59.
I couldn’t say anything.
“What do you mean by ‘that kind of person’?”
“…”
“I don’t really understand what you’re talking about. So I’d like the Center Director to explain.”
How was I supposed to answer when he asked something like that…!
Besides, Lian’s gaze looked just like Castillian’s.
‘Just like that bastard from 【Imperial Acupuncturist】 that my past life self fell helplessly for, ignoring my own preferences.’
My body naturally stiffened.
When I didn’t make a peep, Lian tilted his head at an angle.
“Hmm.”
He let out a soft hum and changed his posture.
“By the way, what brings the Center Director here?”
“Th, that’s…”
I was flustered for a moment but soon composed myself.
‘This is my brother’s house, you bastard.’
My mind, which had been traveling to the other side of the Empire because of Lian’s half-naked state and strange words, finally returned home.
“…That’s what I want to ask. This is my brother’s house. It’s not strange for me to come here.”
When I shrugged my shoulders, Lian nodded slowly.
“Ah, that’s right.”
“Why are you here, Lian?”
Actually, I had asked in a very condensed way.
Originally, I wanted to ask, ‘Why are you completely naked and washing up in my brother’s house?’
‘But a Confucian girl can’t put such explicit words in her mouth.’
Lian replied.
“I live here though?”
My eyes widened.
“What?”
Lian’s eyes also became round.
“You didn’t know?”
“Of course not…”
“Why not?”
“You never told me.”
At my words, Lian raised one eyebrow.
He leaned against the sink and stood on one leg.
“I’m hurt.”
His thick eyebrows drooped in an instant.
I was dumbfounded and asked back.
“What? You’re suddenly hurt?”
“Yeah.”
“Why?”
“Because I thought the Center Director would naturally know at least where I live.”
Lian began to pour out words like a machine gun as if he had been waiting.
“The Center Director has a good memory. So you know where all the employees live.”
“…”
“I heard the seniors talking about it before. They said the Center Director sent New Year’s gifts to everyone’s homes individually.”
“…”
“Even what was his name? Kin? Hin? That employee moved, but the Center Director corrected all the addresses in the documents and remembered to deliver the gift.”
“…”
“The Center Director is ‘that kind of person’ but doesn’t even know where I live, that’s too much.”
“…”
“You have no interest in me at all.”
He who had been rambling finally closed his mouth.
A faint sigh decorated the end of his words.
I, who had been staring blankly, began to speak.
“…Excuse me, Lian.”
Then Lian nodded slightly.
His expression said, ‘Let’s see you try to make excuses.’
I smacked my lips and scratched the tip of my nose before opening my mouth.
“First of all… it’s not Kin or Hin, it’s Finn.”
Lian repeated my words.
“Not Kin or Hin, but Finn?”
“Yes. Finn Harbor.”
“First time hearing that.”
“What? No, how do you still not know the name of the senior who sits next to you?”
The reason was obvious.
‘Well, that’s because Lian has never once sat at the desk assigned to his name.’
The youngest one’s official seat wasn’t next to Finn’s, but the sofa near my seat.
“And it’s not because I have an excellent memory that I remember the employees’ home addresses, it’s because of work.”
“…”
“You know too, Lian. How we always struggle because our ghostwriting work piles up.”
“…”
“So I’ve had work delivered to employees’ homes several times. In other words, I made them work from home on weekends.”
“…”
“I have no choice but to remember because of things like that… It’s nothing special at all.”
When I closed my mouth, Lian narrowed his eyes.
He crossed his arms and pouted his lips.
“I understand.”
“…”
“But I’m still hurt.”
Good grief.
His attitude was so ridiculous that my mouth opened by itself.
‘But what’s even more ridiculous in the midst of all this…’
…was that honestly, I found him cute.
For such a big, sexy-looking man to be hurt over something so trivial.
‘Especially the way he keeps pouting his lips…’
I hastily tensed my jaw.
‘No, get a grip.’
Don’t get caught up in this habitual flirt’s fox-like behavior!
I unnecessarily cleared my throat.
“Ahem.”
“…”
“Alright. I’ll remember now. Lian, who’s staying at my second brother’s house.”
Then Lian’s eyes, which had been glaring somewhere, met mine again.
His sulky gaze had softened a little.
“Are you going to pay attention to me now?”
“Yes, I will.”
“You promised.”
“Yes.”
When I nodded, Lian smiled faintly.
‘…Now that I think about it, that’s really true.’
Lian was a foreigner, not from the Empire.
But I had never asked where he was staying all this time.
Lian always asks me questions though.
“Center Director, did you eat?”
“I ate.”
“When did you eat?”
“Before coming to work.”
“What did you eat?”
“Just ate normally… Why are you asking?”
“Just because. I’m curious.”
Even if it’s completely useless stuff.
But I had never once asked Lian about his residence or anything.
‘Is it because this guy has the image of someone who would eat well and live well no matter where you drop him off…’
Whatever the case, it was true that I had been indifferent to him.
‘Right.’
He has reason to feel hurt.
‘From now on, I should show more interest in Lian and ask him things…’
While thinking, I suddenly held my breath.
‘…No, what am I saying.’
Wh, what do I mean show interest and ask him things?
‘Am I crazy? Why am I worrying about this so much.’
I was definitely sure that meeting Lian had made my head go strange.
“Hah…”
I decided to do what I needed to do first.
‘I should get him dressed first.’
My mental state keeps getting confused probably because this guy is naked.
I grabbed the white robe hanging on the towel rack and handed it to Lian.
“F, first put this on.”
Lian’s gaze fell to the robe.
He stared at it quietly, then said.
“Why?”
What do you mean why, you bastard…!
‘Right now we’re alone together in this enclosed space.’
Of course we should both be completely covered up!
But I’m a Confucian girl.
That’s what I’m thinking inside… but I didn’t have the confidence to actually say it out loud.
“Why are you asking such things!”
“I’m asking because I’m curious?”
“No… never mind. Just put it on quickly!”
I mumbled vaguely while shoving the robe at Lian.
Of course while averting my gaze elsewhere.
Lian chuckled.
“Center Director.”
He grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward him.
I was dragged along like laundry being blown away by the wind.
“Eek…!”
Lian cornered me and placed his hand on the sink.
Once again I was helplessly trapped in his territory.
‘Damn it.’
If you’re going to do this, at least put the robe on first…
Lian spoke with a relaxed expression.
“Weren’t you interested in my body? Why tell me to put it on.”
As he tilted his head slightly, his wet hair fell to one side.
I made excuses as if having a fit.
“What are you saying, really? Why would I be interested in your body?”
“You were looking at it with interest though? Glancing, constantly.”
“…!”
“Did you think I wouldn’t notice?”
It was utterly absurd.
‘Crazy, what is he saying.’
Even if that’s true…
‘How can he say such shameless things so casually?’
I opened my eyes wide and gaped.
“Th, that’s not it…”
“I saw everything, so why deny it?”
“…”
“You caught me lying about having bad eyesight, Center Director.”
Suddenly I remembered what happened on the Imperial Palace terrace.
“By the way, youngest… You must have been watching me very intently usually? You even know what I do in the break room.”
“…”
“You totally caught me lying about having bad eyesight.”
Damn it.
The fact I had stated in the past had come back as violence.
Lian’s lips curved into an arc.
At the same time, his long eyes also crinkled.
“Right, it was a lie. My eyesight is good.”
Lian slowly approached close to my face.
A thrilling tension shot up through my body in an instant.
Soon he whispered in my ear.
“Siena got it right.”
