Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With - Chapter 327



327. The Second Escort 1

That afternoon.

I was assigned to Lydia for the second mission evaluation.

Leah somehow got through it, but she shouldn’t be at ease yet.

If you get the lowest score from Lydia, your overall score will drop drastically.

‘If I remember correctly, the previous score was 4.’

Actually, I was a very lucky person.

Because in the past evaluations, Irina was the only one who got a good score, and thanks to her, I was able to avoid the night guard.

But, I don’t think that will happen in this life.

What we are thankful for is thankful for, and what we live for must live on.

Sorry, but this life will be spent sitting in the planning office.

She will repay the favor by changing the security route in the planning department.

‘After this, I will enjoy a clean and comfortable life in a large corporation.’

I also have some idea of ​​the stocks that will rise in price in the future.

I don’t know when, but I plan to steadily invest the salary I earn from AR Group.

――――――.

I entered the shopping mall with a serious expression on my face.

To the top 2 stores in Korea, AR Plaza.

The place Lydia is currently in is the most expensive place in AR Plaza, ‘Panensula’.

The stores here are all luxury brands, and if I swipe my card once, my entire salary will disappear.

As soon as the oppressive scent of perfume came in, it hit the tip of my nose.

“You’re here.”

Lim Bae-soo.

A large colleague was waiting for me in front of the automatic door.

He is from a fighting athlete brand sponsored by AR Group.

He retired early due to an injury and was transferred to the bodyguard position.

Thanks to that career, it seems like he’s already been confirmed as Lydia’s exclusive bodyguard.

‘I guess he’s the only one who got 9 points.’

It was Representative Lydia’s highest score.

The reason I didn’t get the remaining 1 point is…

Maybe it was because of his shabby appearance.

Anyway, her evaluation criteria are very impulsive.

“Follow me, the representative is waiting.”

I followed him, hiding my uneasy feelings.

Soon, I came across a woman with long hair carrying a backpack alone.

The clothes are a one-piece dress that fits the body perfectly.

The white jacket draped over her shoulders is impressive.

Although he was of short stature, his body was impressive, befitting a mixed American and Korean.

In particular, the wide thighs compared to the narrow waist gave a healthy look to the image that could otherwise look pitiful.

A sharp gaze with a distinct self-image and red pupils.

After she took office as CEO, AR Fashion’s sales in the first half of the year reportedly jumped to 1.5.

“Who are you?”

Lydia glanced back at me with indifferent eyes, as if I were a street fox.

Most employees would feel tired just by looking at those eyes.

“I am Han Bae-il, a new recruit from the security team. I will be serving the CEO today.”

Around her, there are already senior security guards waiting in the distance.

Honestly, I didn’t feel like I needed new bodyguards.

Nevertheless, it is said that they are keeping an eye on new recruits… … .

It means that she has an incredible desire for talent compared to her small stature.

“Newbie?”

“Yes, I will only be accompanying you today because of the evaluation for selecting a place to be assigned to.”

One of the senior members of the security team quietly and reluctantly muttered.

Then Lydia waved her hand, saying she understood.

“Ahhh-. There was something like that, do your best.”

Lydia turned around, arms folded behind her.

And then, I took a brisk tour of the Panensula in sleek sneakers.

‘Is it finally starting? The Lydia-style crazy spinning top torture.’

First, Geun headed to the luxury accessories section.

Frida, Fanley, Louis Beaton, etc.

She observes all the luxury items in the store with serious eyes.

In the past, I thought she went around the store on purpose to test the patience of new recruits.

However, after taking the position of Chief of Security… … .

My thoughts about them completely changed.

Because the representatives didn’t have anything to do and were just wandering around trying to kill time.

“Hmm-.”

Mulberry, a new brand launched by Panensula.

Lydia, who arrived at the store, looked seriously at the store entrance with ruby-red eyes.

A stylish women’s fashion brand with a refreshing tree-shaped mark.

Lydia looked coldly at the slender mannequins displayed proudly there.

“Should we clear out all the mannequins here?”

She walked confidently to the display case alone.

And then, he immediately grabbed the mannequin’s arm and tore it off without a second thought.

“From now on, just place your arms separately like this.”

“Yes, I understand… … .”

None of the clerks could figure out why.

There were a lot of questions.

I just moved obediently as she said.

If you ask the wrong question, your self-esteem will be crushed by Lydia’s characteristically cynical speech.

“next.”

She kept walking and stopped at a brand called Beverly.

It is a luxury brand with a long history, and is especially popular among middle-aged women.

“The mannequins I removed earlier. Move them over here and display them.”

“Okay, sir… … .”

Lydia bit her red lips lightly with her sharp fangs.

It’s a habit I have when I really don’t like something.

“Store manager.”

“Yes, old… …!!”

