Chapter 36: fiancée [2]

Amy's expression, as she looked at me as if she found it ridiculous, was the typical reaction of a normal person.

But I know.

That soon, a storm will blow through this world.

And there are those who feel the signs.

Regina Ernbert is one of those people.

"What does that mean?" Regina said nonchalantly.

But I saw it.

The first slight commotion in her eyes, then it disappeared.

It definitely worked.

I let out a chuckle inside.

"That's why I think even a barracks-type country needs to start preparing now in order to survive. That's what it is."

"...."

She was silent for a moment at my answer, but her eyes were still staring straight at me as if she was trying to read my mind. I also looked into her eyes without avoiding them—those cold, yet beautiful blue eyes that seemed to suck you in.

I really can't understand this guy who has a fiancée like her and still frequents red-light districts. No, maybe it is something like that.

Since she was not a woman Max could do as he pleased, He might have gone even further and acted like a womanizer.

Whatever it is, it's still trash.

As I thought about it, I realized something new.

'Isn't this a hopeless relationship that's just over?'

When I think about it from her perspective as her fiancé, there's no one like me who's a piece of trash.

I'm a piece of trash that cannot be tolerated, not only from a social perspective but also no matter how you try to look at it in a positive light. In that sense, the only answer was to cleanly give up on my relationship with her.

But...

'The atmosphere is a bit strange for something like that.'

Although cold, her attitude was not that of someone in a completely broken relationship. It's strange, considering what I know about her personality.

That means...

"I have something to do, so I have to wake up first."

After chuckling at Amy, who was glaring at me like an angry cat, I spoke to Regina.

"Oh, you're laughing? Are you laughing?"

Amy growled. Even though she was a small and cute person, I didn't feel the slightest sense of threat. I ignored her and tried to turn my back and leave.

Then Regina said.

"Let's just watch."

"What are you talking about?"

"Are you qualified to say such things?"

"Ah."

It seemed like it was the first test of our relationship. I nodded leisurely.

"As much as you want."

"Ugh, that guy is so cocky. He's so cocky."

Amy grumbled, her anger still unabated.

One person she proudly listed as one of the people she hated the most was Max Seltrin.

How dare he, a troublemaker, take the position of the fiancé of the respected Chairwoman Regina?

This is why political marriages are a problem. There is only mutual benefit, no love or anything. She sincerely hoped and wished for a breakup.

Because he was a trash man who was completely unfit for the position of President Regina. Fortunately, that wish worked, as the relationship between the two seemed headed toward destruction.

"Can you be quiet for a moment?"

Amy quickly shut her mouth at Regina's words. Amy looked at Regina with a puzzled face.

Even though their relationship wasn't good, Amy was worried that she might have spoken too carelessly since they were still engaged.

"I'm sorry. Did I use a harsh word?"

Regina looked lost in thought without answering. Amy rolled her eyes, then quietly picked up the baguette again and took a big bite.

Because she knew it wouldn't be good to disturb her while she was lost in thought.
