Chapter 77: 77

 

"I... you know me?"

"I've never actually seen you, but I've heard a lot about you and memorized you. You didn't seem to want to show up a little while ago, so I'm sorry, Miss"

She is very thorough!

As expected, it's like Violet Lippe.

I smiled and reached out one hand to Violet to ask for a handshake.

"Nice to meet you, Violet."

"Did you know my name?"

Violet opened her eyes wide.

"I heard it a little while ago, and I tend to memorize important things when it comes to clothing."

"Oh my..."

Violet smiles softly.

But her sharp eyes are constantly trying to read me.

Violet Lippe.

In my previous life, she was Clerivan's right-hand man and the second-in-command of the Pellet Traders Company.

Clerivan's genius was important to Pellet's brilliant growth in a short period, but Violet's meticulous management was also important.

If Clerivan took the lead and led the business boldly, Violet was a fantastic duo that managed everything meticulously behind the scenes.

Without a person named Violet Lippe, there would have been no 'Pellet Traders Company' that had risen like a comet.

Looking at how she was doing her job a while ago, I don't think there's any need to worry about being younger than Violet of that time.

Would grandfather have felt this way when he saw great people?

I smiled heavily at Violet.

"Tia?"

Then I heard the sound calling me.

It was my father who was just entering a clothing store.

"Dad!"

My father's eyes were round with a dumbfounded face when I ran and hugged him.

"How can you be here..."

"Because I can go outside from today!"

"Yes, that right..."

My father smiled in vain while patting me on the back.

"I can't believe the day when I meet you outside like this has come..."

The muttering father's voice became bright by his daughter's growth.

My father is too.

"How did you know Dad was here?"

My father usually goes to work at his office in Lombardy's headquarters or the Capitals branch.

This branch was one of the places my father often visited not long after it was opened.

"Sir. Clerivan told me!"

Just in time, Clerivan came in and handed over his jacket to a clothing store employee.

"Sir Clerivan?"

Clerivan, who received my father's attention, explained with great hmmm.

"She wants to surprise you, Sir Gallahan, and Lady Florentia asked me about the schedule..."

"I see... haha."

"Dad, shall we go outside?"

I asked while holding my father's hand.

"That would be great."

My father looked around and nodded.

It was because everyone in the clothing store was looking at us.

'Who's making all this noise?'

it wasn't such an unpleasant stare.

Rather, they seemed to have bumped into a famous actor or entertainer and whispered among themselves in surprise.

"I can't believe I actually saw that famous Galleria Lombardi father and daughter!"

"You're so cute!"

"The man back there, then, Mr. Clerivan Pellet!"

The murmur was growing so loud that I could hear their conversation.

"Let's go eat something delicious!"

It's lunchtime anyway, so I can interrupt my father's work a little bit.

When I said so, my father nodded with a big smile.

"So, Tia, what do you want to eat?"

Where should I go?

The list of famous restaurants that I wanted to go to after returning but had to endure crossed my mind.

* * *

Unlike his appearance, which seems to enjoy fruit or light vegetarian food, my father was thoroughly meat-eating he was very satisfied with the restaurant I guided him to.

In my previous life, I used to come here with a big heart when my salary came in, it was not a too luxurious place, but they roast large chunks of meat in the oven were excellent.

"Come back here later, miss!"

Louryl was happy, too.

But Clerivan was a little different.

But Clerivan's reaction was a bit different.

"Are you all right, Sir Clerivan?"

After putting down the fork without eating well, I asked Clerivan, who was wiping his mouth with a napkin.

I was wondering if he was sick.

"That's fine. It just doesn't suit my taste."

"Oh, no, Bro-, Sir. Clerivan doesn't like meat very much."

Louryl habitually tried to call him 'brother' but realized it was outside and said correctly.

"Huh?"

He looks like a meat-eater.

"You took a bite of the bloody rare steak, chewed on it, and then you drank the red wine and looked like you were laughing!"

"...That's a very specific example. But I don't really like meat."

"I didn't know either."

When my father cut the meat into large pieces, he was shocked.

"Then what kind of food do you usually like?"

"I like light salads or seafood-based foods. But there aren't many restaurants like that, so I usually cook."2

"Do you cook?"1

It's was a series of surprises.

When he got home, I thought he would leave his homework and go straight to bed.

I can't believe such a person cooks at home.

"Then, hold on!"

I ordered one more food from the menu.

It is a fresh salad mixed with freshly trimmed seafood and leaf vegetables, and it was a popular menu here besides roast.

"Wow."

Clerivan, who took a bite without much expectation, was surprised.