The middle-aged man flinched in surprise at her cold voice.

He swallowed deeply as he looked into the eyes of the girl who looked a shade younger than him.

“Why do you have no sense of display? Can’t you even sense what the problem is?”

“I’m sorry, I’ll study harder.”

A man who looked like her father kept bowing to her.

However, no one looked at this situation strangely.

Lydia was the chairman’s daughter and a successful leader who drove up sales of AR Fashion.

“I’ll support you, so come and listen to the lecture with your colleagues.”

Certainly she wasn’t simply berating her staff.

It was a way to pursue the learning and growth of the lacking subordinates.

“Thank you… … . We will prepare in advance to ensure your satisfaction in the future.”

Lydia let out a short breath.

And then, I looked around the store again, pulling at the shoulder line of my one-piece dress as if it were a habit.

For a whole 4 hours.

The situation is so tiring that even the bodyguards secretly tap their thighs.

However, Lydia’s expression showed no change.

It wasn’t until lunchtime that we stopped at a dessert café in the store lobby.

“Let’s take a quick break.”

Only then did the staff and executive assistants breathe a sigh of relief.

However, they could not sit comfortably.

Because Lydia was standing upright eating black chocolate ice cream at a dessert cafe.

“… … .”

The staff were left tongue-tied by the poison.

With a look that made you wonder if they were physically weak.

While we were looking at each other like that.

Everyone’s eyes stopped on me.

Even though everyone was tired, Im Bae-soo and I had very calm expressions.

“Hey, you.”

Even though I’m used to the old days, maybe it’s because it’s my first time.

Lydia glanced up at me, spoon in hand.

“Yes, sir.”

“Still in good health? How old were you?”

I looked down at the 20-year-old representative who was about a head shorter than me.

Then, he answered with a narrowed eye.

“I’m twenty-one this year.”

“21 years old? You’re such a kid.”

Lydia snickered and waved her hand.

A gesture unique to those who study abroad.

‘Aren’t you twenty years old now… …?’

The words came to my tongue, but I pushed them back down.

From my perspective, having already lived to the age of 31 and returned home, the woman in front of me is…

Because it felt like a little sister who was very noisy.

“Isn’t the first escort more boring than you thought?”

She started asking me strange questions.

‘What? I’ve never been asked this question in my past life.’

She suddenly showed interest in me.

So I decided to answer carefully for now.

The woman in front of me is beautiful, but she is like a little devil with mischief in her eyes.

“No. I learned a lot while guarding.”

I learned a lot.

This is something new employees often say when they are just hanging around.

So most bosses tend to just let it go.

“You? Phew.”

Lydia laughed, pulling out the pink spoon she was holding.

Then, a long stream of clear saliva began to drip from his canines.

“Ahem. What did you learn?”

The representative turned his head and caressed his lips for a moment.

After that, he looked me up and down again, as if evaluating me.

‘I have to answer well here.’

A situation that could possibly lead to a score.

I calmly answered her questions about her behavior from the perspective of becoming the chief of security.

“The CEO personally inspected even the placement of mannequins, which may seem like nothing special at first glance.”

I said, staring at the Mulberry store I had seen again after making a few laps and coming back.

Certainly a more spacious and stylish store display than before.

There was no mannequin, but the handbag hanging from one arm looked very neat and formal.

“Such meticulous observation is also important in security. I, like you, will closely observe every little thing and be on guard against the four pillars.”

Some employees quietly exhaled in relief when I answered smoothly.

Lydia doesn’t look particularly upset either.

“Hmm. You’re smarter than I thought?”

I thought I could get 6 points at this point.

but.

“Then you know what I was specifically concerned about?”

The more I answered, the more profound the questions she asked.

As if they were trying to pressure interview me.

“… … .”

Is it because it is rare for a CEO to push a new employee this hard?

The executive secretaries looked at me with puzzled expressions.

As if desperately hoping not to hurt Lydia’s feelings.

“No answer. Could it be that you don’t even know what I care about and are just talking nonsense?”

She is a beautiful mixed race woman who speaks Korean fluently.

He was staring at my face with his eyes slightly open.

“If you give me the answer you like here-.”

Lydia hummed, shaking a small pink spoon.

Soon the ice cream mark she had licked stopped right in front of my nose.

“I’ll give you a 10 point evaluation, what do you think?”

10 points.

If I really get that score when I get a 7 from Leah… … .

‘The planning department is a given… …!’

“So tell me what you think.”

The representative of the fashion brand chuckled and nodded.

Her flowing black hair was swept to one side.

“… … .”

I took a moment to catch my breath.

And then he started to reveal the knowledge of a 30-year-old to this 20-year-old girl who was teasing people.

but.

I ended up regretting my choice that day.

From that day on, my work life began to become more than doubly, but also more than triply tangled.
