274 – Senior Grave – 2
No matter how many times a child gets married, he never gets used to it. Even if that child is not your own child, but the child you have in your heart.
A nephew with blue hair who resembles his wife. Since he is not his own child, there are many things he does not know about him and he has not been with many times, but he is rather polite and gentle.
Unlike my children, who, unfortunately, look like me instead of my wife, so I can’t find even the slightest hint of cuteness, a girl who closely resembles my wife’s childhood personality. She’s lying if she doesn’t get stepped on in her eyes, and she doesn’t have a heart if she doesn’t want to be taken care of.
“Uncle! There’s a bed!”
“Yes, that’s pretty big.”
And since I was little, I was a child who welcomed me without being afraid of me, who had a somewhat rough impression. Every time he stopped by to say hello to the Earl of Iras, he carried the child on his shoulders and circumnavigated the territory.
She grew up to be a lady who now shy away from talking about things like that, but the intimacy she developed from an early age carried on to this day. To the point where she feels like her daughter, not just her nephew.
‘Time flies by.’
That child who was like a daughter, who laughed at the sight of her front teeth missing, has now become a bride ahead of her wedding. Never has the passage of time been felt as clearly as now.
Although it is very regrettable that this is the result of the passage of time.
‘…My niece and son-in-law.’
The 2nd section chief of the Inspection Department, who was quietly keeping his eyes down, turned his attention to the son-in-law of his wife’s nephew.
The mate Cristina chose was completely unimaginable. Publicly, she was familiar with her because she belonged to the Ministry of Finance, but she never thought they would meet in a private relationship.
I honestly didn’t like her very much. No, she rather wanted it against her at first. Don’t you know how flashy and colorful his relationship with the opposite sex is? I was afraid that my nephew would become a passer-by in the relationship.
– Uncle. I heard that Mr. Lafayette is your uncle’s subordinate, is that true?
Especially when Cristina contacted her on her communications line, she tried with all her might to persuade them to split up.
Of course, I tried to destroy section 2 after that. A guy who was dispatched for business purposes flirted with a stern wife and even talked about his real name, not a pseudonym? That’s insane. They say there are only crazy subordinates under a crazy boss, and the Inspection Department is just that.
But it failed. Instead of splitting, it became a stronger relationship, a relationship that was officially recognized.
‘I heard that there are no parents who win over their children.’
It was a loss to have the heart of a parent even though they weren’t real parents. Excluding the liveliness of childhood, how can you oppose a child who was shy and self-interested when he ejaculates with such a desperate face?
A member of the county family, the wife-in-law of the Minister of Finance, but the child who took the ascetic path of being an assistant teacher had her first crush on her. If you forcefully break up with someone like that, you’ll get hurt and never open up again.
I’m going crazy thinking about it again. Why, out of many, many men, he is the 2nd section chief.
“Now, take it. It’s what you asked for.”
Still, I pushed the negative thoughts away and took out the ring case from her arms.
If you regret something that has already happened, only that child will notice. It’s allowed anyway, so let’s accept it willingly.
“Go, thank you!”
Seeing Christina’s eyes twinkling after receiving her ring case, her slight discomfort quickly melted away.
Yeah, I wasn’t a very good husband before marriage either. Just as I changed when I met my wife, my wife’s nephew and son-in-law can also change.
Anyway, Christina, who opened the case with a flushed face, smiled as brightly as she could when she saw the ring split in half.
‘Would that be that good?’
I don’t know what kids like these days. The child who wasn’t greedy asked for it himself, so I listened to it, but I wonder why that half ring is so good.
Of course, apart from my understanding, that bizarre ring will set the trend. The ring worn by the guy who secretly drew attention to whom he married. In addition, the ring worn by the crown prince, crown princess, duke, and princess. This is an irresistible flow. If you don’t jump on this flow, you will become an aristocrat behind the trend.
– I forgot to buy a coupling. They seem to like it when they break it up in haste…
“If you don’t want to get divorced, hide it for the rest of your life.”
And the saying that not knowing is medicine came to mind. If you didn’t know the secret story of the ring’s birth, ‘That’s a trend these days.’ I would have gone too far.
Anyway, the young pups are already showing signs of dementia. What man in the world forgets the couple ring he’s going to wear with his lover?
“Mr. Lafayette, look at this. Isn’t it pretty?”
“…Yes, it’s really pretty. A treasure to keep for a lifetime.”
When Christina smiled and showed her ring to her nephew-son-in-law, her nephew-son-in-law was able to answer after a moment’s hesitation.
I understand. He’s the one who knows the secret of that ring too. The situation in which the ring he had ridiculed so much would spin around and be put on his hand would be complicated.
Even that ring was made by Aid, not by me. We were meeting at the New Year’s Celebration, so I asked directly.
