145 – Whispers
“Absolutely not.”
“No.”
The two of us spit out an immediate answer without hesitation.
Then, as the two stared at us, our suspicion grew stronger.
Rachel frowned at her and threw a tantrum.
“Hey. Cubs It’s not really like that. Secret love between friends is real. I’m dumbfounded, so I can’t speak properly. If you’re going to do it, do it openly!”
“Because it’s not real!”
Yes. I’m afraid it’s a misunderstanding, but why don’t you listen to me when I explain it.
On the other hand, Yulia had a gentle smile on her lips. Unlike the hot-tempered Rachel, she is like an angel. While trying to express her resentment to her, she hesitated because she didn’t know why.
The mouth was clearly smiling, but the eyes were so cold without the slightest smile.
Is that the Yulia I used to know? She’s scarier than Rachel…
She wasn’t angry like Rachel. Just ask quietly
“Cro. Isn’t it?”
“Oh, no. Really.”
“I want to believe in Crow too. But why are you stuttering?”
“No. That is…”
Because you’re scared. No matter how proud a person may be, wouldn’t everyone be the same if they were standing in front of you right now?
No, why did you only do this to me in the first place?
Isn’t Sharon also under suspicion? Please don’t bother me and share a little.
“Then tell me why you missed today. The four of us wanted to go out to play, so why did the two of us cleverly fall for each other? Besides, the office is right next to your house.”
He sighed and made excuses.
“It’s the same reason as last time. I can’t go out because an important guest is coming to my house.”
“Who is that important guest?”
“It’s a relative. Are you done now?”
I still haven’t fully resolved my doubts, but if I said yes, what would they do?
I’m sure even these guys know that breaking into my house to check the face of a relative I don’t even know is a nuisance.
“Hmm…”
In the end, I have no choice but to accept it as reluctantly as I am now.
After my charges were narrowly cleared, it was Sharon’s turn.
Yulia revealed her feelings at the bottom of her sadness and asked her the reason for her absence.
“Sharon. I fell for it last time too, so can we go out together today?”
“I’m sorry. It’s important, so you must go.”
“Can you tell me what’s going on?”
To be honest, this is what I was curious about.
If Sharon really doubts my identity, she has no reason to kick the opportunity to visit Lupin’s office.
“Sorry.”
“…Okay.”
The atmosphere has calmed down a bit. I hope you draw a line like this here.
Even if you try hard to understand, you can’t help but be disappointed. Still, since the beginning of the semester, we have been hanging out together and have been friends.
Sharon opened and closed her mouth, hesitantly adding her own words.
“I’ll be sure to tell you next time.”
Did she realize that it was her best now? Only then did Yulia loosen her expression and nod her head.
“Yes. Please tell me I will be waiting for you.”
Still, I’m glad it ended on a warm note. Anyway, there must be a reason for hiding it like that.
I was worried for a moment. I wanted to follow Sharon and see what she was doing, but it was difficult to leave because Rachel and Julia decided to visit the office. Especially today is the first day Leah comes to work, so I can’t leave without leaving Juliet alone.
He sighed and made his decision. I have no choice but to give up today. Of course, I was very curious about Sharon’s identity, but right now, the priority was to solve the problem with Lappano and Drake.
Anyway, the opportunity will come again soon.
Let’s not think too impatiently.
***
As I said after finishing the academy, I headed home first.
Immediately after that, I disguised myself as Lupin and went to work at the office.
Rachel’s party stopped by the house first and said they would come to the office with Leah, so there was no need to worry about overlapping traffic lines.
I was greeted by Juliet, who had arrived before me and was already absorbed in her work.
“Hello.”
“You went to work early.”
“Thanks to someone, I have a lot of overdue work.”
It’s kind of embarrassing because you’re giving me attention so calmly.
Anyway, there seems to be a 99% chance that Sharon and Juliet are separate people.
I came to the office as soon as I finished the academy, but didn’t you come and sit down first? It’s physically impossible unless you’ve learned how to teleport.
“As I said yesterday, a new employee will be on the job soon. Please treat me well as a senior.”
