TVTLQ - Chapter 90

The Villainess Wants To Live Quietly

Rosenia's voice trembled a little.

It was as if she was telling him that even though she always seemed confident, not everything was easy.

Calix wanted to hug her right now, but he barely held back. For now, he must reject Rosenia's confession.

And furthermore, the contract.

But Calix wanted to ask.

"Why do you like me, Vice President?"

Rosenia's face turned red at the unexpected question. She repeatedly rubbed her cheek with the back of her hand.

"If you suddenly ask me that..."

"I may not be as good a person as you think."

Actually, he's a very mean person. Even now, he has to deceive her.

Looking back, he was cheating on her the whole time.

Didn't Calix approach her from the beginning with the intention of finding out her true intentions?

Rosenia, who suddenly became a mainstay of Pierre's upper-class, was interesting and suspicious.

"I don't know what value you are looking for in me."

Calix lowered his head, feeling a little depressed.

Then he heard a slightly angry voice above his head.

"Are you sure you don't know?"

Calix raised his head.

Rosenia was looking at him with a very serious expression.

"Why do I like Dominic? What value did I find in Dominic?"

Rosenia held Calix's hand.

Calix flinched and tried to pull his hand away, but she wouldn't let go of his hand.

"Do people need a reason to like someone else? But if you really want to hear the reason, I can tell you as much as you want."

"No, I...".   

"Dominic is sweet and kind."

Calix looked at Rosenia. The red eyes containing his image contained an inescapable power. 

"You are polite and well-respected, so much so that if you ask people at the top, everyone will praise you. When we have a conversation, you are confident in your knowledge and have insight into the essence of the problem. For me, I lose track of time when I talk to Dominic. It's that much fun."

"..."

"Except because I think you've probably gotten sick of people saying you're handsome and have a nice voice."

"Not that much."

"Haha, really?"

Rosenia smiled lightly and gave strength to her joined hands.

"More than anything, Dominic is the person who helped me put down roots here."

"Root...?"

"So I guess I can't do without Dominic anymore."

She raised the corners of her mouth softly.

It was a friendly smile that melted people's hearts. 

"Dominic Willock, will you date with me?"

Calix pursed his lips. This was already her second confession.

Calix is really happy that her heart never breaks. His heart is pounding so hard that it almost explodes.

But he couldn't repay those feelings. He should politely decline, sort everything out, and start fresh.

That was what Calix had to do today.

"I am...."

It was the moment when Calix, who had chosen his words carefully, finally opened his mouth.

"But that's probably just my opinion."

Calix's eyes widened at the sudden self-mocking remark.

"I thought about it carefully. I think my confession may be very embarrassing and burdensome to Dominic. Maybe you are in a bad mood..."

"If you say I felt bad, I definitely didn't."

"Thank you for saying that. But it's still true that I forced my own feelings on Dominic in a situation where I didn't know what you were thinking. So I was thinking about it..."

Rosenia took a pause and opened her mouth as if she had made up her mind.

"Can you give me just three days?"

"Yes...?"

"It's none other than the Rosenia trial version! Try it for three days and then decide!" 

Rosenia smiled brightly and shouted.

But Calix could tell from her trembling hands that that cheerfulness was a facade she had worked hard to fake.

After pouring everything out, she was nervous and trembling.

But she didn't look fragile.

It wasn't lame either.

Rather, she felt more confident and beautiful than anyone else.

Calix's uvula moved up and down greatly.

Three days.

Wouldn't it be okay if it was just three days?

Since Dominic and Calix couldn't reveal that they were the same person, Calix had to start all over again.

Getting her attention and getting her likes.

Until now, Rosenia has always been shown to be wary of Calix Altemir. So, as Calix, he didn't know how long it would take to reach her.

If it was a sweet dream that lasted only three days, wouldn't Rexed understand him?

Above all, he did not want to ignore Rosenia, who approached him so passionately, any longer.

He clearly knew that he shouldn't do that. If it were him, he would never have made this decision.

But Rosenia's loveliness blinded Calix.

"Great."

"Yes? Really?!"

"Yes. I look forward to... Miss Rosenia."

That's how their short-contract romance began.

***

Late at night, the room where Marquis Pierre, the head of the family.

The room he was staying, in was brightly lit. As he sat in front of his desk, his forehead was furrowed.

"Whoa." 

The look in his eyes as he looked down at the documents was extremely disturbing. The Marquis pressed his fingers between his eyebrows and sighed.

"I can't believe sales have increased this much."

What he was looking at was Pierre's monthly report.

In the hot August, a report was drawn showing a graph of sales that had risen sharply since Pierre's Vice President management changed.

In fact, he has not been deeply involved in the management of the top company for the past year. The reason was because of Nathaniel.

From the moment he placed Nathaniel in the position of deputy leader, he had been thinking of handing over everything to his son.

Therefore, he thought his son should experience it for himself. Whether it is growth at the top or decline.

Everyone grows through trial and error.

"No matter what, this is......."

Sales, which had been at a low ever since Nathaniel took over as vice president, have risen sharply in recent months.

The figure was showing a higher record than when the Marquis himself led the upper division.

'I guess the things Nathaniel had prepared showed results belatedly.'

However, the Marquis's expectations were dashed by the fact that all the places where sales increased were those that Rosenia started or worked on.

The Marquis had great faith in his son. Although he was still immature and often had accidents, Ilhe thought he was a proud son who would one day enhance the reputation of Marquis Pierre.

On the other hand, Rosenia had no expectations.

Since she is a pretty daughter, he should get her married to a good place in the future and strengthen his relationship with his in-laws.

That was the perception.

Therefore, when Rosenia said she wanted to work at the top, he thought it was a request born out of jealousy.

When the order to stop development was issued to Dostic, the Marquis thought that something had finally come.

He thought that if she had experienced that much, she would cry and make a fuss, saying she couldn't do it anymore.

As if the crisis had turned into a blessing in disguise, the Crown Prince personally sent someone to hold a groundbreaking ceremony.

"Has an event like that ever happened in Pierre in the past?"

No, there wasn't. Not once.

Only now, when Rosenia is involved in the operation, does such a special thing happen.

'I told you yesterday, but father was mistaken. And I'm not going to see the Magic Tower Lord right now.'

"Unfortunately, I'm not on my way to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I have to meet someone more important than that."

Moreover, Rosenia's words suddenly come to mind.

Who is more important than the magic tower lord, who is called a genius, or the Crown Prince, the next powerful person in the Empire?

No way, Your Majesty......?

The Marquis suddenly felt uneasy

"What if Nathaniel never returns to his place?"

He planned to pass on both the upper house and the family to his son, Nathaniel.

Regardless of the abilities shown individually, it was natural for the Marquis.

The reason Nathaniel was sent to the estate was because he wanted his son to be safe from anger for a while, and was not done to drive him out.

But these days, he feels worried for no reason. It doesn't seem like Rosenia values Nathaniel very much.

The employees at the top seem to think that it is natural for Rosenia to take Nathaniel's place.

"Whew, I wonder if he'll be okay."

His worries grew deeper.
