Chapter 111: 111

“Do you mind stopping by for tea? My coworkers and I are having some tea at the resting area, actually,” said Rosaine.

“I would love to, but I have loads of work to do. I’ll join you next time.”

“Sure,” Rosaine replied.

After handing over the documents to her and leaving the Finance department, I sighed. I said I would go on my way, but it’s still hard to hang around with people other than Rosaine, especially when they’re women.

‘They might dislike me.’

I was going to ignore how people thought of me. However, the rumors still lingered, and I was still a good candidate to gossip over. Not only that, getting ignored when I say something is still unpleasant and discouraging.

I felt so discouraged that I walked in a dazed state and couldn’t see someone coming around the corner. Fortunately, I didn’t bump into that person, but it was my mistake, so I bowed to that person to apologize.

“I apologize for that mistake,” I said.

“It’s alright. An official from the Finance department?”

The way the voice casually spoke to me sounded like he was a high-ranking official. I answered while putting my head down, “No, sir. I am an official from Internal Affairs, the Operations department.”

“Oh? I heard there’s only one female official there…”

I became curious about the voice that was trailing off and looked up. The cold snake-like eyes scanning its prey and the familiar facial features seen on handsome gentlemen, yes, this must be…

“Greetings, Lord Schuteiner.”

Damn Elise’s father. He sure was Elise’s father, alright. He’s handsome enough to be eye candy even at his age. But his eyes were much colder than that of Elise. He looked at me with vicious eyes that were about to attack, but he was still smiling with his mouth. What an a*sh*le.

“Greetings, Secretary Harrant. You surely are as beautiful as my daughter mentioned.”

Beautiful? You have the most beautiful girl in the country as your daughter. That Elise must have spoken all kinds of swears about me. Anyway, it’s really a bad day that I had to come across this man.

According to rumors, he loved his only daughter Elise, who looked just like his deceased wife, so much that he would die for her. He would do anything for his daughter. I’m sure he must have a huge grudge against me. Just the reason that his daughter hates me will be enough.

“Thank you for such flattering words. I’m so flattered that your daughter has spoken so highly of me.”

“Hahaha. My girl speaks so much about you.”

Although the conversation sounded pleasant, those words were a warning. It was a warning to me that he knew about me, and I should be wary of that. But I’m not one to cower before such a threat.

“My, isn’t that wonderful?”

He and I were going through an intense battle of the minds. If I were to cower, he would consider me a weakling from now on. And then he will swallow me, who made his daughter feel unpleasant, immediately in one bite.

“I’m so honored that your daughter thinks so highly of me. Please send her my regards as well.”

I have no intention to cower before you or Elise. I, who will become an ambassador in the future, will not succumb to such a threat. An official should never cower against outside threats under any circumstances. That was my knowledge of true government officials.

“Hahaha! Sure, I’ll relay your words for sure. Oh, and I’ll add that I like you. I look forward to it.”
