33 – Between Misunderstanding and Truth

The next morning, Jeniel woke up and walked slowly. After he goes downstairs, he heads into the living room and sees Cheryl making coffee.

Seryl, who was humming her hum and pouring her coffee, was wearing a black trim skirt over her pure white blouse. With a black ribbon hanging around her neck, I think she is naturally cute.

“Where is the sugar cube…… Ah!”

Sheryl, muttering not knowing that her brother had arrived, found a glass jar of sugar cubes on the top shelf of her shelf.

Seryl raised her tiptoe and stretched out her hand to get it out. But she doesn’t reach Again she stretched out with all her might, only barely touching the tips of her fingers, but she couldn’t get them out.

“Stop it…… !”

All I can do is laugh because I’m having so much trouble just taking out a lump of sugar. Jenny Earl, smiling at her secretly, walked behind Cheryl and lightly took out a glass jar of her sugar cubes.

“…… Ah?”

As the thick-lined man’s hand took out the sugar cube, Seryl, who had been blank for a moment, quickly grasped the situation and looked back at her. There, as she expected, was her own brother, Jennie Earl.

“Oh, why are you here!?”

A blush is added to the startled face. Jeniel, wondering if he was surprised at all, handed over a glass bottle of sugar cubes and said,

“Is it really surprising that I’m in the mansion’s living room? It’s as if you’ve found a thief.”

A thief is right. Underwear thief. Seryl, who was looking at Jeniel disapprovingly, sighed and accepted the sugar cube Jenial handed her.

“Would you please stop treating me like this? I still don’t know what you did with my underwear? To be honest, it’s unpleasant.”

Opening the lid of the jar, Seryl lifts tongs and takes out two sugar cubes, placing them in a cup of coffee. Afterwards, Seryl, who puts down the tongs and stirs the coffee with a spoon, raises the cup and hands it to Jeniel.

“Now, drink.”

Jeniel pointed to the cup because he was puzzled by that.

“Isn’t this what you rode for drinking?”

“That’s true, but oppa also came down to drink coffee anyway. It’s not hard to brew coffee again…… Oh, that’s okay, so hurry up and have a drink! Arm hurts!”

As Seryl urged, Jenial accepted the cup.

“Thank you, Cheryl.”

“If you’re thankful, don’t do weird things.”

Seryl, grumbling, picks up a new cup and pours coffee. Seryl, who was watching the warm coffee pour into the cup, looked back at Jeniel with a sudden question.

“By the way, how are things going with your girlfriend?”

“…… Are you my girlfriend?”

It’s embarrassing to ask for a girlfriend who doesn’t even exist. Seeing Jeniel’s expression of incomprehensibility, Seryl said coldly.

“You told me before. What is it, it was a painful past, but did she say that she and I were just immature?”

I was wondering what you were talking about. Jenial laughed lightly and gently wrapped her cup around her. You can feel the warm warmth in your hands.

“I can’t see you anymore even though I want to see you, so I can’t answer much even if you ask me.”

“…… Are you divorced?”

“Okay. Should I call this a farewell? To be precise, the girl I knew disappeared, not dead.”

I don’t understand what you’re talking about. But Jenny Earle’s melancholy eyes made Cheryl know that her brother had a special regard for her.

“What kind of woman was she?”

As I carefully asked, Jenial looked up into the distance. After thinking for a moment, Jeniel smiled bitterly.

“She was stubborn and angry. For she had threatened her not to leave her side for a moment, or forced her to kiss her own feet. However, all of that may have been a defense mechanism to hide her tender heart. She was a woman who shed a lot of tears even now.”

The faint voice makes Cheryl shrink. Did she ask something for nothing? Her fidgety Cheryl cleared her throat.

“I heard that she wasn’t even a very nice woman. Don’t worry, her brother will definitely meet a better woman. Got it?”

The words of consolation are kind again. She wondered if she was the same person who had just said, “Your brother is unpleasant.” Jenny Earle smiled lowly and nodded her head, and Seryl looked relieved.

“I’m glad you look okay.”

She is fortunate, but as she listens to the story, her free cup of coffee is gone. Seryl took one glance at her wall clock and moved on.

“Then I have to go to work, so I’ll go. I give my coffee to my assistant. She has been working in her office for the past few days, but she tells her to take a break.”

“Yes. But I’m sorry about something. For wasting time with pointless words.”

Seryl, who was about to leave her living room, looked behind her once.

“Isn’t it a waste of time? Don’t be judgmental. Because it is unpleasant.”

I’ve done all the worries about worrying, but what’s unpleasant about it now? As Jenny Earle watched her intently, she slipped out of her living room as Cheryl stuck out her tongue.

Thanks to that, Jenny Earl, who was left alone, took a sip of her coffee and grabbed the coffee that Seryl had ground. As Cheryl said, she was going to offer a cup of her coffee to Radne, who was struggling in her office.

‘I’ve only been working for the past few days… ….’

It was also true that she was a bit sorry for not paying attention to Radne, as she was concentrating on preparing for the preliminary hearing.

I don’t know if a cup of coffee will be a source of encouragement to Ladne, but it’s better than nothing.

When I open the door of the office and go inside, I see Radne sitting in front of the desk. After examining the last paperwork, Radne put it aside and looked at Jeniel, who had entered the office with a rather bewildered expression.

