Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With - Chapter 325
325. The First Escort 2
Representative Leah poured in some headache medicine with a cold expression.
And then, while putting it back in my handbag.
I looked at Team Leader Camilla, who approached me with a nervous expression, and me, who was walking behind her.
“What’s going on, Chief Security?”
“I heard that you adjusted your schedule today and are going home to rest. That’s why I brought someone to escort you home.”
It means going home, not to work.
Perhaps it is because of CEO Leah’s habit of working from home when she is occasionally tired.
“Thank you for your kind words, but I don’t think I’ll need a bodyguard today.”
The golden-haired representative smiled his formal, businessman-like smile.
However, that alone was enough to make most people feel favorable towards it.
“Korea is famous for its safety, right? We have a driver, so what could be the problem?”
“However, the Chairman said that he must always bring at least one bodyguard with him whenever he moves… … .”
Camilla mustered up the courage to ask for her understanding.
Then, Leah caressed her subordinate with a sensual gaze worthy of a representative of a group.
“Thank you for thinking of me, but I have privacy too.”
“… … .”
Camilla stepped back with an embarrassed expression.
The ones who even embarrassed the security team leader were the third generation of AR Group’s conglomerates.
If it were before, I would have been pushed back like the team leader.
But if you do that, you’ll get the lowest score from the first evaluation.
Whatever the reason, it means that the security was a failure.
Actually, at this exact moment in the past.
I got 0 points from Leah and 3 points from Lydia.
‘If it weren’t for Representative Irina, it would have been a night flight.’
Of course, if you think about the future 10 years from now, it would be better even if it was a lower salary.
Since there is a coveted option called the Planning Department, you have to get high scores from everyone first.
Let’s look back on our memories.
What happened to Representative Leah during this time.
‘Do I have a chance of getting a good grade from her?’
―――――.
Team Leader Camilla and I, who had been rejected by Leah and had retreated.
First, my boss took out his phone as if he was going to report this difficult situation to his superiors.
Meanwhile, I watched Leah briefly looking at her phone in front of the revolving door.
Afterwards, when Camilla returned after finishing her report.
“Team leader.”
“Oh, tell me.”
I spoke to her with a determined look in my eyes.
“If you give me the chance, can I ask for your understanding again?”
“what?”
The team leader stared at me with a dumbfounded expression.
Because a new employee who just joined the company dared to ask to meet the CEO alone.
“I know it seems rude, but if I let this go on, I won’t get a zero point without even trying.”
“What the… … . Did you eavesdrop on my phone call?”
Camilla looked at me with her red eyes blinking.
“No, I heard it from my senior.”
“There’s nothing I can do about it, the security chief is an old-fashioned person… … Whatever the reason, it means the escort failed.”
The team leader also had a bitter look on his face.
“Could I ask if this has ever happened before?”
“It was like that. Since all of your children are so kind-hearted.”
Suddenly, I remembered some of my seniors who didn’t have a single zero.
They said that they had never missed first place in a speed evaluation at a drinking party.
“Then did all of the seniors get zero points?”
“No, that wasn’t the case. The old bodyguards were so vicious. They would follow you in their cars and somehow get to the lowest point.”
I don’t have a car.
So, remote security is impossible that way.
However, that doesn’t mean there is no way at all.
‘You just have to get in the same car!’
“Okay, then I guess you just need to protect them in a way that doesn’t make them uncomfortable.”
“Do you have any good ideas?”
Camilla is not in a position to evaluate like Chief of Security Balderian.
So we just have to wait and see if an emergency situation arises in the distant future.
“Yes, please wait. I will continue the situation so that I can receive the security evaluation as politely as possible.”
Camilla nodded with a dubious expression, saying, “Okay.”
Then, I confidently walked straight out through the revolving door.
yet.
I approached Leah’s limousine waiting at the company entrance.
In fact, it is on the short side for a limousine.
It feels like looking at a long sedan that has been slightly stretched and pulled up.
Most conglomerates drive their own cars or drive Korean cars because they are conscious of the media.
However, perhaps it is because of the comfortable work and rest, and the fact that I am a foreigner.
Leah is said to travel in a comfortable limousine and take short breaks in the car.
That’s why the staff in charge quickly leave because of her sincerity.
Of course, among those employees… … .
‘Driver’ is also included.
“Let’s see.”
I took a peek inside the tinted car.
and…….
I noticed a chauffeur sleeping in a luxury car.
A look of obvious fatigue, with the head bowed.
Since you must have been out since dawn and waiting in advance, you must have been quite tired.
Besides, Leah is a hard worker who hardly uses her vacation days.
Thanks to that, even he, as a full-time reporter, probably never had a day off.
‘I think it was around this time that Leah’s car was involved in an accident caused by a drowsy driver.’
I knocked on the driver’s seat window with a serious expression.
Then, the driver raises his head in surprise.