"It's delicious, isn't it, Clerivan?"

"Yes. Thank you for your concern, Lady Florentia."

"It's good to have a nice meal together!"

Obviously, it's nice to see Clerivan, whose meal speed has changed from a while ago.

I rested my chin with one hand and watched my father, and it looked like my father's meal was almost done, so I picked it up.

"Dad. Clerivan, give it to me."2

"Cough!"

"...Cough!"

For some reason, father and Clerivan were heard simultaneously.

"Dad, are you okay? Clerivan is here, too."

I handed water to two people who coughed.

"Well, Cough, what the hell do you mean, Tia!"

My father asked, still chilling with his mouth covered with a napkin.

Then, unlike my father, I stare at Clerivan with fierce eyes.1

"Sir Clerivan. Explain."

"No, I, uh... There's some misunderstanding...?"

Clerivan was wiping the sweat off his forehead with a napkin wiping his mouth.

I cut in and explained before further misunderstanding.

"Literally. I need your help from now on. Clerivan, did you resign from my grandfather?

"Yes, I resign yesterday."

As mentioned earlier, Clerivan arranged his employment relationship with my grandfather.

Grandfather seemed a little shocked, but I heard that he said to Clerivan, 'If you need anything in the future, just tell me'.

My father now stopped coughing and was looking at me and Clerivan with serious eyes.

"It'll be possible to work and work at the clothing store for a while. But later..."

Speaking of which, I felt a little sorry for my father.

Starting a new job with me was definitely a better opportunity for Clerivan, but he's my father who's been running the ready-to-wear business together.

"Yes. That's fine, Sir. Clerivan."

But my father's answer was simple and clear.

"The clothing store is stable now, so it should be fine. Tia needs more help from Clerivan than I do."

My father doesn't fully know about my relationship with Clerivan.

It just seemed to him that I was determined to get something started with the help of Clerivan.

Considering my age, it was the most reliable.

No one would think I would take the initiative in doing business with Clerivan at the forefront.

"Please take good care of Tia from now on, Sir. Clerivan."

When my father smiled and said so, Clerivan nodded.

Fortunately, my father and Clerivan were on their way back to the office to rest after completing all their schedules.

Father had to discuss a few more things with Violet, but Clerivan had done all his work.

So I took Clerivan and Louryl to my third destination today.

It was a busy street not far from the Gallahan Clothing Store.

However, it was a place where a lot of carriages passed by because it was somewhat far from the market and the boulevard was wide open.

Among them, I led the two people to a three-story building on the corner.

"This is it, Louryl?"

"Yes, that's right. The previous owner said he was waiting here... Oh, there he is!"

Louryl approached a middle-aged man, greeting him gladly.

"Where are we, Lady Florentia?"

Clerivan looked around and asked me.

"You'll find out soon enough."

The man called 'the former owner' led us to the first floor of the building.

Already, everything was emptied and there was only a small table inside.

And he took a contract out of his arms.

Most of it was already written, and only a few blanks and the last signature were left.

"Now, what's the name of the new owner of the building?"

Louryl, questioned, looking at me.

"You can write 'Clerivan Pellet.'"

"...Miss. Florentia?"

I could hear Clerivan calling me from the side, but I didn't look over there.

"Clerivan Pellet... Well, it's all done, so pay the balance and sign here by a man named Clerivan."

The man signed the part with his name on it and put down the pen.

"Here's the balance."

I put my pocket down on the desk and said.

It was my pocket money bag that I brought from home.

"Cash... Let's count for a second."

While the master counted the gold coins in my pocket, I turned to Clerivan.

"This will be our office from today."

"But why did you name me..."

"Because this building belongs to Clerivan."

"But......."

"I'm Lombardy, so my grandfather will know all the buildings I've acquired. Late or early. I can't do that, so it's right that Clerivan is the owner of the building."

"Is that right......."

"But apart from that, this building really belongs to Clerivan. It's a gift to do well in the future."

Clerivan stood still for a while, unable to speak.

Meanwhile, the former owner counted all the coins and confirmed that the balance was correct.

"Come on, Clerivan, sign."+

I handed over the pen to Clerivan.

After taking it and rolling it in his hand for a while, Clerivan soon wrote down his name without hesitation.

"Thank you, Miss."

After signing, Clerivan looked at me.

The former owner, who finished the contract satisfactorily, put the contract back in his arms and looked back at us and asked.

"Oh, and. When I report, I have to register the name of the building here with the government office. What are you going to do with it?"

"Pellets."

I answered.

"After the last name of "Clerivan Pellet," please report it as 'Pellets Shop'."
