“Anna, I finally had my first kiss, and it felt great.” Luna exclaimed and started to tout about her endeavor.
“Welcome to the fun side, little cousin. It took you a while, but you made it here. Better late than never.” Anna encouraged Luna to embrace her new side.
“The kiss tasted so sweet and savory. No wonder you do it so often.” Luna described her experience savoring the aftertaste of the kiss. If Lorenzo were here, he would have a heart attack after seeing what Anna had done to his goody-goody granddaughter.
“….” Hearing Luna put it that way, Anna’s mouth twitched as she tried hard to control herself from yelling at Luna.
“*Ahem*..” I cleared my throat at Luna, indicating that the victim of her crime was right next to her. All my complaints fell to deaf ears, so I had no choice but to hold my rage in.
The kiss may have been great for Luna, but not for me. My tongue was still numb from being assaulted by Luna’s wild tongue. And sweetness and savory flavor that Luna spoke of was the sweet scent which the Dungeon Calamity seed uses to attract its prey to sow its seeds in them. This sweet flavor of my bodily fluids was hardly a notice-worthy perk, but for a first-timer like Luna, it was addictive. This made the kiss great for Luna despite it being a total disaster.
“….” Hearing me clearing my throat enthused Luna, who was narrating her first kiss to her cousin, hopped and hid behind her cousin like a startled rabbit. And right now, only one thought ran in her mind, ‘Oh my God, I am so embarrassed right now.’ The bold Luna who dared to assault a boy in public was no more there.
“Big sis, did you see that? One second, he flirts with you, and the next second, he kisses another girl right in front of you. How can you tolerate a two-timing jerk like him? ” Just when everybody thought the situation could not get any more awkward, Corey opened her mouth and blamed that I, the victim, had kissed Luna without her consent.
“Corey, didn’t you want to return to work for the card boutique? If yes, I do not think provoking Wyatt would work in your favor. So stop it.” Susan appreciated Corey as a good friend, and for the help she provided, but now she was also starting to feel that she was crossing the line by making false accusations.
“You right, big sis. I couldn’t help myself seeing the heathen go unpunished. But for now, I will pretend to be in his support.” Corey accepted Susan’s advice as she preferred to spend time with Susan. And that was only possible if she was an employee of the card boutique. Otherwise, Susan would be busy with work and never spend quality time with her even if she could get into the same university as her former boss.
“Fock! You do know that I can hear you, right?” I questioned Corey hearing her call me a heathen.
“Yes, boss. You have a very sharp hearing. Nobody can match your hearing the entire world. Boss, you are the best.” I did not know if Corey was being sarcastic or genuinely believed that her shameless flattery would work in her favor. I would forget about her crimes and employ her at my card boutique.
“Who the heck is your boss? Stop calling me your boss.” I repeated myself so that Corey clearly understood that I would never accept her. I do not want her negatively towards me affecting my workplace and our work.
“Boss, I know I was wrong. Please find it in your big heart to give this poor girl a way to make a living.” What the fock! When did she become so shameless and thick-skinned? Not to mention she called herself a poor girl. The Corey I knew is too prideful to even talk politely with me, let alone call me boss. Did she make a breakthrough in her realm? No, it appears not to be the case.
“…” I wanted to reject Corey more brutally, but Susan interested me.
“Wyatt, you might as well give her a chance. Otherwise, she will bug you until you do. And also, she has been volunteering her help till now and has been very well behaved. I think you should consider giving her a chance.” Susan knew Corey would follow them to Heatsend royal palace and the university, so she decided that they would better recruit Corey and help her understand how things work in society.
I never expected Susan would speak in favor of Corey. Susan considered Corey a friend, but she was a professional who kept work and friendship separate. Susan knew that Corey, with her current temper, would not be a good fit for our small card boutique. Therefore she would never recommend me to hire Corey unless she had other plans.
“….” I looked into Susan’s eyes and could hear them screaming, let’s teach this junior of ours how hard it is to make a livelihood. And help her understand the concept of hard-earned money.
Yep, as Corey’s best friend, Susan decided to take matters into her hands and teach Corey life lessons that would help her a lot down the road.
Susan had no idea of Corey’s origin card re-life and its ability to unlock past life’s memories. If she did, she would not have come to the current decision. Instead, she would pamper Corey more. Feeling sympathy for her poor soul.
But it was not my place to tell Susan about Corey’s predicament. If Corey wanted to, she would have already shared her secret with her. When she herself gets comfortable with the origin card, she may share her story with Susan.
“Big sis, you… I am touched.” Corey had one complaint with Susan, why didn’t she speak on her behalf? But now, seeing Susan finally talk on her behalf and give her a recommendation, she had no more complaints about Susan.
