TVTLQ - Chapter 140
The Villainess Wants To Live Quietly
The head maid with a strict look shouted.
In front of her, the kitchen maids were all bowing their heads.
"How dare you think of betting on the Master! You even risk money!"
"S-sorry."
"There are so many people, but there wasn't a single one in their right mind? If this incident reached the owner and guests' ears....."
The head maid trembled as if just imagining it was terrifying.
"If you dare to bet, you will all receive a one-month pay cut. And from today, you will work in the laundry room rather than the kitchen. This is a punishment for violating the dignity of a servant of the Duke's family. If the same thing happens, know that we will kick you out without a letter of recommendation."
It was fortunate that she wasn't kicked out right now. The maids withdrew, thankful that the punishment given was light.
The maid who kicked them out asked the head butler.
"Will the Lady you stay long?"
"Dominic said that a large amount of documents were brought into the parlor."
"Then it will take a long time. They might get hungry while they're running errands, so I'll continue to provide them with refreshments. And since she might be leaving after eating, prepare a meal as well. Now, let's hurry."
The workers began to move in unison to the sound of applause.
The conversation between the two seemed like it would end quickly, but it lasted surprisingly long.
Only after five hours had passed did the door to the living room open.
The head maid and butler who were waiting were startled.
Calix was escorting Rosenia...
And very sweetly.
It was surprising that the two people were not in a good mood until they entered the living room.
"Then I'll just head back."
Rosenia said calmly as she got into the carriage.
At that time, Calix gently held Rosenia's hand.
Rosenia flinched but did not shake off the opponent's hand.
Calix kissed the back of her hand briefly smiled softly and whispered.
"Take care and see you tomorrow."
"Yes, Duke."
The corner of her mouth twitched, but she got into the carriage so quickly that no one except Calix noticed it.
As Rosenia left, Calix entered the mansion, unable to hide his laughter.
Those who could not bear to ask him about the situation urgently caught Dominic.
"Dominic, what on earth happened?"
"Hmmm."
Dominic rolled his eyes in embarrassment.
"You will find out tomorrow anyway. Just wait and see."
And from the very next day, the atmosphere in the Duke's house changed drastically.
***
I was walking by the lakeside.
A pretty sky full of stars, and colorful lotus lanterns gently swaying beneath it.
The sight that came into view was a familiar place to me.
The lake in Turin where the festival was held.
This is the place I visited with Dominic.
'It's a dream.'
Because I sometimes dreamed of that day, I immediately realized that this world was a lie.
Perhaps because I realized I was dreaming, the foggy, hazy scenery became a little clearer.
The merchant who sold the lanterns to Dominic and I was busy organizing the lanterns.
Similar to us, people who came to release lotus lanterns were seen putting their hands together and making a wish.
The whole scene was as vivid as if it had happened just yesterday.
"It was a perfect time."
I was running frantically as if someone was chasing me from behind, and it was finally time to start looking at my surroundings.
After being possessed, it was also the time when I realized who I wanted to spend my life with from now on.
There was a little bit of anxiety, but it was still good.
I think there was a thought that everything would somehow work out well in the future.
Unfounded optimistic beliefs are a privilege that can only be enjoyed when you are blinded by love.
"Why didn't you tell me you were married?"
Right next to me, I heard the rustling sound of someone stepping on slightly frozen leaves.
I didn't stop walking along the lakeshore.
"Why have you never told me about your son?"
I could have boasted that he had such a cute son by showing him a small portrait.
If I joked that I should be paid more because I have a child to feed, I would have joked and asked if I looked like an evil business owner who made me not do my best work.
Maybe I would often buy him gifts and give him gifts as if I were his Aunt.
"If you had given me even just one small hint, I wouldn't have started."
Whenever I was with him. I used. to feel a little excitement in comfort.
My heart was racing and I started laughing even without doing anything in particular.
As if the hour and minute hands were reversed, time only passed quickly when I was with him.
So much so that whenever I break up with him and I am alone, I just keep checking my watch.
"Dominic was too much for me."
I poured out words I couldn't say in real life, using the excuse that it was a dream.
I felt like if I poured out my inner thoughts over and over again, the feelings that remained in me would fade.
"You should have drawn a line when I approached you. There is a saying that it is like building an iron wall. Or better yet, tell me the situation from the beginning. Penelope told me that I would never be a man with children, but if the person I was dealing with was Dominic, he would have thought twice about thinking once, and three times about thinking twice."
Anyway, people are good. A child who resembles him would definitely be cute and kind.
They may have thought that way and prepared to become a family.
On the other hand, I could have made up my mind and returned to a normal employer-employee relationship.
"Yes? Why did you do that? Answer me, Dominic."
The end of this dream is always the same.
Mr. Dominic tells me he's sorry.
He confesses that he didn't dare to act honestly and whispers that he still loves me.
Then, like a fool, I fall into his arms.
Actually, what I really wanted to hear was his words saying that he loved me more than an apology.
I stopped walking.
Red and blue lanterns shimmered in the distance.
I will soon be able to hear Dominic's voice.
But what I actually heard was from someone completely different.
"That's strange."
I quickly turned my head.
"Why are you saying that to me?"
And at that moment, I woke up from my dream.
"Ugh, huh."
I jumped up like a spring and took a deep breath.
My whole body was exhausted, like someone who had run at a full sprint.
The thin pajamas I wore in the summer were already damp with cold sweat.
The maid who came in to close the window curtains in my room came up to me in surprise.
"Miss, are you okay?"
“Ha.”
I swept my face with my palm.
I gently closed my eyelids and calmed my racing heart.
"I had a nightmare."
"Oh my God, your voice has completely gone out. Here, have a glass of water."
I drank all the water she handed me.
Only after drinking cool water did my sense of reality return.
I thought to myself as I put the glass of water down on the tray the maid was holding.
"For no reason is it ominous in th le morning...."
In the dream, the person who appeared instead of Dominic was Calix.
An arrogant and greedy man who would look perfect with pointed horns on top of his head.
And he is also the man I ended up serving as my contract lover for the time being.
"Ahhh."
I groaned and grabbed my hair. Suddenly, a belated agony came to me.
Did I do something for nothing?
If you're talking about a character from the original, it's best to avoid it first.
'But it was too much money to refuse.'
The Erendis Hotel business license was a very desirable bait, like a plump fish.
I also wanted to make an example of Calix, who was ignoring me, saying that even if I handed over the business rights, I could get them back right away.
Moreover, it seemed that if I could access Calix's daily life, I would be able to create an opportunity to get closer to the internal affairs of Alter Company.
What business they are focusing on and what do they plan to do in the future.
