Chapter 330: I'll Choose You (6)1.

“Sis.”

“What is it? If it’s nothing again, then, just shut up, Odette. You’re just making me mad.”

The twins were sitting on table 2, right next to table 1 where Siwoo was working.

Although the whole place was noisy, there was only a simple partition separating them from him, so they could hear the entire conversation that he was having from where they were at.

Because they heard that he was working as a ‘host’, they were curious about what exactly was it that his job was about, so they told him that they wanted to see him doing his job.

And what they were hearing was exactly the same as what Siwoo had told them before.

All he had been doing was to sweet-talk the witches and do things that pleased them.

“Grrrr...”

Odile knew that this was just part of the job.

And she knew that even though he was saying all those sweet words, those witches wouldn’t become his friends or anything.

But, it didn’t mean that she could accept it just like that.

“But Sis, I’m bored! Also, can you believe that Mr. Assistant can say all those words? It feels like he turned into a completely different person!”

On the contrary, Odette didn’t seem to mind it at all.

At first, just like Odile, she had her ears perked up to eavesdrop on all of his conversation, but now she stopped doing that. Instead, she leaned her back against the sofa while leisurely drinking her champagne.

Sometimes, she’d let out a giggle whenever cringe-worthy lines came out of Siwoo’s mouth. In any case, she was way more relaxed than her sister.

“Are you really okay with this? Mr. Assistant is flirting with another woman, you know?”

Odile furrowed her brows and scolded her sister.

To her, Odette was the only one she could rely on to fight against Sharon, who was already way ahead of them.

But, seeing her current attitude, Odile became unsure if she could trust her anymore.

How could she stay relaxed at times like this?!

“Sis, aren’t you taking this way too seriously?”

“What are you on about? Didn’t you hear the things he just said?”

Odile turned the intensity of the music box up before lowering the tone of her voice.

“‘A toast to Ms. Witch’s eyes, a toast to Ms. Witch eyes!’ What the hell was that? I’d rather pour the champagne into the witch’s eyes, hmph.”

Seeing her sister grumbling, Odette just laughed heartily.

“Sis, just think about it.”

“Think about what?”

“Have you ever heard Mr. Assistant say such things to us before?”

“What?”

With that, Odette finally let her sister know the reason behind her relaxed attitude.

“Right, I haven’t...”

After pondering for a while, Odile finally came to an answer.

He never spoke to them like that.

Besides, the reason why Odile was so surprised by this was because Siwoo had never done that in the first place.

“But, what does it matter? Isn’t the situation more urgent if that’s the case? Just think about it, he’s saying things that he had never said to us before to other witches!”

“Goodness, Sis! That just means he doesn’t say those words sincerely at all! They’re all just lip-service, nothing more!”

Hearing Odette’s answer made Odile blinked her eyes.

After she pondered a little more, she finally understood where her sister was coming from.

Even back when he was having a hot time with Sharon...

He never said such things; Things that made her stomach churn in disgust just by hearing them.

Besides, even though it was temporary, this was still a ‘job’ for him.

“It’s a job and this is his workplace! Like, how chefs work in the kitchen or actors acting in a movie!”

“Is that how it is, though?”

“Of course it is! It’s called being a professional, Sis! That witch sitting over there paid him money for him to say those words!”

“Are you trying to say... He’s being sincere when he’s with us, but not when he’s with those witches...?”

“Exactly! We can also take it as we got something that even money can’t buy from him!”

Odette crossed her arms as she let out a snort filled with pride.

Meanwhile, Odile could only see her sister in amazement.

After she gave her words a good thought, she found out that she was completely right.

In other words, instead of feeling jealous over nothing, she shoulda just shrug her shoulders and let it go.

“That’s why, don’t worry about it too much and listen to his words instead. Some of them are really funny, you know?”

“Fine. I guess you’re right this time.”

And so, she decided to do what Odette did, to stay put and listen...

That was when she realized how hard this job was for Siwoo.

Since he had to say things he didn’t mean, all to please those prickly and picky witches.

It gave her the urge to jump into the next table and strangle those witches.

“...For Mr. Assistant to do such a difficult job. Making money isn’t easy, huh?”

