Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief chapter 141

141 – Employee Training

Before I could react, Julia tilted her head and asked.

“Ask the thief for a favor. What does that mean?”

“It’s literally. Since you are responsible for losing your job, you can ask for it.”

Rachel let out her snort at Sharon’s rather odd answer.

“Ha, I said something. Do you give that petty thief a job just because he has some skills?”

“It’s okay to make a job. Like a phantom thief’s assistant.”

“Do you mean to be a criminal to my sister now?”

“That’s just what they say.”

Sharon is exceptionally good at telling jokes today. She felt something very suspicious because a kid who wasn’t usually like that suddenly changed so drastically.

In the meantime, after hearing Sharon’s story, Yulia is deeply troubled.

“Phantom thief assistant…”

Could it be that she doesn’t think it’s bad now?

If you get to that point, she will become a real criminal, as Rachel said, and not just a follower of the phantom thief.

Anyway, coming back to the main topic, Sharon’s sudden behavior was very suspicious.

It would be nice if it was simply because Rachel and Yulia got comfortable and started talking, but if that wasn’t the case, there was some ulterior motive.

Isn’t that probably because I deliberately secretly threw ground food to find evidence that I’m Raven the Phantom Thief?

Of course, it could be my own delusion. But for some reason, I had a strong feeling that this might be the case.

Right now, we are engaged in a fierce battle of brains and psychological warfare.

To uncover each other’s identities. Even at the risk of his identity being discovered.

To be honest, this was a one-sided fight against me. Even if I find out that she is her Sherlock, it doesn’t change much, but on the contrary, the moment her opponent finds out that I am the thief, she could be arrested right away.

Of course, if I thought about it calculatedly, it was right for me to save myself.

But isn’t that too romantic? Originally, in the rivalry between a detective and a phantom thief, the phantom thief, who escapes leisurely even when a crisis comes, is the romance itself. After all, a certain amount of thrill is like an addictive spice.

I glanced at Sharon’s expression. At first glance, he has a blunt, expressionless expression that is no different from usual.

It was such a perfect poker face that it was impossible to read what he was thinking.

First of all, we shouldn’t show off too openly here.

What I wanted wasn’t to tell her outright, ‘I’m a thief!’

A fight that continues so tightly that it makes your hands sweat. In the end, the final winner had to be me.

That’s why I didn’t make a hasty move right away.

I could feel Sharon glancing at me, but when I didn’t do anything else, her eyes quickly left.

Don’t be too impatient. After all, your head will hurt quite a bit by tomorrow.

Did I ask the phantom thief for a favor?

Just hearing that, a good idea came to my mind.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to solve the Lappano problem and get Rachel’s older sister a job.

It’s also because there was a shortage of workers at the time.

***

After finishing my academy class, I went straight to the office right across the street from my house.

Today is Monday.

Yes. It was the first day Juliet, the talent we scouted last weekend, went to work.

Still, I am the CEO of the foundation, so shouldn’t I come first and keep my position?

Even though it’s only the two of us right now, even if it’s an employee.

Since this place was also urgently obtained, it felt too small to be used as an office. Later, when the scale grows, I will have to move to a much better office.

Money isn’t a problem anyway, so you just need to find someone. It won’t be easy, though.

It would have been better if it was the modern age of the 21st century. In a world where youth job problems are serious due to unemployment, wouldn’t there be an overflow of applicants if we just had a high salary, compliance with employee welfare, and a clear vision?

On the other hand, Britannia in the 19th century was different. Since the concept of a non-profit foundation is unfamiliar to us in the first place, many people doubt that it is a scam even if we introduce ourselves.

Of course, there would be many people who would apply if they gave a lot of money, but among them, the elite with the specs that would be really helpful were no different from picking stars from the sky.

“Hello. Director.”

“Oh, you came early.”

In the midst of deep thought, the office door opened and Juliet, dressed in neat clothes, appeared with her head bowed.

I made her feel comfortable in her short language, as she told me the other day.