“I’m only two days old to be proud of you as a senior.”
“That’s enough. How much can change in just one day.”
I sat in my seat and watched Juliet at work.
Something seems very busy. Well, in this day and age, there are no computers, so you have to do all the paperwork manually, so you have no choice but to be busy?
The good news is that Juliet was much more competent than I thought.
Honestly, I was at a loss as to how to expand the business, but she was proceeding with something step by step.
“Let me know if you ever need help.”
“It just went well. Please check all of these and give me feedback.”
“…All of this?”
A pile of papers suddenly landed on my desk. I thought that building a tower with papers like this was just a staged scene, but it turned out to be really possible.
I looked at Juliet in awe and picked up the document at the top and read it.
[Financial Plan for Foundation Office Relocation]
[New employee recruitment plan]
[Confirmation of department organization chart reorganization]
[List of charitable donations]
My head is pounding even when I skim through the large text. Just ignore it and deal with it appropriately, but there are only so important things like one that you can’t roughly check it.
It’s great that my subordinates are competent, but in the end, I’m the final decision maker, so I have to review everything.
Still, I can’t fully trust her to entrust everything to Juliet.
In the end, I had no choice but to grunt and start reading the documents one by one.
Then I immediately threw away my papers and stood up at the sound of a knock on the office.
“Looks like the new recruit finally went to work.”
The door opened and Leah came inside and greeted her nodded belly button.
“Hello! My name is Leah Scarlett, who will be working here from today! I look forward to!”
“Hmmm. Come in. Sit comfortably here.”
“Hey, that…”
Lea hesitates as if she has something to say.
She had already noticed the presence behind the door, so she could guess what they were talking about.
“What are you doing?”
“You know what? My younger brother said he wanted to come with a friend and apply for a scholarship…”
“Looks like you came with me. Of course it’s okay, so please tell me to come in.”
“Yes! Wait a minute!”
While Leah went to call her siblings, Juliet looked at me strangely and asked.
“Are you using honorifics?”
“Hmm? Are you jealous?”
“No.”
She was just joking lightly, but her expression contorted slightly as if she was genuinely offended.
She tried her best to pretend she was calm, but she hastily added her excuses.
“I only met her as a customer, so she was respectful. Of course, I plan to put my words at ease.”
“There is no need to explain to me.”
“…Aren’t you angry?”
“It can’t be.”
Well, it’s strange that I’m polite to Leah.
How can a middle-aged man who has grown his mustache look nice talking respectfully to a young woman? He’s like a perverted gentleman who has dark feelings and pushes hard.
Anyway, two girls in school uniform followed Leah into her office.
Lupine and Rachel, who had known each other for a while, shook her hand in a friendly way, while Julia, whom she had always heard about but had never actually come to, awkwardly bowed her head and said hello.
“Hello. This is Julia.”
“Looks like Miss Rachel’s classmate. Please sit here for now.”
It is a small office, but a sofa for hospitality was brought in for the purpose of assortment.
“I heard about it. She says she wants to apply for a scholarship?”
“Uh, yes. Is it possible···?”
Yulia doesn’t seem to have any confidence.
This is a natural reaction. To think that the lady of Grace, and no one else, applied for a scholarship. Of course, if you think about grades, you should be able to get enough, but it’s because the family is rich enough that you don’t even need it.
“Anyone can apply. All you have to do is fill out the application form here.”
“Yes.”
While writing the application form, he glanced at Juliet across the street.
The purpose of visiting this office in the first place was not to get a scholarship, but to see an employee who said he looked like Sharon, so that’s probably why.
And a whispering voice.
“Wow…”
“Doesn’t it look alike? Right?”
“Yes. You really look alike.”
Hey. Anyway, it’s rude to say that in front of the person concerned. Even if it’s not for the purpose of gossip, it can be quite unpleasant if you notice.

Just then, Juliet suddenly jumped up from her seat. In an instant, the two girls who shut her mouth and became mercenaries.
She looked this way for a moment and then she strode closer to her and said.