“True. He had to say things that he didn’t mean...”

The twins’ gaze fell onto the table.

On there was a leather pouch that they used as a makeshift wallet.

Inside the pouch was a bunch of gold coins that they brought to buy their Mr. Assistant’s time.

“Hmm...”

That was why the area around the hideout was extremely quiet.

Still, such a quiet atmosphere of the town wasn’t something unfamiliar to Siwoo.

If anything, it made him feel nostalgic.

It brought him back to the time when he indulged himself in alcohol after the whole scuffle with Amelia and Odile brought him for a night walk.

Also, it was because he fell for the twins’ trap that his deep relationship with the twins began. It could be said that this place was filled with his memories with the twins.

He arrived at the five-story hideout that clearly stood out compared to the shabby buildings surrounding it.

Of course, compared to the Gemini Mansion, the building was nothing.

-Knock, knock!

“Are you two sleeping already?”

The fact that the twins invited him to go all the way here meant that they snuck out of the mansion again.

Hopefully I’m not late...

Well, if they already went to sleep, I’ll bring them back to the mansion.

When he reached the door to knock on it again...

It was slowly opened from inside.

“So I wasn’t late— Huh?”

The place didn’t seem different from what he remembered.

Candlesticks, decorated with gold leaves, each holding candles with swaying fire on it.

The light from the flames was reflected on the marble floor below; If one were to wear a skirt without underwear, it would definitely be reflected off there.

So far, those were familiar things to him, but there was one thing that wasn’t so.

“Welcome back, Mr. Assistant— No! Master!”

“Welcome back, Master!”

And that thing was the twins, standing on both sides of the entrance, politely bowing their heads.

Well, if it was only up to that point, it wasn’t really anything strange, but...

Considering that this place was their hideout...

The fact that they were wearing maid outfits was nothing short of strange.

And there was also the way they referred to him.

Instead of the usual half-bonnet, they were wearing maid headbands.

On top of their frilly skirts, they were wearing cute-looking aprons.

The outfit wasn’t the lewd ones that people normally used to stimulate other people’s sexual desire, but the ones that were practical and suited for actual housework.

Yet, even though they were clearly wearing what one might call a servant’s outfit, their atmosphere was still filled with dignity, probably because of their upbringing as noble ladies.

“What is this?”

“Well, since you must have had a hard time serving those witches earlier today, Mr. Assistant, we figured that we should be serving you to help you relax! You can say your thanks to us now!”

“Sis, it’s ‘Master’.”

“Oh, right. Master!”

Odile answered him with a shy smile, her tone made it sound like it was obvious.

Meanwhile, Odette casually corrected the mistake in her answer.

“Anyway, you worked hard today, Master.”

Siwoo was dumbstruck, standing still in front of them, but a soft smile appeared on his face.

He found the twins cute for wearing clothes that were clearly not their size.

“W-What? Why are you smiling like that?”

“Is there something strange? Did we make a mistake?”

The sight warmed his heart.

All the fatigue that he felt from working all day long disappeared.

And he felt thankful for them.

He never thought that it would give him such joy to have someone cared for him like this.

It made tears almost come out of his eyes.

“Nothing, I’m just tired, but everything is well. Also, those outfits suit you two.”

“Huh?”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Siwoo then hugged the twins tightly and even showed them the alcohol he brought them as gifts.

“I got some good alcohol for tonight. Thank you for waiting for me.”

“Heh, I knew that you’ll love it Mr. Assistant! Pecha said that men would dream of seeing women in maid outfits!”

“Sis, it’s Master.”

“Ah, right, Master!”

Though it was clear that she was a little shy about all this, Odile still had her nose hung up high since she managed to get the desired reaction out of Siwoo.

Siwoo felt that she had grown a little taller, but then realized that it was because she was tiptoeing and she didn’t realize that.

“Anyway! You should relax for now and enjoy the snacks we’ve brought for you!”

“Yes! Let’s come in and get them! We’ve prepared a bunch of snacks for you!”

“Of course, snacks aren’t the only things we prepared!”

They got something else for me?

At this point, Siwoo had already forgotten about his fatigue. Accompanied by the twins, he entered the hideout.
