Chapter 149

unedited

‘Poor bastard. I’ll buy you a drink later.’

Robbie’s expression of mourning Rai was complicated. If it had been before, He would have complained to Rai why he couldn’t get a single heart from that woman, but he didn’t feel that way.

Robbie turned to see Annie’s face after shaking hands. Unlike when she faced Rai, she had an expression of embarrassment and regret.

At that moment, a new feeling came to him.

‘…She’s quite sensible.’

No, it could be seen as a kind of consideration. It was also an effort not to show her discomfort to her opponent.

‘…I don’t think you’re wasting your age.’

Even Robbie himself is often unable to do that, but Annie was more mature in that respect. Robbie was a bit disappointed.

After that, Annie went back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs like a clockwork doll and worked hard. The paperwork piled up on her desk made her face invisible.

Robbie clicked his tongue out saying that she was a girl who didn’t even blink her eyes in the midst of an uproar. Still, he stared at her seriously.

‘.. Concentration is pretty good too.’

She reads some documents with a force that seems to pierce her eyes, and the people who see it are frightened. As evidence of that, the seniors passing by seemed to sneak their steps.

A peaceful sunlight shatters over her head. Just as Robbie blinked his sleepy eyes a bit, Annie got up.

The clock on the wall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now indicated ten minutes before work ended.

‘…It’s not even time for work to end yet, so where are you going?’

Annie didn’t take her luggage or tidy up. Even the other co-workers didn’t even pay attention to her as it was her usual business.

‘What, what, what? What’s going on here?’

Robbie followed after her, his imagination clouded. His hurried steps soon stopped.

Annie entered a small building that was near the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is a one-story building, so you can see the inside very well from the outside.

He hid in a pillar around, sticking his head out again. With the subtle scent of coffee, he could guess Annie’s purpose.

‘Why do you drink coffee right before work end?’

There was nobody in it. It seems that she didn’t go far away from work.

Annie sighed as she looked at her watch with a sad expression on her face, and she quickly left the building. Robbie had not yet fully grasped Annie’s intentions.

But then, she heard a murmur from somewhere.

“Hey, can you only do this? Really you?”

“I’m sorry. Senior.”

Maybe he wasn’t the only one who heard the sound, and Annie turned towards it.

Robbie also moved cautiously and followed after her.

“Do it again.”

A man with arms crossed behind the building arrogantly poked his chin.

‘That guy….’

It was someone Robbie knew. He was the most famous coffee craftsman in this imperial palace.

Years ago, he used to be mad at himself for all kinds of compliments just for a cup of coffee. What was he doing now that it didn’t fit in?

However, unlike back then, the person’s voice and expression were harsh. He could even believe it was someone else.

“Are your hands a decoration? Is this something to say sorry? Who are you going to treat with this kind of skill?”

“I’m sorry, senior. If, if you could tell me what I did wrong…”

“The problem is that you don’t know that. You’ll figure it out, do it again.”

‘Wow, this bastard is really trash.’

It was like his own military commander who bullied him by accusing him for no reason.

Robbie, who remembered that time, put his thoughts together in his head as he clenched his teeth.

‘I need to change him too.’

There were not one or two people who he had to change in the imperial palace. Isn’t personality more important than skill?

While he was thinking, Annie approached them.

The sound of shoes echoed on the hard dirt floor. Annie smiled brightly as they turned her head in surprise.

“Hello. I came to ask for a cup of coffee, but you’re away.”

“I’m sorry, Lady. I’ll treat you right away.”

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I came so close to closing time.”

“Hahaha. Don’t say that. This guy is still slow and lacks skill, so I’ll make it for you.”

‘Wow, are you giving a face slap in front of her? Isn’t that crazy?”

Even in the era when human rights were not yet properly formed, this was serious. Unwittingly, empathetic Robbie cursed his brother inwardly.

How can he say he is not bothered with this kind of setup. He has to come and experience it for himself.

“Then would you like to come over here? I’ll treat you inside.”

“No. I’ll wait here.”

‘…Why is that woman doing that again?’

Robbie felt a strange chill on Annie’s smiling face.

He was able to feel that because he had lived a long time.

Moments later, when the coffee master arrived, Robbie could understand why.
