70.

When Lian suddenly approached, I unconsciously hunched my shoulders.

“Yes…?”

He looked down at me quietly.

My foolish face was reflected in his red eyes.

‘Wh-why is this guy suddenly acting like this?’

Could it be that he’s upset I brought Violet in on my own?

‘…But I’m the one in charge here?’

I’m the deputy director of this Counseling Center…

That’s when it happened.

Lian extended his right hand.

“Here.”

My gaze dropped down.

In Lian’s hand was…

‘…Coffee?’

He was holding an iced americano.

“Eh…?”

“Take it.”

It was truly absurd.

‘He’s… giving me coffee?’

Suddenly?

‘In this situation? Really?’

When I didn’t take the coffee and just stood there, Lian added:

“Aren’t you going to drink it? Center Director likes coffee.”

“…”

“I bought it specially for our Center Director who can’t resist coffee. Mine and Center Director’s.”

Lian also showed me the coffee in his left hand.

Literally his and mine.

‘Well, that’s true…’

It’s true that I’m a Korean who absolutely can’t live without caffeine.

‘But you know, Lian.’

Of course I’m really grateful that you thought of me and bought coffee…

‘…You shouldn’t do this in front of Violet, you idiot.’

Violet was looking back and forth between me and Lian.

Looking a bit anxious, fidgeting with her fingers.

In short, Lian had put me on pins and needles.

‘Damn it.’

I couldn’t say anything about him buying coffee with me in mind…

Lian pushed the coffee toward me as if placing it in my arms.

“Center Director, you need to drink it quickly. The ice is melting.”

…Only then did I realize.

‘What’s important to Lian right now.’

He didn’t care at all whether a stranger had suddenly appeared at the Center.

He was only concerned that the ice in the coffee was melting.

‘Lian, you… are you a T?’

Don’t you see someone meeting us for the first time giving a shy greeting?

‘Is coffee more important than people?’

As an F, I couldn’t understand Lian, who was clearly a T.

Meanwhile, I felt sharp stares from the side.

Finn and Heaven were glancing at Lian with displeased expressions.

“Hmm…”

“Ahem, I’m thirsty too.”

They were giving him hints that he didn’t buy anything for them.

‘They don’t say anything about Lian not working, but they’re sensitive only about drinks.’

What childish seniors they were.

Then, a good idea suddenly occurred to me.

‘Oh…, that would be natural, wouldn’t it?’

I accepted the coffee for now.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Lian’s eyes curved into half-moon shapes.

I tilted my head at an angle.

“But there’s nothing for the other seniors?”

Then Lian rolled his eyes toward the staff.

After briefly scanning them, he replied:

“I guess not?”

…He was really a funny guy.

‘What do you mean “I guess not.”‘

There’s nothing because you didn’t buy any.

Holding back a sigh, I said:

“Lian, go out with the newest employee and buy coffee for the seniors.”

Lian’s eyes widened slightly.

Only then did his gaze reach Violet.

‘Wow…’

So this guy did know about Violet’s existence after all.

I actually thought Lian didn’t know she was there since he hadn’t looked at Violet at all.

‘Should I consider this fortunate…’

Lian, who had been staring intently at Violet, turned his gaze back to me.

“Why?”

Why indeed.

‘Can’t you just please keep your mouth shut and go…’

But asking isn’t a crime, is it?

I explained as kindly and briefly as possible.

“Because everyone wants to drink coffee.”

At my words, Finn and Heaven nodded vigorously.

They looked like they might start drooling soon.

“And Lian, you’re not the newest employee anymore. You’re clearly a senior with a junior.”

“…”

“As Violet Bringer’s trainer, Lian has an obligation to take care of your trainee.”

“…”

“So you two go run the coffee errand.”

Before Lian could say anything else, I asked Finn and Heaven:

“What do you want to drink?”

“I’ll have a latte. Iced, of course.”

“I’ll have an iced frappuccino. Please change the milk to soy milk. I’m lactose intolerant.”

…Good heavens.

I just learned for the first time that frappuccinos exist in this world.

‘And wait, you can change milk to soy milk?’

How do these NPCs know modern conveniences better than a transmigrator?

I also asked Isadora:

“What about Dora?”

Isadora was staring quietly at something.

Her black eyes behind the glasses slowly closed and opened.

She answered belatedly.

“I’ll have a cold americano.”

I spoke to Lian again.

“You heard that, right? Now go out and buy coffee for the seniors. Oh, and for Violet too.”

When I made eye contact with Violet, she nodded.

Her cheeks were flushed red.

‘She must be excited about going out with Lian.’

I took out the public funds envelope from the drawer and pulled out several bills.

I pressed them into Lian’s hand.

But… even so, he stood there unmoved like a stone statue.

‘Why is this guy acting like this?’

Is he doing his stone statue cosplay again?

I pushed Lian’s back.

“What are you doing! Hurry up.”

“…”

“We have tons of work to handle today. We need coffee to improve work efficiency.”

Lian, who had been looking down at me sullenly, let out a small sigh.

“…Fine.”

He began to move as if he had no choice.

In the meantime, I gave Violet a look.

‘Hurry and go!’

Violet seemed to understand and quickly grabbed her dress hem.

She hurriedly followed after Lian.

“L-let’s go together, senior…!”

But Lian only showed his back until he left the Center.

He never once looked back at Violet.

I found it a bit strange.

‘That’s odd.’

Lian is someone who knows how to match a woman’s walking pace…

Indeed, when walking with me, he had never once walked ahead of me.

So I had always thought this.

‘He must have wooed so many women that manners are ingrained in his body.’

But… not now.

‘What’s this? Is he in a bad mood?’

Because I sent him out again after he had already gone to buy coffee…?

Even so, it was still strange.

Lian wasn’t the type to get upset about such things.

“What could it be…”

I muttered quietly.

That’s when it happened.

“Center Director.”

As soon as the two left, the employees swarmed toward me.

“What on earth is going on here?”

Isadora’s eyes were sparkling brightly.

“Um, well, you see…”

I finally began explaining the whole story to the employees.

How I suddenly received Violet’s letter, and met her at the tea salon this morning.

How Violet suddenly confessed to me that she liked Lian, and how I hired her to set her up with Lian.

As the story went on, the employees’ expressions changed moment by moment.

“…That’s how it happened.”

When I finally closed my mouth, Heaven let out a hollow laugh.

“Hah…”

“Not The Prince but… our youngest? The young lady likes our youngest?”

Finn asked twice.

Then he corrected himself.

“Ah, no. He’s not our youngest anymore. That… Mr. Lian.”

“…”

“It’s confusing with a new employee suddenly joining.”

Finn scratched his head.

Isadora raised an eyebrow.

“Whatever Mr. Lian’s title becomes, this is a very strange situation.”

She pushed up the bridge of her glasses with her middle finger.

“No, it’s suspicious.”

Finn and Heaven turned to look at Isadora.

“Suspicious? Violet?”

“Yes.”

“What’s suspicious?”

Then Isadora suddenly frowned.

“Mr. Heaven Delgado, do you call that a question?”

Finn and Heaven seemed a bit surprised by the sudden scolding.

Isadora, who had been glaring at them fiercely, continued.

“Violet Bringer was someone who liked The Prince.”

“…”

“Someone ‘like’ The Prince, that is.”

“…”

“But suddenly she likes Mr. Lian de Vicelle… Do you really think that makes sense?”

She tilted her head as if finding it distasteful.

Her neatly cut bob hair spilled over her left shoulder.

“Definitely, she has ulterior motives.”