“…… What?”

“Coffee.”

After saying that, Jeniel approaches Ladne and puts a cup of coffee on the desk. Ladne stared blankly at the steaming coffee, then looked up at Jenial again.

“What do you mean? Do you want to work more?”

Somehow, the day is standing still. It was like a snarling cat, ready to pounce the moment I told her to do more.

“You don’t have to work. Have a good rest today.”

I don’t understand why you’re patronizing me now. Radne, one eyebrow furrowed, stood up from her desk and looked at Jenial.

“I will continue to rest, not today.”

Radne said boldly and took out a paper bag from her bosom. On the front of the envelope, written in large letters was a letter of resignation. Seeing him scrawled, he seemed very resentful.

“I did my best. So, stop now.”

“Quit…… Let it be.”

Is it so easy to give permission? As Radne made a deliberately surprised face, Jenny Earle smiled and added her words.

“I’ll have your secret posted to the university instead.”

The expected sea.

“If you can, do it. Instead, I won’t stand still. I’ll let everyone know that you hired me for the mansion even though you knew I was a demon.”

This is the so-called Mutually Assured Destruction. Compared to Jenial’s weakness, Ladne’s weakness was insignificant, but a weakness is a weakness.

The famous Malaig family wouldn’t want to buy it and suffer damage. It was a trump card aimed at, but Jenial was still maintaining a smirk.

“I don’t know what you are talking about. The secret I am going to post is that you were incontinent during the practice class with Her Highness the Princess.”

Radne’s eyes widen. Radne, who wondered what crazy she was talking about, glanced around her and said with obvious bewilderment.

“Are you crazy?”

“I didn’t go crazy. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. By the authority of the Malaig family, we will inform the entire university that you have been incontinent, so let them know that.”

I was so dumbfounded that I was at a loss for words. However, there was no point in reversing that remark. Radne opened and closed her mouth and glared at Jenny Earle, her tears welling up.

“You…… I will kill you someday.”

“That time isn’t now, so I’ll take the resignation letter.”

Radne, biting her lower lip in shame, glared at Jennie Earl, but picked up the letter of resignation she had offered and put it back into her arms.

Radne, who did not want to see Jenny Earl, kicked off her seat in a fit of anger and left her office. She was really spoiled, but thinking of the hardships she had had so far, she decided to take care of it for once.

Meanwhile, Irea arrived at Malaig Mansion, leading her Ruinel and her attendants. It would be normal for her to tell Jenny Earl in advance, but she kept it a secret this time.

She’s playful enough to surprise Jenny Earl with a surprise visit. So, Irea ordered her maids and Ruinel to wait outside her, and she went into her mansion alone.

The servants working inside Malaig Mansion bowed deeply in response to the sudden visit of the princess. It was embarrassing that the princess had visited her mansion twice.

However, the real culprit, the princess, did not pay attention to such things. She only moved her steps busily, wanting to see Jennie Earl quickly.

‘… ….’

However, when she ran into Radne from her office in her hallway, her excited heart calmed down coldly.

To Irea, Radne was like a rival. Wasn’t she a cunning fox trying to seduce Jennie Earl and get something out of her?

She is Irea, who knows her insidious intentions, and she is Radne. So Ireah stopped her steps and waited for Radne to come. Her

Thanks to her, Radne paused as she moved her steps to go to her own room in her mansion. Because on the other side of her hallway, she found Irea staring at her.

“It’s been a while. If it’s okay, can we talk?”

Irea comes first to hand over her greetings. She had a lithe voice, but she seemed to have an edge somewhere.

Why did Irea come here? She wondered, but she didn’t think too hard. The reason was clear when she showed that she liked Jenny Earl.

“What a story.”

I’m tired, so I want to just deal with it and move on. As I spat out her words with such thoughts, Irea opened her mouth with a hesitance.

“Hey, you know what Radne said to me before. She said she didn’t like the professor as a member of the opposite s*x. Is that still valid?”

“Ha?”

Could it be that Irea thinks that she likes Jennie Earl and lives in her mansion? She’s so dumbfounded that it doesn’t even feel worth answering.

“Eh, if you still don’t have much feelings for the professor…… I hope you continue to stop liking the professor. Because I think it will help each other in many ways.”

Trying to listen to Ireah makes her head tingle from her annoyance. Her misunderstanding was also Yoo-bun Su-ji, and she was getting angry with herself because she was intertwining herself with her unscrupulous Jennie Earl.

“What are we going to do? And what does it have to do with you whether I like the professor or not?”

So she gave a rough answer. She then smiles awkwardly at Irea. Radne, who glared at her Irea once, moved her steps where she had stopped.

Since she is tired, she really intended to go to her room and sleep. It was the moment when I passed Irea.

“Stand there.”

A sharp, forged voice makes her stop. Surprised Radne looked back at her, and Irea also turned her body. From her met gaze, Irea was still smiling.

“Ahahahaha, sorry. Did I make things a bit difficult? I just told you not to like the professor, it wasn’t a request…….”

In an instant, the smile disappears from Irea’s face. Ireah, who turned into her serious expression, fiercely looked down at Radne like a king somewhere in her place.

“It’s an order, Radne.”