Age: Early 40s.
An age where Koreans would have one or two children.
There were dark circles thickly painted under the eyes.
“Wh, what’s going on…?”
He rolled down the window and asked me.
A strong car wash smell wafted from the gap in the driver’s seat.
“This is Han Bae-il from the AR Korea security team.”
“Thank you for your hard work. But is there anything you want me to do…?”
The driver coughed, as if he didn’t want to be caught dozing off.
“It’s just that you look a little tired today, so I think it would be better for you to stop driving.”
I advised him in my characteristically cool voice from my days as chief of security.
Then, the knight whose corruption had been discovered frowned.
“This is what I do, so how could I leave my position?”
“I have a driver’s license, so I’ll drive instead. I’ll make sure to tell the manager.”
The driver looked displeased, as if his job was being taken away from him.
“I’m not trying to take your place. I’m just a security guard after all.”
He turned his head and pointed to the representative of AR Finance, who was slowly coming out of the revolving door.
“However, the current representative is not in good condition. If even a small mistake is made here, you will be held in great scrutiny, so I am giving you advice.”
The middle-aged man sighed deeply.
He muttered, pressing his eyebrows together as if he had a headache due to the accumulated fatigue.
“I have a daughter and a wife studying abroad. If I suddenly take a half-day off here, my superiors won’t look at it favorably.”
He explained his awkward situation to me by mentioning his family.
but.
Is there anyone in the world who is not desperate?
Having already tasted death, I felt no emotion.
“It would be better than me reporting to the CEO that I’ve been sleeping until now.”
The driver swallowed deeply at my cold gaze.
He must have thought of me as an easy target because I was clearly at least 20 years younger than him.
However, most bodyguards are people who are willing to harm someone for the representative.
“ha…….”
“I am just doing my best as a bodyguard, so I hope you understand.”
“Okay.”
Eventually, he ended up opening the driver’s door.
Then, he took out the car keys and slowly handed them to me.
“Key will be here tomorrow….”
“I’ll return it here tomorrow. Here’s my phone number.”
I exchanged business cards with him.
The driver realized that I had handed him two business cards and carefully checked their contents.
“This is… … .”
“One is my security team’s business card, and the other is a Starbucks coffee coupon.”
A coupon with 10 stamps on it.
I smiled at the middle-aged man who had swallowed his pride and paid him my last courtesy.
“It’s a cafe right in front of the company, so it’s perfect for a drink on your way to work. Let’s have some together tomorrow.”
The driver’s business card had the name Park Jeong-hwan written on it.
He looked at me intently and nodded as if he thought I was a person he could entrust the CEO to.
“Okay, today. I’ll take good care of Lady Leah.”
「――――――」
Leah Andalusia exiting the revolving door.
She put the headache pills into her handbag.
“Leon… … You keep annoying me.”
In the other hand the representative was holding was a document.
This is the performance ranking of AR Group Korea affiliates.
The first place is AR Electronics, run by the eldest son, Leon.
Second place goes to AR Finance, run by the eldest daughter, Leah.
Clearly, she too had outstanding achievements and was admired within the company.
However, it ended up falling short of AR Electronics’ revenue performance by exactly 3 billion won compared to the company that attracted external capital and made a comeback.
A situation where my pride was greatly hurt.
It’s a performance that would be enough to make an ordinary employee cry.
It seems that among the conglomerates, the stress is so great that they have to take medicine.
“ha.”
Leah approached the black limousine, her bangs elegantly brushed back.
But, for some reason, today the driver got off first and didn’t open the door.
“It’s annoying.”
If it were normal, I would have remembered that sloppy behavior and later warned the HR department in a cold voice.
Because he thought that if he was going to receive a high salary, he had to demonstrate the appropriate level of performance.
However, today she decided not to act that way.
Because right now, the second-place result that bothers me is more annoying than the mistakes of my subordinates.
That’s why I decided to maintain the image of an elegant and perfect woman that I always had.
“Let’s go.”
The woman sitting in the backseat spoke in a voice that didn’t even bother to ask.
but.
The head of AR Finance soon relaxed his frown.
The usual scent that lingers in the car is not the car wash smell… … .
Because it had been transformed into fragrant rosemary.
“Wait a minute. What is that smell?”
She asked in fluent Korean.
“It’s rosemary deodorant. The car smelled so bad, so I sprayed some of what I had.”
I answered in a calm voice.
He added, tapping his temple at the same time.
“I don’t know if it’s just me, but when the car wash smells bad, I get a headache.”
“I definitely feel that way, but… … .”
The representative laid his head comfortably on the headrest.
However, I jumped up at the sight of the knight whose voice was different from the one I usually heard.
“But who are you? I don’t think you’re reporter Park Jeong-hwan.”
“I’m Han Bae-il, a new member of the security team. I’ll be your chauffeur for the day.”