“Welcome. Then I’ll tell you right away about the job you’re going to be in charge of.”

“Yes. All right.”

She had only one job for her right now.

“The business is confirmed.”

“Well, we’re not a for-profit organization, so we’re actually a charity.”

First of all, I plan to be in charge of external activities as I have been doing so far. What Juliet cares about is internal management.

As the face of the Lupine Foundation, I am in charge of deciding who to sponsor and meeting partners.

In the meantime, I plan to raise Juliet as a secretary who oversees personnel appointments and accounting.

“…Is it okay if you entrust such an important task to me?”

“I can’t do it alone anyway. That’s why they hired you. Of course, if I don’t meet my standards, I can fire you.”

“Yes. I will do my best.”

I think I might do well. I don’t know exactly, but I have the ability to make a lot of money in just a few months. If I have to worry, it’s that she’s so competent that she won’t stab me in the back of the head.

But it also has its own countermeasures.

That I am supporting the orphanage where Juliet grew up.

Seeing that she tried to donate her hard-earned money, her affection for her orphanage seemed special. So, even if she quits saying she can’t do it, there is little chance that she will harbor bad feelings.

I didn’t tell her much. Because I was close to an outsider on this side.

The activities she has been doing so far have actually been close to a fistfight. So, the summary of her story she told her was that her money is free to spend, so she should scale it up as much as possible.

Juliet did not express any displeasure and nodded her head in her meekness. Somehow this makes her feel like a rogue employer.

No. But do I give you a lot of money? At least he won’t be fired for nitpicking like Lappano did.

She may not be a good leader, but she doesn’t have to blame herself for being a vicious employer.

“Okay. Do you have any more questions?”

“No. Doesn’t exist.”

“As I said earlier, do whatever you feel comfortable with. Use this to get the money you need for your work. All you have to do is write a brief report of your daily activities and submit it to me.”

“Okay. Director.”

I have said this, but for a while I will have no choice but to intervene.

Unless Juliet reads my mind, it’s only natural that the Foundation will go in a different direction than I want. At that time, I should definitely tell you that this is what I want.

But if time goes by like that, the day will come when she will take care of everything on her own.

From then on, I don’t have to worry about it, and the Foundation will run on its own.

“Today is the first day, so let’s do this.”

“If you don’t mind, would you mind staying here and looking at some more papers?”

“Of course. I’ll give you a spare key here, so you can come and go whenever you need it in the future.”

“Thank you.”

Anyway, the office has removed all information that could reveal that I am a phantom thief. In the future, not only Juliet, but other employees will come and go, but I can’t let that happen.

Even the excessively ample funds have already been washed through her witch.

There was no reason to assume that I was a thief, unless it was a last-minute reasoning at the level of ‘you are a phantom thief because you have so much money to be suspicious’.

Even if I reveal my true identity to Juliet at least once, that would be a story after a long time. If she’s really trustworthy, and as her capable confidant, she’ll stay by my side for a long time, she might tell me. Until then, there is no problem.

“Yes. I forgot to tell you.”

She was about to step out, but turned to look behind her and said to Juliet, who was still seated.

“Maybe another employee will come tomorrow.”

“What kind of job does that employee do?”

“Hmm…”

I put my chin on my chin and pondered for a while before answering.

“A janitor?”

“… Huh?”

“First of all, your opinion is the most important law, so I’ll tell you about it tomorrow. Then work hard.”

“Oh, yes. Please go in carefully.”

Unlike Juliet, the awkward reaction was quite fun. Well, it’s just embarrassing.

Since it’s a small office with only two employees, there’s no reason to hire a professional cleaner already.

But that also means hiring Rachel’s sister to be her office worker.

That’s why I’m nervous about sending them outside as a salesperson.

In the end, all that remains is chores like cleaning.

Anyway, since my original job was a maid, I’m trying to save my occupation.

Well, even if you think about it like this, it will all be in vain if you reject it.

First of all, let’s visit and talk about it, then think about it.

First of all, with that conclusion, I headed to Rachel’s house.
