Chapter 52: Am I Getting Fired?

“Let’s eat together once your performance is over today, Nora.” A dashing young man with grayish brown hair and sky blue eyes flashed Nora a dazzling smile.

This dashing young man was…Elias Callum. He had extraordinary good looks that rivaled even the most stunning of ladies. Even as simple a movement as closing his eyes was a sight to behold. His voice was also music to one’s ears. It was characteristically deep but soothing and very pleasing to hear.

Moreover, aside from being the son of a prestigious marquis family, he was also excellent in a plethora of things. He was blessed with not just two, but three or perhaps more, talents but no one was jealous of him because he was such a person of good character.

This amazing young man, beloved by all, was actually Nora’s lover. The world was indeed such a mystery.

“All right…” Nora replied absent-mindedly. Sensing something wrong, Elias’ eyebrows furrowed.

“What’s the matter? Are you not feeling well?”

“No, I’m fine. It’s not that.” She hurriedly said, but Elias didn’t seem convinced.

“I was just wondering how you’re with me… It just got me thinking.” Although she honestly told him, Elias’ eyebrows wrinkled deeper. Just as she thought he was going to complain, he suddenly brought his lips next to her ears.

This dashing young man just takes your breath away.

As she was berating herself over how increasingly nonsensical her thoughts were, Nora felt a gentle squeeze on her hands.

“We’ve finally become real lovers. You shouldn’t dwell on such depressing thoughts.”

“I’m sorry…” It wasn’t like she was dissatisfied with their relationship, but it must have been conveyed that way. Just as she was about to bow in apology, he reached towards her cheek and forced her to raise her face.”

“Don’t make that face. I know you didn’t mean it that way.”

“Right. I’m sorry.”

“Come on, stop apologizing. I’m looking forward to the Azure Nightingale’s performance today.” Elias smiled and gently kissed Nora’s cheek.

***

It’s been some time since Nora, a poor baron’s daughter, had met Elias.

She had initially treated him as a handsome lunatic, but they soon became good friends, then eventually temporary lovers, and now they’re officially dating.

Elias had been showering her kisses as much as he could but when they became real lovers, he somehow toned it down. He had wanted Nora to be more conscious of him by kissing her often, so now that they’re officially dating, he was no longer compelled to do so.

Thank the heavens.

That might be the case, but it was natural to feel a little unnerved by the change. Or at least, she wanted to convince herself that it wasn’t just because she wanted to be kissed.

“Nora, you’re making a face. What’s wrong?” As soon as she entered the dressing room, Flora had asked her but she wasn’t sure what kind of expression she was making.

“It’s nothing. So, what song are we playing today?” She put her bag down at its usual spot and looked at the sheet music in Flora’s hand.

“Well, our aristocratic patrons have increased, so I figured it’d be a good idea to play your favorite songs.”

“Has it really increased so much?”

“Sure has. Even if they don ordinary clothing, the restaurant manager could still tell by their behavior, aura and orders.”

I see.

Indeed, the general public enjoyed keeping their orders within budget, but the nobility would always order anything without hesitation.

“The food in this restaurant is delicious, isn’t it?”

Nora wondered if commoner food would suit the taste of the nobility, but as far as Elias and Allan were concerned, the restaurant food seemed to their liking.

“Quirky dishes that are never served in upper class manors seem to be quite popular. Even if you have a delicate palate, the taste for something delicious is the same.”

“Speaking of which, Lord Allan seems to have taken a liking to crispy fried chicken skin these days.”

It’s fragrant and delicious, but it’s not something to be served in aristocratic meals.

If it’s something unusual yet sumptuous, it would be no wonder that the nobility would come to eat.

“Well, that’s true. Besides, it’s quite fun to disguise yourself and enjoy the anonymity of going out. It’s exciting, and you can also enjoy watching a performance while eating delicious food.”

“The restaurant is also not dodgy and very safe.”

The restaurant’s owner was Baron Kocco… In other words, Flora’s father.

However, the expression on the future owner’s face was somber.

“Hmm… that might be the case, for now. There’s a certain nobility who knew the Azure Nightingale at the founding ball. I wonder what will happen when you leave.”

Hearing Flora say that, Nora’s eyes went wide open.

“What? Am I getting fired?”

Flora blinked several times before bursting out into laughter.

“Of course not. Why would you be? You’re the biggest asset of the restaurant. You’re not getting fired.”

“Then why would I leave?”

If she wasn’t fired, Nora wouldn’t leave the restaurant.

She had continued to perform at the restaurant, even after she’d paid their family’s debts and quit her other part-time jobs.

For Nora, singing here wasn’t just for money.

“If you get married to Elias, things would change, don’t you think?”