I answered, looking straight ahead.
However, Leah was still looking at the back of my head with a blank expression.
“Where did the knight go… … .”
“I took half a day off because I wasn’t feeling well. I couldn’t have any concerns when serving the CEO.”
A financial representative with a shocked expression.
However, since the intention was so unique, it was a bit awkward to openly discuss it.
“So, I guess I’ll be taking care of you today.”
“Do you have a driver’s license? You look like you’re just twenty.”
She looked at my pale young face and expressed her concern.
From noble mtl dot com
“I’m exactly 21 years old. I’m a Class 1 ordinary.”
“For your information, my travel time is no different from my rest time. That’s why I’ve always used only veteran drivers.”
She crossed her legs elegantly as if she were looking at me like a foolish boy.
The stockings covering her voluptuous thighs stretched softly and turned brown.
“Can you provide the best driving service for me like that?”
I held onto the center rearview mirror as if responding to the representative’s words.
And then, he said, showing me the pitch-black eyes from my days as chief of security reflected in the mirror.
“I was actually a division commander’s driver in the military.”
“Divisional Commander… …? Are you talking about the military’s Tusta?”
Leah tilted her head at the unexpected career.
Her appearance was noble, like that of a goddess taking interest in creation.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Hmm… … .”
In the US military, the prestige of a division commander was as high as the sky.
Leah nodded, as if she had met generals before.
“Well, okay. If we had invited those people, it would be a different story.”
The financial representative uncrossed his legs.
Then, he pulled the back of his head, which was stuck to the sheet, forward and placed it over his voluptuous curves.
“On the other hand, if there is even the slightest irritant, I will replace them immediately. I judge people based on their abilities.”
The average layoff period for employees working under CEO Leah.
4 months.
She warned me with a cold look in her eyes.
“Of course, I will give you the best time.”
The third generation chaebol woman closed her eyes tightly as if telling me to give it a try.
She sat alone with her arms folded, trying to be sensitive to each and every vibration she felt in the car.
but.
“… … ?”
The car didn’t start easily.
Then she opened one eye and stared at the back of my head and asked.
“What is it? Why aren’t we leaving?”
I looked back at her slowly.
And then, with eyes as thin as a fox’s, he smiled awkwardly.
“Actually, I don’t know where the representative’s house is… … .”
She grew up surrounded by the best talents her entire life.
He let out a laugh, as if it was his first time seeing a case like mine.
“This is ridiculous, really.”
She took a card key out of her bosom.
And then he handed it to me without thinking.
“Oh, I confirmed it. Yeoksam-dong, Luca Officetel… … .”
This is a legendary officetel where the monthly rent is a whopping 12 million won per 24 pyeong.
It is a super luxurious residential area where people live in order to practically save on taxes.
Leah closed her eyes again with a calm expression.
Then, this time, I frowned again at the clear voice of a woman coming from the front.
“I will begin the guidance.”
Me with the Navi app turned on in the beverage holder.
I burst out laughing when I saw the scene where he grabbed the steering wheel again like a bright-eyed fox.
“We’re leaving now. Enjoy your time.”
“… … .”
She shook her head slowly and closed her golden eyelids again.
And then, he lowered the corners of his mouth as if he had promised himself that he would call the team leader right away when he got home.
“… … .”
Even though I liked the new scent, why would a young child come out and drive a car?
A situation where you have to come up with new strategic plans even after going home.
The sweet 30 minutes of relaxation in the car until then was soaked with anxiety.
but.
Soon her expression became relaxed as if those negative emotions had melted away.
Just like when I was a little girl, sleeping in the backseat of my father’s car.
――――――.
How much time has passed?
Leah was enjoying the peace as if she was lying in a warm flower field.
“Representative?”
I slowly opened my eyes to a voice lingering in my ears.
“Sir, we have arrived.”
“what…….”
It was clear that she was so stressed out at work that she couldn’t even close her eyes properly, let alone sleep in her car.
But, when I opened my eyes again.
“Did I… … sleep?”
“Yes, it’s been over 10 minutes since I arrived.”
She got out of the car first and made eye contact with me as I opened the backseat door.
The gentle eyes from my days as chief of security.
“No way. I definitely didn’t feel any vibrations the whole way… … .”
“I told you so.”
I spoke in a relaxed voice, carrying my luggage on my back.
“You said you were a division commander’s driver.”
The third generation chaebol woman only then noticed the hair stuck to her red lips.
He hurriedly turned his head away, as if embarrassed that he had been caught in such an unguarded manner by a man who was only 21 years old.
“Oh, I understand. So step back. I’ll go in myself.”
I was beautiful when I was sleeping, but when I woke up, I saw Leah’s cold face and I stepped back.
As expected from someone who changes employees every four months, it didn’t seem easy.
‘Out of 10, I wonder if I can still get 5 points… … .’