“Split.”
“No, I want you to make more of these heinous things with my own hands?”
When I sneakily handed over the ring, I shuddered and refused—
“The owner of the thesis you tore will wear this ring.”
“I wish you a hundred years.”
With that one word, I split up right away.
Although it is said that he successfully submitted another topic as soon as the thesis was overturned, isn’t it true that the thesis was blown away once? If conscience were alive, I would never have been able to refuse it.
“I will insert it myself.”
“Thank you.”
I quietly closed my eyes while watching the result of that conscience get caught in the hands of Christina and her nephew and son-in-law.
The process was strange, but it was fine as long as the precious nephew was happy.
***
A New Year’s celebration where public officials can legally rest. In other words, you have to go to work the day after the New Year’s ceremony.
After tasting all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas at a splendid banquet hall, renting a private room for a good night’s sleep if you’re tired, you have to go to a dull workplace. What a terrible fall.
“…What are you doing?”
But as soon as I went to work, I felt it.
Today will not be a terrible fall, but a happy ascension. Not the Valley of Despair, but the Great Pleasure Mountain.
“Chief 2’s wedding celebration party!”
Chief of Section 1 replied brightly to my blank voice. And in the hand of Section 1, there was a dazzling placard.
[ Congratulations ☆ Congratulations ! Section 2 bachelor escape! ]
‘Oh.’
Instinctively, I remembered what happened last year. As soon as the academy dispatch was confirmed, the splendid teabagging suffered. Memories of shredding the placard that tore my heart.
Those memories came again, surpassing the time of one year. To congratulate Section 2, who has now degenerated from being an instigator to a party.
“Whose idea?”
“Me!”
“Good job.”
Good girl.
I stroked the head of section 1 with sincerity. Really good. A work colleague is getting married, but it’s not the right thing to do. If the only bachelor is getting married, shouldn’t we celebrate by taking a vacation that didn’t exist before?
When I looked around with a satisfied feeling, other executives had already taken their seats. Section 3 chuckles while pouring a drink for the deputy chief, and Section 5 rummages through boxes, perhaps looking for a drink that suits his taste.
‘It’s harmonious.’
It warmed my heart to see executives ready to congratulate a colleague’s marriage. I’ve never been so happy to be able to drink on the job as I do today.
“Oh, boss! Would you like a drink too?”
As the deputy chief, who overheard the conversation between me and the first chief, bowed his head, the third chief who was pouring alcohol for the deputy chief shook a bottle and said,
“I’m fine. Drink by yourselves.”
Of course I declined. Because I want to enjoy this joy and pleasure with my whole mind.
I don’t think I can stand it if alcohol takes away the pleasure I enjoy. This feeling is only mine…
“Well, if that’s the case.”
Chief 3 seemed to have decided to share the pleasure with alcohol, and as soon as I refused, he drank the entire bottle.
Yes, drink, drink. Today is a day when you are innocent even if you eat and rummage.
“Chief 2 hasn’t come yet, has it?”
After nodding to the 5th section manager who bowed to me, I turned my gaze back to the 1st section manager.
It’s important to enjoy a celebration party, but it’s not fun without the person in charge. Isn’t the wedding celebration party for Section 2 without Section 2 a little scary?
Of course, these bastards are the ones who threw a celebration party for me in my absence, so it’s nothing new.
“Maybe he’ll come as late as possible? I think he noticed.”
At the words of section 1, I burst into laughter. The one who has eaten meat in the past eats well, and the one who hits knows well where it hurts.
Chief 2 has already had numerous provocations against me. You must have guessed that the karma would fly like tai chi, and you would know that the day to pay off that karma is today.
“What can I do if I don’t notice?”
“That’s right.”
However, from the point of view of Section 2, it is regrettable that nothing will change if you find out.
Refused to go to work? Then we go catch up. Business trip application? It’s okay if I refuse. The wheel that rolls toward Section 2 can never be stopped.
My heart beats. This year’s luck is the best to experience this kind of event from the first day of work in the new year.
Despite the end of work hours, there is no news from Section 2.
“Did you escape?”
“Should we eat lunch outside while we go fishing?”
He touched his chin, ignoring the gossips.
What is this, this bastard is not the kind of person to be late. But he’s not the type to go out of his way to the point of absenteeism. I wish I would have been proud to leave early.
And that question was soon resolved.
– Take your men. It’s in the minister’s office.
“Yes?”
Suddenly a call from the Minister, the residence of Section 2 is revealed out of the blue.
‘Crazy.’
My head froze because it was beyond common sense. Why is that bastard in the minister’s office? That’s like finding a battalion commander in the corps commander’s office.
“…I’ll be right there.”
You bastard, did you run into the minister’s office to avoid teabagging?
