you're a blind person, you probably won't choose the first hypothesis.

"Dominic says he likes me..."

The moment I said those words, my head started to heat up. After saying it out loud, it feels like it has become the truth.

To be honest, there have been many signs so far. There were times when he acted a little selfishly, which was difficult to see as simply being kind to a colleague.

It's the first time I've ever expressed it so directly...

Then what about me?

Do I like Mr. Dominic? 

He was a sweet and kind person. However, I felt more secure when I was with Dominic than with Rosenia's family.

Meeting Dominic was like a ray of light in my difficult life of possession.

There is no one who communicates better than Dominic. There were many times when we ended up talking late into the night without noticing the passage of time.

Face? He look handsome. Although not as good as the male leads, he had a warm charm and, above all, his voice was really good.

"Ah..."

I covered my face with both hands. Both cheeks are hot.

I think I'm in big trouble.

So how are we going to wait for Dominic to come back?

"No, but wait a minute."

As I was lying face down on my desk, I suddenly remembered something and got up.

Dominic obviously said he was sorry after kissing me.

Why are you sorry?

What is there to be sorry for? Dominic likes me, and I like Dominic too.

Was it just a momentary mistake?

Faced with an unexpected problem, I just suffered.

Annie, who was worse off, asked with a worried look on her face.

"Lady, do you have any concerns?"

I was about to open my mouth, but then sighed. Then he opened I mouth again and held it back.

"Never mind..."

"I guess it's nothing?"

“...Hey, this is my friend's story."

Where does Rosenia have friends?

I felt like I was completely screwed from the start, but Annie was already focusing on me. In the end, I spoke with a feeling of despair.

"There is someone who was in a good mood these days, but that person is tall... No, he showed that he liked her and said he was sorry. Why do you think he's doing that?"

"Is that by any chance Dominic's story?"

"Cough, cough."

I was surprised. I was gurgling vigorously, so Annie brought me a glass of water.

I couldn't bear to look at her face, so I half looked away.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. By the way, is that what Dominic said? It's more sophisticated than it looks."

"I never said I was talking about Mr. Dominic."

"Yes, yes. Anyway, I think so. It seems like the other person is pushing and pulling."

I opened my mouth.

"Push and pull?"

"Yes. If only I could listen to the explanation given by the Vice President. He suddenly approached and suddenly pulled back, pretending not to happen."

"But anyway, pushing and pushing means that the other person also has feelings for me, or rather, my friend, right?"

"Well, that's usually the case, right? Well, sometimes there are bad people who like to play with people's hearts."

"..."

"Do not worry. In my opinion, Dominic is a sincere and trustworthy person. What a reputation he has among other employees."

"I guess so.... No, it's not about Dominic?"

Annie smiled slightly as if she understood everything. Annie had already established my friend's story as the story of me and Dominic.

That's the correct answer, though.

Ugh. I wish you wouldn't show it in front of Dominic.

"Bigger than that. What happened to what I ordered?"

I was so embarrassed that I could no longer raise my head, so I deliberately changed the topic.

Fortunately, Annie was a true employee who cared about her employer's feelings.

"I had an employee go to Dentz. Last night, we delivered gifts to everyone without exception."

"What was the reaction?"

"Some people were surprised by the sudden visit, but most of them were happy to receive it. He asked me to make sure to say thank you to you."

"Okay? I was a little worried about whether it would be okay, but I'm relieved to hear that he seems to like it."

Besides finding Margaret, I had given Annie one more task. It was a matter of giving gifts to supervisors from the imperial palace.

I mean, please take good care of it until the construction is completed.

If I were to really argue, it was a bribe, but I didn't give them a chest of gold as a gift, so I didn't think this would be a problem. At most, I only gave winter gloves, a muffler, and a hat.

Although it is Dentz's work, which is sponsored by the Prince of the Kingdom of Borsha and has recently become extremely rare.

'Dominic also told me it seemed like a good idea.'

As I was inadvertently thinking about Dominic again, I suddenly came to my senses.

If this continues, I'll just think about Dominic all day long.

Let's work, work!

***

Just as Rosenia was thinking about Dominic all day, Calix was in a similar situation.

"Why did I do that?"

He banged his head in the air several times a day. This is because he could not believe his impulsive actions.

It was clearly a trip to the Pontry mine that he decided to take to distance himself from Rosenia. So wasn't that why he deliberately refused her offer to eat?

But before he left, he kissed Rosenia's forehead.

He loves how she is visibly disappointed that he will be away for 15 days.

Calix doesn't know why he felt that way. But at that moment, he felt like he had to do it.

All he wanted to do was comfort her.

"You're crazy."

Rosenia was just someone he wanted to recruit to Alter Company. Although he thought of marriage as a means, it was only a means and not a goal.

But now somehow... 

"Haha."

Yes, it definitely is. He took pains to give reasons for something for a moment.

He must have been possessed by his actions.

In order to get rid of the thoughts of Rosenia that were constantly circling in his head, he decided to force a march.

It was an act of insanity that covered the distance that would have taken 6 days to reach in 4 days.
